I have the 2010 Icarus and was thinking about getting the 2011 front canopy but unfortunately the colours have changed, I did not realise this went I ordered my tent a few months ago :(

I have the laurel colour.  Does anyone have the 2011 canopy with the 2010 tent?  If so, which colour do you think looks better - moss or surf?

Juat a guess but I would have thought the moss would go better it will only be a few shades lighter or darker than the laurel where as surf would be a blue colour

hope this helps x

I would go for the moss colour, there was a previous post about this when someone put a moss canopy on a laurel tent and they were happy with the way the two colours looked together

Well, I bought the Moss one today from my local Yeomans.  £79.99.  Looking forward to trying it out this weekend and hopefully the colours will look ok, but if they clash that will be too bad lol as long as it does the job I am happy.  Will post pictures when I get back so people can have a look at the colour combination if they are interested.

It looks fine to me as well. It's interesting to see the actual difference after all the speculation. The new colour is definately a warmer tone isn't it?
