Is that a hole directly into the body of the tent???

Or is it in the fly and then into the tent?

Wonder if the zips are double-ended to let you make a bit of an
awning? Wonder if the zip is "waterproof" - dun't look it

[TR] please - from the first person able to get into Argos and have a
look at it!! ;-)

I wondered (just judging from the photo) if it's a single-skin tent.

Looks like ventilation on the end/font of the tent. The hole could
therefore be directly into the body of the tent. This would improve
access as single upright poles can be a bit of a pain in this respect.

Weight is certainly very attractive - achieved through single-skin and
upright poles?

I wonder if walking poles could be used?

I think this is a play tent?!
Definately looks single skinned too.
I agree, can't see it catching on somehow...

And no porch to speak of.

TBH, neither can I. It's not a patch on its predecessor - at
least, not in that photo it's not.

Looks to me like a micro-thong instead of a flysheet.

I assume the space is on both sides to make the design symmetrical.

If so, I am not quite sure what function the fly sheet performs.
[Then again, I suppose the same applies to micro-thongs]

Looking at it again, it has the looks of a tarp tent; might be one for
our Merkin friends!

At 1.5kg it certainly has /something/ interesting about it

What! and have the tent trot off in the middle of the night?

looks to me like a singlewall tent from the picture.
zippered fly seems to open into the tent.

the fly at the front is peaked, wich looks very odd if it isnt a
singlewall tent.

also looks like its a two pole job, a straight up pole at each end and
its just guyed out to the sides.. well it certainly looks like there is
no hoop pole in the front common with the zoid knockoff designs...

basing on the sag in the fly and the guy rope running straight off the
front..

so who is gonna buy one to see?? 🙂
