Need to buy a tent

    I've just been out to measure the box that it comes in and it's 72cmx25cmx25cm obviously the tent in it's bag is slightly smaller than this. I pulled it out and had a look at the bag that it's in and it has two canvas type handles to carry it by. I use a tent that is larger than this one and do not have a problem carrying it and I'm about as unfit as you can get!

    Also to be honest carrying it when you get to the festival camping isn't ever too bad as you're excited about being there, it's packing up and carrying it back to the car when you know you're heading back to reality that's hideous!

    I tried to search for a review of the tent on the net but can't find one anywhere.

    It's got 1500mm hydrostatic head - I don't understand what that is all about so tiff should probably advsie on whether that's enough or not.

    The easy camp website doesn't appear to have any more information than the CCCoutdoors one.

    I can thoroughly recommend CCCOutdoors.
    I bough some tents from them last year and they arrived well packed and within a few days.
    All are new tents not second-hand - they just seem to do some great bargains now and again so the Easy Camp Riva seems a great buy.

    I recently was in a camping shop and the material of the North face tents was nice, and so was the Vango. I could not decide which to buy as I was "felling two tents"
