Orion 200

Awesome little tent, I'm 5'4" so it's huge for me! Totally waterproof, no sealer needed, easy to erect, peg the front fly out, insert the poles into the straps, peg the rear two fly points out., then the guys either side. and the pole bottoms. Adjust the TBS system, not tight, not loose, and enjoy! Plenty ventilation for hot weather and depending how you peg the guys, the whole front can be unpegged and folded up, but it's a little 'odd' looking! Cold weather there's enough ventilation to mitigate condensation, but not enough to stop the inner getting and staying warm, and it's easily adjustable, basically a flap at the top rear and undo the door at the top a little (sheltered by the fly with the front and rear of the inner having large mesh vent sections. I love it The Entrance, I don't see it as a vestibule), is just large enough to cook in with the door closed, but top vent open. I use an old fire blanket 2' square to place my stove on the entrance (included) tarp, and it's just large enough to accommodate boots, a pack and wet clothing. Mostly though I keep all my kit inside, it's a small 2 man but large for a 1 man tent. I love it, simple, easy, dependable.

If you want a large and luxurious tent for camping on even ground then I would highly recommend this tent. Despite the price, it still light and protective enough for multi-day camping, packing down to a manageable size. I brought this with me on my trip to Corsica to do the northern part of the Gr20. This very hard trip pushed me and my kit to their limits, including the tent. Considering the price, I came away very satisfied. One day, the weather turned and we were hit with torrential rain out of nowhere. We had to rapidly throw up our tents at a campsite. The rain got so bad, that my father's tent was flooded by a huge puddle that built up around it. As he was cold and shivering, we decided to share this tent for the night. While it was snug, we could both fit in well with all of our kit and stayed dry. My only problem was being able to get the tent properly pitched on the rough, loose and stony soil of Corsica's mountains. Often I was forced to work with small scraps of flat ground on steep slopes. The tent has two curved poles running in parallel, perpendicular to the direction of the tent's entrance. This means that the tent will only stand up, if the 2 pairs of pegs at the front and the back are secured firmly in the soil. At times I difficulty with this, BUT I was able to make the tent stand, but loosely and with reduced internal capacity. I don't consider this to be a major failure, as I don't think this was the sort of thing the designers intended it for. Just be aware that this tent does its best on flat terrain and firm soil. Pros -Lots of headspace, large internal volume -Fits two average sized men snugly as long as the kit is kept in the vestibule. For one man, it is a luxurious experience. -Reasonable weight, for the size and price I paid (It cost me £68.10 when I bought mine in 2018, but I still think it is worth it at the current price.) -Held up in torrential rain, kept me and my father completely dry. Cons -Large ground footprint -Not freestanding. If the front or back pegs come loose, then the tent will collapse. In practice this is only a problem if you are forced to pitch the tent on loose, stoney, uneven ground.

This is an easy to pitch tunnel tent with two aluminium lightweight poles and a good front porch for gear , boots. It's quite lightweight at around 2.6kg , easy to pitch , I like the green colour , it blends in well with natural surroundings. The inner tent is spacious, Ventilated and there are pockets inside for storing items , flashlights and other small items. The inner is bright orange, its quite wide and suitable to use as a solo tent or it would be good for a couple maybe for camping or festivals. I personally think it makes a good solid and spacious one man tent. There's definitely room for your backpack and boots in the vestibule porch area. The tent is waterproof at 5000hh, once you have attached the inner tent the whole tent pitches as one, once guyed out it is a very sturdy structure and stands up well to wind and rain. A good budget option for wild camping , festivals , it's a well made tent and it's easy to get back into its bag , the bag is over sized so no problem at all.

I think I paid around £140 for this, or in another words, when it was at its dearest but I’d still pay more. It’s so well built. Taken it on a number of wild camps from summits to glens to lochs and it’s always held up extremely well. Doesn’t really get much condensation. Not having a mesh inner really helps to keep heat too so it can be proper cozy in there. Easy to set up too. It comes with a little footprint for the vestibule however I decided to buy a bigger one that fits the whole tent to help protect the tent better and add insulation. If your worried about adding weight via a footprint, we’re talking 100g’s here! Hardly much more. The downsides are that it is 2.6kg pack weight so for hiking, it’s certainly about a 1kg heavier than other tents but for the extra weight it really does feel more rebust. Had it out in 30mph winds and it held up really well too. For me, the only other downs are the seating height is low meaning it’s not a tent I’d want to spend loads of time in bar sleeping and a bite to eat.

Premier montage au camping, la tente etait trop tendu à deux doigts d'imploser implossible de detendre. Deux oeillets dechiré, un arceau qui est droit mais tordu sur un coté, ca n'aucun sens... Et je viens de m'apercevoir qu'elle est trouée sur la surface qui est en contact avec le sol, bref elle a été tres mal conçue . J'aurais du la controler avant de partir . J'espere qu'amazon me fera un geste ...

Great little tent so easy and quick to set up. It really does just take only 5 minutes to set up, and if the weather is just terrible it is possible to set it up in moments with 4 pegs for a dry place to hide from the rain. It is nice and compact when packed away, and fits the rear bike rack nicely next to the packed airbed. I have used this tent up in the Swiss Alps and in the German black forests, and it kept me nice and dry even with the full on summer storms. So all in all a very good deal for the money.

I use this tent yesterday in hatta dubai whole night camping…

Tolles Zelt für den kurzen Camping-Trip, ob mit Bahn, Fahrrad oder zu Fuß. Sehr leicht, gut und schnell aufzubauen, hält auch Sturm und Regen stand.
