User Reviews of the Matrix X9
By: Harrism Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2009 Rating:  Date: 26/08/2009
Having read many reviews on this tent here I decided to purchase one.
Delivery was very quick and it came in a sturdy bag on wheels. We've just returned from a trip to Croyde . The tent was easy enough to put up 2 people a must, however it was destroyed by strong winds in the early hours of the morning. Having a young family we had to evacuate quickly. The poles which are carbon fibre snapped under the wind pulling the guide ropes with it!. I have now insisted on a full refund from the store however they have refused; they have awful customer service so beware!
I've now ordered a Vango Amazon which has steel poles and is far more sturdy. If you're going to use the matrix or buy one best only use it when there is no wind about. Not a happy chap.

Massive tent, so much space.You need at least 2 or 3 to put it up and down. Bought it for 199.99 real bargain. Only issue to remember is to check with the site you are going to if the pitches are big enough as we did have some difficulty finding a pitch large enough for this tent at 1 site we visited recently. If you want acres of room and want the feeling of comfort then this is the tent for you.

This is a stunning tent.
Quality of workmanship is excellent.
Totally waterproof during a full night of heavy rain.
Acres of space and a light/airy feel to it.
It's heavy so vehicle needs to be suitable but goes up and comes down without any problems.
Bought this tent for £199.00 and it's an absolute bargain.
Highly recommended.

This is a very spacious tent. The bedrooms easily accommodate 3 adults in each. The living area again is huge with ample headroom throughout for 6 footers and above. Erecting took about 45 minutes but another 20 minutes of twiddling was needed to get it set just right. Fully sewn-in groundsheet with secondary SIG's to each bedroom make it very snug. There are fresh-air vents built in to each section of the tent and this is filtered through to the bedrooms giving fresh air without draughts. After a night of heavy rain the tent was completely dry inside despite being pitched on slightly sloping ground. This is a big tent and therefore consideration should be given to how it will be transported as it would probably be too bulky and heavy for the average saloon or hatchback. A beautiful tent and IMO great value for money.

We got this tent a few weeks ago, and managed to get away this weekend for a couple of nights with the kids.
Putting the tent was ok for the first time, it took around 45 minutes, and a further 1/2 hour to finish off setting the guy ropes, and pegging down.
We are more that happy with the room inside, the living area was plenty for us, and if you look at the pictures we have posted, the carpet is 2.3m x 2.3m. The sleeping pods were great, we did not have to bend our heads, when inside them. Our two kids had one side pod each, with a single air bed, and there was clearly room for them to party in there as well. We used the rear sleeping pod, this has two doors, front and back, which allows you to use the back door in the tent, if you do not want to take the pod down. Each sleeping pod has 3 pockets in to hold you suff while you sleep.
The front pod is what we used as the kitchen area, and was not cramped at all, this also has side windows, that have a toggled cover, for privacy.
Only downfall we can see is, if we do not want to use all three sleeping pods, the windows have no covers, so not the most private.
That aside we are more than happy and can't wait to get away again, 7 weeks and counting.
If anyone knows of a good porch/canopy that will fit the Matrix, please let us know, as we like to have the door open, but can not when it rains.

I agree with the above review, it took us about an hour to put up, not bad considering the the kids where helping. Internal space is massive, with 3 detachable sleeping pods, we took the pod out which is opposite to the front to give more living space. We had the older 4 kids in one pod and the baby and dog in with us. Only problem with such a large tent is keeping it warm at night, we'll be getting a heater for next time. It's a massive weight at 42kgs not something you can just pick up and go.
We haven't worked out what the flap near the entrance is for either.
For £200 it's a great family tent and good value.

Purchased this on a whim when I spotted it for £199 at best-buys
Took me and another 40 minutes to put up and we were amazed by the quality of workmanship and the shear size of it.
Has three great sized bedroom inners, each with plenty of space for 2 and comfortable for 3, a great sized living area with a good sized porch, boot room.
Bedrooms separate from external shell and benefit from windows that open with a flyscreen.
Was fully waterproof during a 2 hour downpour with the sewn in groundsheet staying dry also.
All in all a great bargain and will be staying with the family for some time to come, to be honest you could sleep 9 in the bedrooms and probably another 6 in the living area.
Centre of living area has a vent light which held a strip light (electric pitch) with no issues.
Came down in about 20 minutes and packed away in the wheely bag without a struggle.
Only issue potentially the weight, but not a major issue.
And if the small opening at the entrance is a cat flap??
A stunning looking tent with bags of space for rainy days.
