Been pondering for a while with regards to buying a Polycotton tent.
Some of my larger tarps are Polycotton and I can't fault them for strength and quality.......I just like the material.
A good balance between nylon and canvas.
What actually spurred me on to buying one is the up and coming Scotland trip in February 2019.
I intend to use a heater in the tent which has ample ventilation.
It has a very nice sized vestibule to use for cooking if needed.........although I will more than likely add a small lightweight tarp to extend the admin area......as I did with the Lux Megahorn II.
It has a good sized living area with sewn in groundsheet.........will sort out a footprint for it asRobens do not supply one.......which is a shame but no biggy.
The tent I got is the 2018 model that does not have the black opening/closing vent at the top.....it will not be used with a woodburning stove.
Robens carry out some quite extensive tests on their tents with regards to wind and rain.........the tent stands up to both elements.
Going to put it up and get some more detailed pictures of it and look forward to giving it a full review after the Scotland trip.
