I recently purchased this a monty 6. We put it up in the garden and it had a rip in it, got a replacemnet put it up and it leaked big time, took it down and couldn,t get the poles upart. E.Mailed Outwell no response, sent it back today for a refund !!!! Any one else had the same probs, what tent should i buy know

HI jackyboy,

don`t give up on your Monty 6 yet. It`s a good tent and well worth perservering with. We had our XXL replaced twice before we got a perfect one, the first had a minor fault, the second leaked. We wouldn`t be without our XXL for anything.

Our Monty 6 has been brilliant but not tried it in the rain yet. If it does leak we will be in touch with Outwell and will perservere with it until we get a perfect one as it`s such a good tent.

Contact Outwell again and tell them you want a replacement, you are entitled to one and I believe their customer service is usually excellent.

We had an Outwell a few years back, it was a good tent.  Sold it to a mate who still uses it.

Only problem she had was in storms in Cornwall and the porch/ door poles were damaged but there were spare poles in our kit - so no real problem.

Just a vote here for the Monty

I have absolutely no problems and it has been up this year is some big storms (more than any other tent i have had). Not a leak, not a fault. Superb.

We've just come back from a week in the Lakes followed by a week in Dorset with our Monty 6.

We had heavy winds and rain but the tent coped fine, not a drop of water inside but then I was careful to close the doors and windows properly.

The poles can be a pain I agree, they tend to jam together but a couple of gentle taps on the ground seems to free them ok.

Sorry to hear you didn't get on with yours, we wouldn't be without ours !
