Big enough for myself (5' 4" and my big 6' 4" man). Space for luggage in front end

Easy to assemble

2.5. Kg
3000mm water
See picture for full specification
Packs down to 370mm x 150mm

Used for about 4 or 5 nights

Selling because we have invested in a 3 man light tent to do a bike tour for 6 months. We'd then use the new tent to hike with.

Had managed to get up to owning 5 tents so rationalising too.
