we have one,camped at the end of June in it. we had a heavy overnight thunder storm on our last night all we got was a slight drip from the overhead skylights top seam,soon cured by a little seam sealer. (eh some Outwells leak so very happy with this tent) the HH is 4000.

Thanks tha makes me feel a bit better - I think I'll give it a go. I'm not too worried about longterm problems with the zips - if the family weekend goes ok (ie convice my husband its fun!) then we will look at other tents for next year, Meanwhile perhaps i should take some seam sealant with me next week?

if you are not 100% sure about the aldi tent just return it for a no quible refund,we returned our son last year from aldi, the reason was the sewing on the zip was comming away,but the tent was fine for the 14 nights he used it in cornwall.

Can everyone return their kids to aldi. and what sort of refund did you get for him

Hi all.

 I decided to give up on all these extremely heavy,awkward and expensive tents and go for a cheap and cheerful Aldi tent, Its very similar to the vango aspen, its been up in the garden for over 2 weeks in gail force winds and heavy rain and it never leaked once, its 500mm waterproofing when some of the more superior tents are only 300mm. the only thing that annoyed me was that I paid £79 for it and less than a week later it was reduced to £59, and could I find the reciept anywhere.

some people got a very good sized managible tent for very little money..

The real test will be when we go on our 10 day camping trip at the weekend.
