I'm thinking of getting myself a Regatta Kolima 2 inflatable tent.
It looks to be exactly what I need. It's light (5kg or 7.5kg including the pump) and has a porch with good head height. I have found one online which is affordable BUT I can't find any reviews for it anywhere! Am I missing something? I'm worried I'm buying a dud 😅
Does anyone have any experience with this brand at all please?
Thanks in advance!

If you widen your scope a little to include the same style tent in the alternative berth sizes, you will find a fair few reviews, and they are generally very favourable ones. A larger or smaller berth version review gives you good insight into the general design, fabrics used and construction quality. The practicalities of your chosen berth are perhaps obviously down to reviews of that specific tent, but I still found some.

Try Googling "Regatta Kolima 2 inflatable tent review"

Regatta as a brand are well established in outdoor clothing for over 40 years, and by some of us who are not brand snobs (my ex was, paid dearly for some hi-end brands, yet my 'cheap' Regattas outperformed time and time again in our shared experiences!!!!), quite highly regarded, only chatting with a mate this week who rated their workwear as some of the best available! I've a number of jackets and fleeces that have served well and lasted well beyond what might be expected, some look pretty worn and scruffy but have retained their waterproof qualities! They are one of the few remaining autonomous brands, most familiar brands you will find are now only house brands of Go-Outdoors/Millets/Blacks group! They are fairly late comers to supplying tents, but if their previous company standards are carried over, then they should be reasonably good at the price point.

Thank you! I've only just seen your replies so apologies for the delay. I am still looking, but this tent is definitely my favourite so far 😊

Great clothes but the tents are at the budget end with cheaper fittings. I couldn't find any reviews either.
If you like the look of the tent then go and see it pitched in a shop. Feel the materiall look at the stitching and go with your gut feeling.
I'm no snob but I do think it is overpriced for a 2 person tent, even an air poled one. Those yellow guy lines are a trigger for me as well. I'd also question if a 2 man really benefits from being air poled. You could pick up a vango galaxy for less money and weight.
At the end of the day, it is up to what you want. The specs say it should keep you dry so see one in the flesh and if you like it, get it.
