NB: Regarding BlackOut Coatings:

The BlackOut coating is designed to block up to 95% of light and reduce the internal tent temperature by up to 10 degrees. There are four layers of coating applied to the fabric to achieve this feature. The material can sometimes have a ‘speckle’ effect where it looks like there is some light coming through the material, this doesn’t mean there is an issue with the flysheet.

NB: This does not have any impact to the performance of the waterproofing or BlackOut feature and is simply something that can occur with this material.

Amazing!!

This tent is AMAZING!! Used for 8weeks straight, and pitched up in Central Otago (overlooking Clyde dam) while I did an orchard season. Pitched on unforgiving ground, endured some epic wind spells and a good rain/hail storm, this tent stood up to it all!! I honestly can't rave about this tent enough, everyone who was living around me in cabins etc were very impressed and mentioned often 'best advertisement' for this tent/brand. It definitely fooled other tenters new to the area, 'well that tent is OK let's put ours up next to it'....yup next wind they were slapped up against mine oops. The blackout feature is a bonus and worth it. On the site i pitched it we used cut down warratahs with D shackles for main fixing points as we knew about hard ground/wind etc yeah we really tested this tent....secondary pegs were from H&F then standard tent pegs for the rest of guy ropes. The pegs that come with tent are ample though for a more kinder camp site of grass :-) as I did test run on backyard before venturing Central. The 3 rooms ideal I used as storage/living/bedroom and front porch as kitchen space.
