Has any one got an opinion of the Wynnster Cygnus

Hi,

Recently commented on how please i was with my new cygnus 6! Very spacious, seems robust (but not really put to the test yet weather wise), & a lot of tent for the money.

Did notice some down sides tho - as all tents have, namely, each pole has one or two toggle on them attaching the flysheet to the pole. It's a small thing but it does get tedious attaching them all & taking them all off again!  The other thing is that the price of having plenty headroom inside is that it can make it a bit tricky to get the flysheet over the dome when pitching.  I'm 5'10" & managed without too much difficulty, but a few inches shorter & i would've struggled.

In my opinion though I would still heartily recommend this tent to anyone looking for a robust, spacious & comfortable tent.

P.S  The great advantage over the very similair desiged Vango Diablo is the extra pole in the bedrooms - it does make them far more roomy & at no point does anyone feel they're sleeping with the inner tent sloping onto their face!!

Hi

Thanks for your comments we actually have now purchased the tent.

We had actually just put the tent up for a trial when we read your email, it was funny as all the things that you said were the things we had commented on. If you read the instructions it says the flysheet has to be hauled over the tent, which is very very true.

But all that a side it does seem a lovely tent lots of room and spacious bedrooms.

Regards
