Gelert seem to do 4 tunnel tents: the Status 3, Stratus 4, Lokon Vario 4 and Lokon Vario 5. All Gelerts say they're "weather checked" whatever that means. I've got a Straus 4 and it's OK apart from the fiddly poles.

All Gelert tents are called "Weather Checked". I have a Gelert Nakina Plus "Weather Checked" as my cheap tent that was so cheap it could go into the bin if need be. It is now my first choice bad weather tent as despite its mere 1500mm hydrostatic head it has never let a single drop of water through the flysheet in five years.
That is why I am so cynical when people come on here asking about hydrostatic heads.

Thanks
I'm hoping its a lokon vario 5 - we're having a go putting it up this aft, weather permitting, so fingers crossed. There's a £200 price tag from Winfields, so if it's all ok, I'm very happy with my £30 ebay bargain!

I've found the instructions (doh - sewn into the bag, of course!) and the drawing doesn't look like the lokon - I will report back tomorrow hopefully!
Thanks all for replying and helping out, much appreciated.
