Have owned a Montana 6 since 2006. It has stood two very windy summers in Cornwall when other units ripped and collapsed on their occupants. It took a 50 mph battering and heavy rain and there was no leak or damage. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
You need to watch the DVD to work out how to put it up etc first time but this tent once up is ample for a family of 4.
We've added the front extension which gives a better cooking area and the carpet for added warmth and luxury.The custom fit footprint helps keep the underside clean and dry and is worth a purchase if you can.
A good sturdy tent well worth the expense, if you're a family looking for a good value reliable tent then this is a SERIOUS contender

We bought this tent because of the amount of space that is provided and because the four of us (two adults two young children) could all sleep in one room because the two rooms can convert into one.
It has a sewn in ground sheet.
Room to stand up in both the sleeping area and living area. Two large doors, a porch door and four windows so we could let plenty of light and air in the tent. The doors and two of the windows have a mesh covers so you can let in air but stop the bugs.
A cable entry point, some sewn in pockets
We also brought a carpet that is especially made for the Montana 6 which made tent feel that extra bit more cosy.
We have had a couple of days in it in heavy rain and no water came into the tent. We shall be using this tent for a few more years yet!

A lovely quality tent, enjoyed every bit of staying in it this Summer. Easy to pitch and take down. It withstood some strong winds without us really even feeling a draught. The rain can come down on it all night and there's hardly a spot of water inside in the morning. Plenty of space and height, loads of ventilation and visibility. A good quality feel to the materials. Only downside was a zip on the main weather flap pulling apart. I wish they'd chosen a darker fabric for the sleeping pod end. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic tent. Loads of living space in the tent and also a huge bedroom. Great for two people as in our case. Could easy get two adults and two children sleeping in here no problem, maybe not anymore or might defeat the object. Great that you can open up windows in the tent to get air in. Our holiday was saved by this tent as it rained all week. Worth the money and worth buying the extension or the porch as well. Would recommend.

We've had our Montana 6 for two years now and used it eight or nine times in all weathers.
As mentioned in other reviews the extra side porch is one of its unique selling features. Some use it to store shoes, but we use it for our bucket toilet which saves late-night rainy dashes to the facilities with our children. The removable groundsheet is a godsend in case of spillages!
The sewn in groundsheet in the main body of the tent keeps it snug and warm even in strong winds. We also have the carpet for extra cosiness early or late in the season. The 'lip' on the doors seems a little annoying when children trip over it, but the tent remained dry even when a mini lake appeared underneath.
Also in its favour are steel poles. We have remained standing in high winds when other tents around us have packed up and gone home due to breakages. I originally resented the weight of the steel poles, but with experience I am glad of them. This year we bought the extension which means that we can now cook and eat outdoors, but still not get too wet.
It does have downsides. The front door doesn't zip across the bottom, so we use the mesh door to add stability. I imagine this will change soon as the 2009 version already has a better-designed side door. It is very difficult to fit back into its holdall - but I've since bought an extra large outwell bag and life is much easier. It also fits fits in the footprint groundsheet.
In all a good solid tent, perhaps a bit too much for a weekend but perfect for a UK family holiday - rain, hail, gales and all!

We love our tent. We use it from April til October in all weathers, which it takes in its stride. It can withstand strong winds, heavy rain and has plenty of ventilation in warm weather. It is easy to erect and fold down. After practise it is easy to get in its bag! It has plenty of room if there are two of you going on a 10 night vacation and if you are a family of four. I really can't fault it. Yes, the zips can be annoying but offer good protection against wind and rain. I would highly recommend this tent for the money, but please shop around. We were very lucky and paid £260 last June, so please shop around!

Purchased my first tent - Montana 6 in the sales 2008 in preparation for family holidays in 2009. Have to say that this site really helped a complete beginner like myself to research and choose an appropriate set up.
Just come back from our 4th camp this year and happily recommend the Montana. It suits our needs - 2 adults and 3 kids (8,8 and3) perfectly and has withstood the range of English weather extremely well.
The front extension allows us to cook and sit outside in all weathers and the carpet helps keep the tent warm on chilly evenings.
10 out of 10 overall for all the outwell gear I've purchased (table, kitchen, heater, sleeping bags). However, the tent gets 9 out of 10 due to the silly velcro design on the front and side doors (which has been mentioned by many other reviewers), plus I'd like to be able to leave the kids room up, but you can't remove the original bedroom pod. Perhaps this will be addressed in later models.
Wasn't keen on spending £500 for the complete set up initially, but like most things in life you do get what you pay for and the Montana has made our first year's camping really enjoyable. Looking forward to many more happy holidays in the monty.

We love our Montana. Just come back from a very windy week in Wales and tents around us were collapsing everywhere, poles snapping but our sturdy tent stood strong. We've done many weekends now and several longer holidays both in the UK and France and our tent really is home from home. Lots of space for us, 2 boisterous young boys and 2 jack Russells. We bought an ex display model and it's been a true bargain. Can see us getting many more years use out of it yet. Only downside is you need 2 adults to carry/erect - quite tricky at first but once you get the hang of it and follow your routine it goes up in about 20 minutes. Love the sown in groundsheet and the fact that the big bedrooms just pop up inside. Love the handy and numerous pockets to keep all those camping bits and bobs neat and tidy.
We use a cooker and cooker stand inside, a table large enough for us all to sit round, four chairs and a dog cage and there's still plenty of room to move around plus fit in cool boxes, food boxes etc. On sunny days the front porch opens up and is wide enough to give great views. On wet days we open the 'curtains to get great views and light and use the tradesman's entrance (as we call our side porch) which stops any wet getting inside. You can also put the tent up in the rain, safe in the knowledge that all will be bone dry inside. Side porch also great for storing shoes and a bucket for middle of the night widdles.
Lots of vents, windows, fly screens etc - only problem is that hubby seems to spend a lot of time fiddling with them, opening and closing them depending on varying weather conditions throughout the day!
All in all we love our tent. We've been through several before the Montana but will now stick with this one for as long as it lasts - which I suspect (and hope) will be quite some time.

This is the fifth tent we've had over about thirty years. We feel like we've moved forward a century. It's so much warmer and sturdier than anything we've owned before. We had every kind of bad weather you can think of, and did have to put it up and take it down in really strong winds (which we'd hoped wouldn't happen), and following the Yeoman guy's YouTube method we had no problems at all. With two of us (and occasional help from children) we could do it in about 15 minutes. Make sure you watch how to put it away as well as how to put it up.
We don't have car room for the footprint or the carpet, but didn't feel it was a problem. We use two picnic blankets to sit on, and they were enough. We did invest in the children's room - brilliant.
We haven't had a fully sewn in ground-sheet before, and were worried about ventilation, but if you use the velcro 'things' to keep the ventilation open, it's brilliant, less condensation than any of our previous tents, but not cold.
The side entrance has a 'rain porch' which we made good use of - stored all the shoes and boots out there and the inside stayed clean and dry.

Just spent 1 week in Cornwall and, despite the cloudy weather, enjoyed my stay in this luscious tent.
Copes with wind and rain with ease. The sun canopy and front extension are brilliant for shade and shelter. The bedroom pods are very big, and can fit the double bed that I have , with lots of room left for all my junk ļ. Lovely amount of living space to put cupboards and everything else. Overall, a tent that is highly recommended not just by me, but everyone else to have one. Definitely the perfect tent for me. Outwell have done extremely well to pull this beautiful creation off.
