From what I have read (If I can find the link again I will post it here) a HH of 1000 is considered waterproof (800 by the MOD)and a HH of 2000 plus is going to take care of most European rain conditions in all seasons.

here it is:

so as far as that link is concerned 2000 is more than sufficient for anything we will get in these climes.

Thanks for the link i was chatting to a guy about the pamandi and he said the only thing that would worry him would be it being only 2000hh

Now i have camped out in it in the rain i can say my worries on this score have gone. there was also a reported problem with the door looseing rain in on these tents i just pitched a peg in the center of the dorr on the outside and hooked the inside elastic over it to keep the door tight and no problems not a drop of water was let in over night

We garden camped last night.  I needed to put the tent up to check it out as I had replaced some split poles.  My daughter and I were equally keen to do this.  My husband stayed indoors and didn't sleep very well.  Tough, should have camped out, it's much more healthy.

We had our Coleman Rock Springs and Vango Adventure Tarp up in my mother's garden a few weeks back when we had to break off from our camping holiday to look after her. Glad we had it with us - gave us a little privacy and added a little fun!!

Funny - but we had the wildlife closer than when we've been camping. We had a fox fight just outside one night! Woke us up with a start!!!!
