Yes my wife and I have a Nomad Massai II two man tent and have had it for around three or four years. Looks excellent, height make it great to live in - can stand up to get dressed for a start and does the job. All in all a good buy albeit not cheap.
Have a couple of photo's of it up but not fully open. Ours takes about fifteen to eighteen minutes to erect and a little less to dismantle but we onl use it once or twice a year for our longer holidays could not see your taking that much longer as the form is pretty similar - just bigger.
been away a few days so I've only just read this. I was v. interested in the nomads due to the polycotton material, for breathability. unfortunately, the only one that I thought was big enough for my family of 5 is out of stock and not being sold again this year. so back to the drawing board. I've sort of decided on an outwell bear lake 6 now as a consolation. I don't think my ideal tent exists. thanks for your reply.
yes it is difficult finding the correct tent it took me about four months to find what I wanted then I had to wait about six months for mine as, same yourself, it was at the end of their season for selling. The material was also one of the reasons I chose Nomad and it is very pleasant and airy. Anyway at least you have managed to obtain something closer to what you want - have just looked and they do have the same feel see photo I posted - unfortunately also have about the same price range.
I assume you have been to Nomads website because you can buy elsewhere and even from mainland Europe if I remember correctly as they are Dutch If you have not then try http://www.nomad.info/uk/

Just clicked on again now. We must have missed eachother last Wednesday. Yes I have been on the nomad website itself, but the one I wanted is out of stock on it too and not being stocked again till next year. They must just order what they think they'll sell in a season and when it's gone it's gone - until next year. I would have loved one for their lightness and breathability (compared to what I've got). I have actually gone ahead and bought the outwell Bear lake 6 as I couldn't wait any longer - going camping in 2 weeks. So, thank you for replying to my query, and I hope at least you will enjoy your nomad - a really fab tent. Bye.
Seen them at a few shows and they appear to be well above average quality.
