Voted 3/5 | My first 4-season tent. It failed on its first use! It was a hell of a storm of course (2 out of 7 tents in the group held) but that was no excuse. One pole broke and punched through the fly (which came down on my face together with the inner tent). I bought a set of poles for the Selewa Cordilliera and patched the fly .Having bought the tent in a bargain at 50% (now you now why) the new poles didn't set me back for much and they are much better. I also changed the way the fly connects to the inner tent, which was another drawback: it used fastex buckles, which failed in strong winds. After this modifications it became a quite good tent but I wouldn't recommend going through all that trouble.
This design (common to many tents, like the Salewa Cordilliera or Sierra Leone) offers a lot of space but it is not very strong. In strong winds it would be a good idea to support the free ends of the third pole with your trekking poles.
Pros:
-Roomy
-Warm: The aluminised fabric really makes a difference
-Easy setup
-Handy pockets/ shelf/ hook
-Light for its size
Cons:
-The poles really suck
-The fastex buckles holding the fly fail | | Posted Jan 29, 2004 6:15 am |
