Hiya,

I must have missed the poles breaking messages! I've never seen any regarding the Monty's.

We're like yourselves. 4 of us including 2 5yr olds and have a monty 4. We've used it in strong winds and the tent is as solid as a rock. I highly recommend it.

Have you been to a camping store and seen any erected? They're very impressive.

We got the Monty at the beginning of the year, also have 2 small children . We use to have a dome tent and then decided we needed to upgrade. Got sick of having to get up at the crack of dawn to entertain the kids as there was no space inside our old tent. However the Montana 6 is perfect for those that have small kids, loads of room for them to play inside, whilst you wake up. If the weather is bad then the SIG keeps you warm and dry. We have used our tent in all weather and it has been great each time. We love it. Also have the front canopy and have had no problems with poles.

HI there,

There was a bit of an issue earlier last year with the 2005 Montanas, with a few people experiencing problems with the poles splitting. Outwell were very quick to respond and replaced the whole set for everyone who contacted them, as far as I know. I never had any problems with mine but still had my poles replaced, free of charge - excellent customer service IMO :-) I haven't heard of any such issues with this year's model. By the way I have the Montana 6, and both canopies; the front one is great, although I never got on very well with the side one and only used it once :-/  most people seem to love it though so it must be just me!

Another vote for the monty...i absolutely love it...for all of the reasons mentioned previously

oh and it's got it's own little tent tidy with lots of handy pockets...did anyone mention that?...oh and no bugs..none...not even in a weeks worth of camping...oh and a zip for your ehu (if you have one) and  excellent vents and  a little window which you can unzip from the bedroom and check what the weather is like without getting out of your sleeping bag.... <<babbles on and on deliriously>>

sounds great how long do you think to put up even with eager 4 year old wanting to help?

Another vote here and from a newbie

Not camped in it yet as we've still got a few things to get, but it's up in OH's sisters back garden being tested to the full with this weather today.

Absolutely love the tent and can't wait to go camping in it later this year.
