User Reviews of the Spirit 300+

By: Leafletter  Reason: I own(ed) one  Made in: 2005   Rating:   Date: 12/06/2009

PROS: Like a Tardis, small packed size but impressively large when pitched. Quick and easy to put up with pitch-as-one. TBS makes it very stable in windy conditions. Hasn't let in a drop of water even after days of torrential rain. Huge porch for cooking, storing gear, and taking off wet clothes without soaking sleeping bags etc.

CONS: It's nice and roomy for two but would be a bit of a squeeze for three. Only one door in the fly limiting pitching options. Sags when wet (but so do a lot of other tents). As-one pitching means the inner gets wet if you put it away in rain. Bit heavy for cycle camping. Condensation in the porch area. No groundsheet in the porch. (We use a 3x2m pe tarp to protect and keep clean the inner sewn-in groundsheet and a 2x1 for the porch). You can buy a footprint but we've never bothered.

This fantastic new invention turns a can of drink into a sealed bottle, protecting drinks from being spilt, keeping out creepy crawlies, and keeping fizz in. They are a must for any camper or caravanner.
