My Review:

This is a popular tent that provides comfortable accomodation for 2 adults and up to 3 children. The tent is 3 season and all purpose which is an added benefit. There was an issue with minimal draught coming through the tent even though there is a bigish gap at the front, I believe now there is a skirt around the flysheet to stop the draughts. The living area is plenty big enough to sit around a small table with chairs. The tent it lightweight at around 8kg and can be carried in a backpack. Although Wild Country specialise in backpacking tents they have a sturdy and durable range of family tents as well. The only disadvantage is that their tents tend to be inner tent pitching first, meaning pitching in the rain can be a problem. However this is overcome by the quick pitching time.
