Poor quality
"Out of the bag there was a grommet missing so then pole just goes straight through. Needed it that weekend so fixed myself but…. Kathmandu quality has gone down to that of the ‘App’ sellers. 👎🏼"

Good value for $ but not for heavy rain
"Repels the rain quite well when you are in it but very difficult to get out of and keep gear dry if it is raining. Best to pitch under trees or spare fly in this case. Cosy and easy to pitch. Material seems quite durable but not super light, understandable at this price. Great for spare in case hut is full or full of snorers, probably not for extended trips away from huts."

"Great little tent, easy to get in and out, great ventilation and warms up nicely if closed in too"
Great wee tent for a
"Great wee tent for a hunt, gets a little condensation over night inside but quick to dry"
Poor quality, multible defective tents.
"Very poor quality. I purchased the tent from Kathmandu for solo motobike camping advientures. Set the tent up when I got home and noticed the insect mesh was freyed and weak in many points all over. Almost torn. I took the tent back to the store and opened another one in store. SAME THING. Quality control is lacking and I honestly expected better from Kathmandu."
