Not a very high hydrostatic head figure on it DK ! Hope there isn't prolonged rain when it's used.

Good price for a large summer tent though !

Remember that little tent of mine !


6000mm head for the flysheet, 7000 for the groundsheet


I've been in constant rain for days in the Lake District, and the same in Scotland.
A cheap tent, in the Lakes cut short a holiday. From then on I went Terra Nova for sleeping under the stars.

The tent we bought was put up on the morning of the day of the rains, when half the south (and Gloucester & Tewkesbury) flooded. It was put up in a garden just outside Reading and when we went to look at it next morning, the inside was bone dry.
