Title: Charlies Outdoor Leisure Beris 1 Man Camping Tent
Post by: FairWeatherCamper on March 19, 2014

Hi,
Has anyone ever used one of these tents?

I am on the lookout for a new 1 man tent - a cheap one, because I don't camp solo too often.

The Gelert Solo is actually cheaper, due to free delivery, and I assume it'd be the better tent?

Anyone any other recommendations?

I own a Gelert Solo and highly recommend it for the occasional solo camp especially in good weather, it's lightweight, packs down to a decent size and despite its miniature size (think of it more as an oversized bivvy bag) i've slept in it quite comfortably. Although it can be a tight squeeze (i'm 5ft 9) there's enough space for a rucksack to fit in between the inner and outer, as well as your boots and other various bits and pieces. You won't be sitting up in it as there just isn't the head room but sure, you'll only be using it for sleeping. It's a fun little tent and for the asking price, it's worth it.
