I've just bought a tents from Argos, it was half price (Cat No 340/9770). Having rushed home to practice putting it up, I just happened to read the instructions.
It said that the tent was shower proof and not water proof. It has a Hydrostatic Head value of 1200mm.
Is this adequate, or shoould I take it back and look for something with a higher HH rating?? If so what should I aim for??
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Chris

I made the same "mistake" at the beginning of the week (see my thread on 23.06.08). All I can say is thank god for this forum board! When I contacted Argos about the inaccurate HH figure I realised I was making the wrong decision in going for such a bargain. The following day I took it back for a full refund. I'm now the proud owner of a Lichfield Arapaho 6DLX.
Shame nothing can be done with Argos to stop this from happening to other people.
