Product Description:

A 2 person backpacker tent with easy front access. A suitable for fun, festival or weekend campers – great value for money.

Price:

I have again managed to obtain a special highly competitive price from Amazon through this link.

 Gelert Eiger 2

The price is a discounted £19.99 for the basic version.

My Review:

Affordability is the key feature of this product and at the new £19.99 discounted price this is a great price even for the terrible, budget tents you can buy. However Gelert is not a budget make and this tent has so many additional features it cannot be a budget tent. Although the inner must be pitched first (not great in wet conditions) the tent is so quick to put up it shouldn’t really make a huge difference. The size of the tent is comfortable and it is square meaning no-one pitching too close to your sides. The heated vents are essential for warmer weather, especially after rain when the inside of your tent can get humid. A great budget priced but not budget quality tent.
