I think the link picture was a preproduction model of the Salonga. The buzz has been correct-concentrating on smaller models , and overhauling the larger tents. Nice to see more junior polycotton tents -useful for any scout groups out there to name but a few .Looks like Coleman are making tents of more standard construction, should keep costs down. Looks like alloy steel poles are going to be more common place in medium and large tents-admission of pushing fibre glass too far ? Now, we have another month to wait and then the Outwell offerings will descend upon us .

The Nevis made its entry mid season this year. Seen the 800 and 600 in the flesh . Proves that Vango listens to what people want . It is a very attractive tent . Looking carefully at the Coleman range for next year, it appears that packages of canopy, carpet and footprint with the new Mackenzie 4 and 6 will be strong value . Can't wait for the prices to come out as I fancy a small polycotton for just myself and DS for Scout camps etc .

Ugh, that Salonga is a hideous colour on the correct picture..
Um - I like it ! Sure the OH will too. Happen to like khaki & any natural colours for tents especially. Can't stand ones which stand out like a sore thumb in a natural setting myself, different strokes I guess !
