The Best Tent!

I absolutely love the OzTrail 6p Lumos Blackout Tent, it's brilliant! The quality is superb, and super easy to set up. This is our second OZTrail tent and we loved our first one which was alot cheaper, but are blown away by the quality in this tent. You definitely get better quality for paying extra for the more expensive range. OzTrail has brilliant ventilation in their tents and there is great clearance between the inner and outer fly to increase air flow and reduce condensation which is great. I love the near vertical walls which gives you great headspace within the tent. These walls still hold up well in wind too. The tent 'pops- up' and 'pops-down' really easily as stated, like a gazebo does. I love that the tent bag is expandable to make it easier for pack down and that there are straps included to help keep your folded tent in place. It does fold up differently to a standard tent though, bear that in mind- take note of how it unfolds when you first set it up. I had to google a video from Oztrail of how to pack it up which was helpful and now that I know how to, it's very easy to pack-up . Completely 'blackout' as stated, but more-so than I was expecting which was great. With everything zipped up in the middle of a sunny day, you'd definitely need a light to see inside. The only thing that surprised and disappointed us was the lights. They were easy to set-up and use and were really bright which was great. I also liked how you could run them off a powerbank instead of batteries. The light switch remains illuminated so that you can find it in the dark, we did unplug them overnight though so we could sleep better without the glow of the switch. However I feel like I have been subjected to false advertising when considering to buy the tent with or without the lights. In the photos on the listing for this tent, it shows the LED strip lighting running down the poles to the corners. This is what we were expecting, 4 strips of lights running down to all 4 corners, as indicated by the photo on the listing for the tent. Instead, the tent comes with just 1 strip of lights across the top for $100 extra. It is clear that the photos that have been used on this website listing are of a different model, with no disclaimer that the photo was of a different model. Keep this in mind when considering whether or not to upgrade to the Lumos version. There is 1 pole running horizontal across the width of the tent and that is where the LED light strip is located.
