(major foot stomp!!!)

Just been to buy some pegs for our forthcoming weekend. Whilst there I had a quick look at the tents (as you do)..... and have fallen in love with the Outwell Haiwai Reef! Yes I know its a 5 man just like my Nevada M, but its orange, and gorgeous AND it smells like a proper tent! My mocca tent just looks drab in comparison....

Only problem is the orange would clash with the car.....

The pics dont do it justice, its actually a deep chocolate brown and orange (or topaz as outwell call it). Being inside it reminded me of sunlight through orange squash, it was actually really nice. The bedrooms were nice and dim, and I couldnt believe how much cooler canvas is once inside. As much as I liked the tent, I didnt like the matching accessories - they were just yuck!

My oh would love a focus st, however he wants the kawasaki green one, and that would go much better with the nevada ;o)

I quite fancied this colour too........then I went inside with OH and we both said Errrggghhh, not very restful, far too bright and enough to give you a migraine. Needs toning down for me.

Hasn't anyone stood inside one of these orange tents?  I have, and it's horrible!  My eyesight hasn't been the same since!

 We own this tent and love it. It was a windy, grey miserable day when we saw this one on display and once inside it felt like you had the sun with you, a defo feel good factor, great, as most of our weather seems to consist of many days that are grey and miserable!!! Our one concern was the fading of the orange but we were told it would take about 4 years to get to that stage as theirs had been on show for roughly 4 months. I think its about time some snazzy colours were introduced into camping, they did years ago. I agree with madamezsazsa on the blue colour, it makes me rather depressive. But each to their own, wouldn't do for us all to like the same!!
