    Reviews are not good. Ok if there is zero wind by all accounts

    I may have said this before in this community, but I wouldn't touch Oztrail tents/gear. Cheapest quality for a mod range price (because they think they have a 'brand') and the most woeful (if not non existent) warranty service. From experience (multiple products) they refuse to accept simple summer use and pole breaks as grounds for faulty manufacturing.. best to either save your money and get pay the right price for the quality of product, or spend a bit more (Coleman/Blackwood, or higher) and get a better quality product. But, this is just my experience alone and I respect others may have completely different experiences, so YMMV of course..

    • ets27 on 16/01/2021 - 12:48

      Which one you recommend for 4 people? (2 plus some room) cheers

        Colesman 6P Gold

      • dBagDealer on 16/01/2021 - 16:41

        we had to wait over chrissy before ordering 6P Gold even though we are a family of 3. also the 6P seems like an ozbargain favorite. Much better than silver I reckon. We got it from Snowys for $388 after price matching from downundercamping. HTH

        • dBagDealer on 16/01/2021 - 20:57

          this is the anaconda exclusive silver series tent for $379 with dark room coating. do you really need a dark room tent?

          This is much better value imo with integrated lights and $10 less. plus this is the gold version with the additional vestibule at the front:

          https://www.downundercamping.com.au/coleman-instant-up-4p-li…

          I personally don't prefer a dark tent.

          • ets27 on 16/01/2021 - 21:09

            @dBagDealer: From my newbie point of view I thought it would be better to have a dark.
            I used to camp when I was 18yo and I remember how annoying it was to have a tent with light in the morning..

            why do you think it is a bad thing?

            • dBagDealer on 16/01/2021 - 23:03

              @ets27: well someone should have advised you about getting an eye mask back then. Get one now and you won’t have to worry about lights in the tent during the day in a dark tent.

              Various other reasons: tents usually get quite hot in the Sun and that the outdoors are best explored under the Sun etc etc.

              • ets27 on 16/01/2021 - 23:29

                @dBagDealer: Thqnks.

                Is there an equivalent of the above tents in non dark version?

                I use an eye mask, I thnk it's just psychological for me: if I wake up and see light, I don't feel like sleeping anymore

                • dBagDealer on 17/01/2021 - 11:31

                  get them to price match with downundercamping for $388 and free delivery if you want it.

                    @dBagDealer: Thanks mate. Will decide between the dark and not dark… ;)

                      @ets27: @ets27 - I have the Coleman Instant Up 10P Lighted Northstar Darkroom Tent and love the dark room feature. It is just personal preference. At this point in time I have young kids\baby so when they go to bed during DLS it is great, makes bedtime so much easier and when the sun does come up in the morning it doesn’t wake them up early either. In a few years, it could quite honestly be a redundant feature, but for now 2 thumbs up.

                      • ets27 on 18/01/2021 - 11:12

                        @HSV_GTS: thanks. Honestly for the way I sleep, I reckon that's a great feature.

      • jaimex2 on 18/01/2021 - 10:26

        Aldi instant up tents are awesome.

    • UberIsCool on 16/01/2021 - 13:05

      Oztrail gear is crap. They provide limited to no warranty. I had an expensive extreme sleeping bag I used for two weeks and packed away for a year. Dug it out to use again and every stitch came undone and the zipper wouldn’t work. Since it was in storage it didn’t fit under the year warranty but it wasn’t used more than two weeks.

    • photonbuddy on 16/01/2021 - 13:15

      pole breaks

      There's a difference between faulty manufacturing and under-spec'd manufacturing … is what they'd say!

      Sadly, with so many things, price is no guide to quality, and as you pointed out, when a business thinks they have some brand recognition, they think they can jack the prices.

      Of course, brand recognition only makes it easier for people to give targeted bad reviews, and others to avoid.

      I think this is one of the reasons that so much of the cheap Chinese stuff has no branding. It makes it harder to get brought down by bad reviews.

    • ShipShapeRC on 16/01/2021 - 15:22

      I have the same thing in the original coleman brand and it's quality has been great and survived big winds.

    • ets27 on 16/01/2021 - 20:16

      How about this one? Good price?
      Could anything be better?

    Been using this Kmart 8 person tent for sometime and is really good. In heavy rain and strong winds as well.

    • ShipShapeRC on 16/01/2021 - 15:23

      I've got a 20+ year old kmart cheapie 6P dome tent. Still goes strong. Cheap aint always bad.

      • kiLbiL on 16/01/2021 - 16:21

        Yeah I do definitely agree -cheap ain't always brand.

  • sillyhead on 16/01/2021 - 15:01

    I have one of these tents. It handles wind and rain well when pegged down properly. It is under 10kg which is light for the size. This light weight means that it is lightly built so care needs be taken and a tarp needs to be put down under it etc. I’m not sure I’d recommend it for anyone that goes away more than twice a year. It is big for the bucks though.

    The setup is four fibreglass poles set across the tent with the ropes at each end providing the strength and form of the tent. It is less complicated but requires someone with a appreciation of symmetry to put up correctly. Other cross pole or quick up tents have a fixed symmetry so are less sensitive to the skill of the pitcher.

    It is 6 camp tent at best so that needs to be appreciated. It is not as good as a $600-1000 tent and it’s is not very warm inside, pretty much summer only.

  • gomango on 16/01/2021 - 18:11

    My oztrail tent also has quality issues. We used it for the first time (in the rain) and thought it was great. After a few more uses rain water started to seep through the nylon/polyester fly (the outer layer) and drip into the tent wetting us and our sleeping bags! Not a good experience!

    • fritzsticker on 19/01/2021 - 16:59

      Can you use a gaffa tape?? For the seams

      Cheers
