The verdict
I couldn’t quite believe just how tiny the tent was when packed down. It comes in a beautiful, co-odinating carry bag, and it was so light I couldn’t quite believe that the poles were inside too!
The tent is double skinned, and comes with 3 poles to hold the tent up. The poles are quickly and easily assembled and fed into the inner tent to erect. Next, comes the beautiful flysheet, which drapes over the top and get’s pegged out. Erection is truly a breeze.
Design wise, it is of course stunning. The Olive and Orange print by Orla Kiely is bright and funky, without being too over the top, so if you like to stand out and be a bit different, but don’t have a huge budget, then this would be a great buy.
With a HH of 3000mm, that’s a decent level of waterproofing, and the double skin design will ensure you stay dry even in torrential downpours.
We’ve tested similar tents before, and we were super impressed with this one, especially at it’s current sale price of £65. It took 4 minutes to put up and peg out, and thanks to the shaped porch area at the front of the tent, there is plenty of space to put things like bags and boots, to stop them taking up space inside.
We liked the addition of small internal storage pocked at either side of the tent, handy for storing things like mobile phones and torches in.
Whilst It is classed as a 2-man, as is usually the case, you’ll need to make sure that if sharing, you are using narrow sleeping mats or pads, to fit two adults side by side. For that reason, particularly for festivals or weekend camping trips, we’d recommend this tent for single use, but for a night or two, as long as you don’t have heaps of gear, there is enough space for 2 to sleep side by side.
Thank you to Halfords for supplying the Orla Kiely tent for us to test.
