Great Tent

 Reviewed By Paul, 08 May 2012

I bought this last week and took it away on my first camping trip for many years. Easy to pitch and put away. Plenty of space in the bedroom and in the sitting area.

Third time lucky...

 Reviewed By Nathan, 19 Aug 2011

I purchased this tent to take my wife and 2 year old son camping. The first tent I was given had faults, so did the replacement. Cotswold's exchanged them both with little hassle.
The 3rd one was tested at the last opportunity and was A OK.
I would say this is a 4 man tent, max. Pulling back the sleeping pod divide really doesn't add that much space, it would just be really snug.
There's good ventilation with the vents above the front door, side window, rear vent and additional door.
The tent looks like it has plenty of room when you put it up, but once you've got all your gear, food and luggage in there really isn't much space left for living.
Definitely get the fitted tent carpet, it's good if you and your kids are stuck inside because of bad weather.
I'd recommend this tent and have done to a colleague, but if you're serious about space then go for the Icarus 500 XL. I'm looking into a forward extension for some extra space, in hindsight I'd have paid the extra as it's a cheaper option to the extension and less hassle.
Don't forget to check dimensions and weight when picking your tent...

Superb tent

 Reviewed By , 07 Jun 2011

It's really easy to erect and well made . It's marketed as a 5 man tent but i think someone would have to sleep in living area to achieve this . i find it great for 2 of us plus dog for long weekend stays . you see plenty of icarus 500's on campsites which proves it's popularity.
