As it says, have been to the trade only stoneleigh camping show today.

All makes having their 2008 models on display, and all I can say is its going to be the year of the polycotton :)

Vango, Kyham, Gelert, Robens and Outwell all having new polycotton models for this year - all looking very very nice.

Also - anyone fancied a front extension in polycotton for their outwell lake or sea tent? It's coming :)

Most impressive of all for me was the Gelert new polycotton range, it looks great. Zip in ground sheets, small pack sizes and great looking quality. Nice light tan colour too.

I have pics (and some RRPs) but not sure if I should post...

Have already ordered a 2008 Trout Lake with Front Extension

well the tentsandcamping website doesn't mention the new wolf lake 5 and wolf lake 7's...

I'll try to get some pics up in a sec

should i dare mention khyams to be SIG next year in the QE range

sorry ive said too much

If anyone wants to know what these are, just ask - I'll try to remember. I've cut the pics right down in size/quality too.

thanks, loved looking at those, reckon Outwell will have stiff competition, I for one am going to wait now to see these new tents for myself before buying for France next year. Is that last one (pic 1503) a QE with SIG??

Hi itguy,

so what is outwells secret accessory then?

Nor none of the other Outwell Gear, sure it will be all up on line shortly. Have heard about the Khyam to. Looks good but do not like Khyam's build quality personally even with the QE with SIG. Great pics Itguy, Thanks for the pic of my new Trout Lake and canopy. If the Trouts that good will get a Wolf lake to replace our Montana I think to. No mentions either of the new Ohio either on the web.

A kiddies bedroom pod with matching accessories, I have heard on other forums.

Pic 1479 - yep - sure is.

All of the tents in the photos i've posted are polycotton. The vango one is HUGE!

The new kyham with SIG as shown in the last picture didn't look like it had the plastic 'knuckle' assembly system that the other khyams do. Canvas was v. thick on it too - much more so than the Gelert and Vango ones.

I'd say that the canvas quality from my viewings yesterday goes...

(worst) > (best)

Vango > Gelert > Outwell > Robens > Kyham
