Low weight, great price.

No room for kit of any sort, not even inside. but a waterproof sack to peg your kit outside would be fine.

Yup, looks like a good fair weather tent but you get what you pay for.

No sign of anyone (http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=9052.0) buying one yet (http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/chatter/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=40&TopicID=221596) on the other forums that are discussing it....

Looking at the design it doesn't appear to have any type of porch or protection for the entrance, in a decent bit of rain would you get saturated trying to open it first thing in the morning ?And your sleepng bag and contents too ?
