I Loved this tent thats why I wanted to review it. Why not 10/10 well I did find it a bit of a struggle to put up, particularly on my own. That was nearly impossible actually. (Though you're not supposed to anyway, but I have actually managed similar tents and found them easy enough to do). It took too much time and effort if your touring that is a no no for a start.
Otherwise the build quality was truly outstanding and I took it through the toughest storms I have ever experienced camping and never even got slightly damp. I actually woke up one day in a shallow pond and not a leak, amazing. I have also seen the wind flatten the poles (the tent was tied off to my roof rack as the car formed a wind break during that blow!) and the tent sprung back into perfect shape. I was very impressed with it's resilience I have to say. I would venture to say it was indestructible but they said that about a ship once too. Space was massive but another downer was wind noise at night, possibly because of the thickness of the material who knows? but it was extremely waterproof and very strong so you can't win it all.
