Any views on the Gelert Alaska Tents.

 

We are thinking of purchasing one and was wondering about the quality etc.

I don't have the Alaska, but I do have a Gelert tent that we use for backpacking.  It has been fantastic.

Thank you all for your prompt replys.  It is really appreciated.  This buying a family tent lark is a night mare there is so much to choose from and then you are unsure about the makes etc.

I have a Gelert as my weekend tent....I prefer it to the Vango in many respects. The only thing I didn`r like about it when I bought it was the pegs...the pegs had the L-shaped profile top. I changed them for crook-top pegs as I think they`re more secure. Apart from that one cheap modification, it was a great buy. I`d definatley buy another Gelert.

I have the skydome 6 (see images)    a huge family tent,  well put together tons of space    if the door was wide enough you could get a car in.    I replaced all my main guy line pegs with Delta's   and boy was i pleased having suffered gale force winds last Oct..... the tent held the wind and the rain. An all round well built tent, and at affordable prices

I used to have a Gelert. Loved it but got a bigger one in the end, not Gelert. My son still has a Gelert though, he loves his too.

If it's a Gelert why do you need to ask?

But then again everyone will tell you that their tent is the best thing since sliced bread. Horses for courses I suppose.

We have the Gelert LV6 and after using it for nearly two years and about 25 camping trips we are well pleased. Only improvement needed, and made, was the purchase of a front canopy.

Had a Gelert Sat. 6 wish we still had it, but I suppose it was to big for just the two of us now. Thought it was really good dome tent

I had a Gelert Colorado.  My only complaint was the zip of the inner. Only used it twice and the zip broke.  I emailed Gelert twice but never had a reply.  Having said that the tent withstood torrential rain that lasted several days and not one drop of water came into the tent.  Perhaps I was just unlucky because a lot of members of this site speak highly of the Gelert tents.
