Hi Trickey tree. That's a great looking tent. We are looking to get the palomas 6 when the money allows. But the Alaska is interesting me as well now. Geoff

Does anyone know if either tent has mesh on the front door?

I bought the Alaska as I love Pyramids (and after losing my 5M in the storm in Oct needed a new tent) but found the pegging on the Palamos to be a massive pain so sold that last year. I haven't had chance to try the Alaska yet so your pics will keep me going, thank you.

Geoffprinter if I'm honest, I'd been waiting for Obelink to stock the Alaska since I saw it in their magazine last year (they'd called it the Classic in the mag). I've bought 3 tents from Obelink and the quality and customer service has been great ( they arranged for a return on an Esvo I bought as it wasn't what I'd thought). I loved the Palamos but the pegging out was just too much.
Unfortunately my garden is too small to pitch it but we'll be testing it Feb half term somewhere, failing that we'll be in Kent for Easter.

That's a great looking tent, nice to have the vents at the back as well, I bought my friend Bills tent the Guadoloupe, but it doesn't have vents and my Noumea was a bit stuffy in warm weather.
I'm thinking off having some put in, but will have to find out the price first.
Enjoy your new tents.

Hi Emma,
According to the spec sheets, the Alaska weighs 32.7kg (+ 10.6 for the separate pole bag).
By comparison, The Palamos 6 weighs 22.6kg (+ same again for the frame).
