We are thinking of buying the horizon 8 because of its sewn-in-groundsheet, but have read reviews which have mentioned that the end door can be draughty. Does this mean that the end door does not zip up leaving a gap for draughts and insects? Basically we would just like to know if the whole tent is fully enclosed from the outside elements. Thank you

It seems true , reading the reviews here that the end door just zips down both sides but not across the bottom . The bottom will most likely fasten up with toggles.

Lots of tents with sig have this style of door. It seems a bit pointless to me, having a sig that still lets a draught in .

This was one of the reasons I chose the outwell nevada xl when buying a tent of this style , fully sealed sig with no gaps . Theres one on ebay at the moment .
