As everyone else has said brill tent, we had a couple of niggles, the bag containing tent had a screw missing and the pole bag was not sewn up properly, but outwell are replacing these. One other thing a tagle which holds up the window came off, but we have sewn that back on. In use its as per every other report big warm and with the carpet cony. Again as per, getting it in bag is interesting, but watch the Outwell video on their website and all becomes clear.

The old saying, 'you get what you pay for' certainly rings true with this tent. Everything about it oozed quality. A great sturdy tent with solid poles and substantial zips on the doors and windows. The luminous guy ropes and tabs on the zips make finding your way around inside and outside in the dark much easier. Quite a hefty tent to pitch but worth the effort especially when the gales howl and the wind lashes against it without any problems. Although the description states 6 berth I think a family of four is where it's at, any more and you may feel cramped. The bedroom pods both comfortably hold king size beds and had handy pockets in for storing mobile phones, glasses etc at night. There is bags of living space and with a side porch too (which we actually use as our toilet tent!) Plenty big enough for a table and chairs as well as camp kitchen and wardrobe although the extension is a useful piece of kit as an add on. The sewn in ground sheet makes a huge difference when the temperature drops and we stayed warm and dry even in some really bad storms. My only criticism is that for a tent so HUGE I feel delta pegs are a must as the pegs provided were as useful as a chocolate teapot when the wind got up. My other gripe was that the front and side door both had zips either side with velcro tabs across the bottom, I would like to have seen the zip go across the bottom too for total draught exclusion although there's probably a good reason this isn't the case. All in all it's a fab high quality tent which I have no regrets about buying and hopefully will last some time as it seems VERY sturdy.

This is a fabulous tent. It has a huge amount of space and is perfect for a family of 3. It is really well made and we had no leaks despite it raining constantly on our camping trips to Wales. The outside pockets on the bedrooms are really useful and the Sewn-in Ground sheet is excellent. We found the porch very useful for keeping our toilet in.
The main downside is that the front door of the tent is sloping so if you have it open and it starts to rain you have to close it otherwise water will come in the tent. However this is easily solved by adding the brilliant extension.
The steel poles are also really difficult to pull apart when you are packing it away and so we already have some broken connectors (though they are only there to keep the poles together when packed so no big problem and they can be repaired easily by our local camping shop where we bought it)
I think that with the extension this tent is just about as perfect as a tent can be.
Is it wrong to fall in love with a tent?
Maybe we need to get out more but not camping, obviously!

Amazing tent, went to Old Oaks, Glastonbury for 2 weeks, it did a great job of keeping us nice and dry :-)
Would highly recommend this tent. The porch/side entrance to the tent is great as you can leave your dirty wellies/shoes in there without them filling up with water.

I won't repeat the plaudits given by everyone else as I agree with them, it is a great tent rather I'll mention the things I didn't like.
1) Having owned a Vango Colorado 800 DLX before I was surprised how big and heavy this tent was. It comes in a big heavy bag and the poles come in another bag as well.
2)Having spoken to a few other people they seem to mention snapped poles when putting the tent up. I can confirm there is a lot of tension on the poles while you erect the tent.
3) The front entrance doesn't zip completely shut. The bottom part of the door just has three velcro patches to keep it shut and therefore will let win and rain in, if the direction is right
4)The pole that fits into the porch entrance, which intern sits in plastic holders, pushes against the tent quite a lot. I have seen mention on this site about rips being caused.
Don't get me wrong this is a great tent but not without faults. Watch the 'putting-up' and 'packing-away' video's on YouTube they are a great help. When I came to put the tent up for the first time I was happy I new which order to do things in.
I also purchased with this tent.
1) Front Extension. In my view this is an essential piece of kit. It rained a lot while we used the tent and without it cooking would have been impossible. A MUST HAVE
2) The Kids Room. My boy loved this and to be honest I was quite jealous. If you have young children they will really appreciate you getting this.
3) Ground Sheet. Well worth it to keep the tent clean.
4) Carpet. It's ok but can't say I felt like I was living in Buck House.
In summary fantastic tent that is well made and has lots of nice features, but boy is it heavy. Erecting the tent is very easy, putting it away is a real task and will take a few attempts to get it right.

First upgrade from a old canvas Cabanon must say what a great choice. First go at erecting it was hard until the other half told me instructions were sewn in the bag.
We spent 4 days in a very wet Clitheroe it did nothing but rain from Friday to Monday and at one stage a lightning storm. Glad to say the Monty held out with no signs of water in the tent and our comfort went un interrupted. Went up the road and bought the sun canopy so we could carry on cooking outside it was so easy to add on it took minutes.
Over all very impressed one down side was getting it back in the bag but after three goes at home we got it.

Just returned from my first camping trip for 13 years, and after reading the reviews here went for the Montana 6. I wasn't disappointed! We didn't have bad weather to test the tent, but I was amazed at the venting options and mozzy nets, they really are useful to keep the tent cooler in hot weather and keep the insects out. Although the tent went up easily enough, I found the porch tricky first time until I found the plastic cups they mentioned in the instructions. This tent is really huge for 3 people and my sister in law refers to it as the 'Tag Mahal'. All in all it feels like quality and if you are a bit afraid of camping, a tent like this lets you in gently!

Just returned from our first holiday with the Montana 6, having previously owned the Sun Valley 8. What a fantastic Tent the Montana is, I love it, easy to put up, bit difficult to get in the bag, but that will be fine with a bit more practise, we already had carpet, footprint sheet etc, so it is just like a home from home, and the side porch is invaluable for a bathroom ! Going away again next week, and cant wait, we had some tremendous rain in Dorset, and the tent still stayed dry & warm, seemed less drafty then the Sun Valley 8. Would definitely recommend this tent to anyone

Just returned from a very wet week in Cornwall, First time we have used the Montana and was surprised how quick it was to erect the video was useful. We had a narrow pitch and ended up using the side door not the porch door as entry access, the dog sheltered under this on the only sunny day we had.We bought all the accessories the sun canopy a must for cooking especially in the rain, The carpet I laughed at when I first heard about it but wouldnt be without. We bought a kamp khazi which was a godsend during several rainy nights.All in all if you love camping with a few home comforts you cant go wrong with the Montana, gonna try France next year and hope for a bit of sun

Just used ours for the first time and we really tested it! camped on the beach (nearly) we were really open to the elements, it was really windy and rainy but the tent never failed us. On a night we were sat inside and was really warm. We dont have the carpet but dont feel we need it as we dont play on the floor now as the girls are teenagers. The footprint made it feel warmer and we also used the side bit for our invaluable khampa khazi. The only thing I found annoying with the tent was all the zips to get in and out, I appreciate the design but getting in and out it just seemed like zip city, however this only a small snag and like I said it has design in mind. We have the extension which was great, we sat in there to and watched the rain as we cooked tea. Although not the cheapest tent around I do think it is worth every penny. Loads of room loads of space bedrooms fantastic due to height all in all 4 happy campers.
