Review: Quality kit! - Looks so well made! Looking forward to lots of use. Edit- June 2025, so about 6 years of regular use i.e. 300 nights out! Very good kit, reliable and no broken poles so far. Light enough to carry on a bike too.
Review: Usage. - A brand passing budget gear limits but can be found in places for very reasonable cost… for me its designed to be a lower height of a dome tent but have the profile length of the lower subtle low ground tents.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this big enough for two plus big multiday backpacks?**
A: Yes. Plenty of room inside for two people plus other small items that can be put in the pockets. The side door area is where you put your shoes and bag, you can grab things out your bag whenever you need. My girlfriend and i have been walking the Te Araroa trail in New Zealand for one and a half months, I have no complaints so far and many of the hikers use this tent (Elixir) + (Hubba)

Hope that helps

**Q: Is the one size good for two people? The 2 person is out of stock**
A: No it would be far too snug even if it was your honeymoon

**Q: How many thousand mm is it?**
A: I’ve not got any idea how many thousand mm it is but it always keeps me dry and I wild camp in the Lakes.

**Q: Is the footprint (ground sheet) included in the green one or just the grey one?**
A: Footprint in mine is grey.
