Loved watching this review! It's nice to see a review that doesn't rattle off all of the marketing information they have but focuses on just a consumer perspective. Looking forward to seeing other videos with it!

[@muslimoutdoors]

Aw that's really kind of you to say. Glad you liked it ☺️ . I'll be sure to always make it more about the consumer's perspective. I'm not a fan of marketing babble either!
This was my first ever review video. I need to make more about some of my other kit. ⛺

Nice review from a newbie perspective. I actually ordered the same one this morning around half 1am lol and wondered if I would regret the decision. Nope…every review I have watched is Stella. What a great tent. This will replace my MSR hubba hubba NX I think 😁👌

[@muslimoutdoors]

Glad you liked the review 😁 . Have been on a fair few camps with it now and I love it!

[@pault5947]

Nice review, don't know how tall you are but the tent looks massive. subbed.

[@muslimoutdoors]

Thanks. I'm 5'8" and I have so much head room, especially when I'm nearer the trekking poles.

[@ventinals3440]

is the inner on the solid version really more effective at trapping heat and blocking wind in harsher conditions or would you say it’s generally the same thing as the full mesh inner

[@muslimoutdoors]

Don't know to be honest. I've only got the solid version so can't compare.

[@alternativemushroom]

Looks great, what was the total price including delivery + taxes to the UK?

[@muslimoutdoors]

The total cost was about £420

[@davefromdevon]

Hi, i'm going to be ordering the 2p soon and wondered how long it took from order to delivery please? Thanks

[@muslimoutdoors]

Hi there. To the UK it took just less than a week.

[@davefromdevon]

Thats great thanks!@@muslimoutdoors

[@gabrielcruz7820]

Would you be able to do a review when it rains ?

[@muslimoutdoors]

I live in the UK. I'm sure I will!

[@lucyluna3377]

Have you tried it in heavy rain?

[@muslimoutdoors]

Not yet, no. Only light rain so far.

[@lucyluna3377]

@@muslimoutdoors do you experience the condensation?

[@muslimoutdoors]

Yes. Unavoidable in most tents

[@SisterAbdullahX]

Too many cuts…

[@muslimoutdoors]

Thanks

[@pault5947]

Nah!
