Have to say the only Hi-gear tents I like are the Corado's because they are green and steel poles. but thats just my opinion.

I'm another happy Hi Gear camper.
Admittedly I only use the Zenobia 6 once a year (this year it will be used twice), but we love it.
Have had the windows open and the 2 doors and never had any light issues with it.
It's a brilliant tent for the money and an absolute steal at £149.
Not had any quality problems with it either.

It was with the doors closed and the windows open as you would have if it was raining that I remarked the Zenobia was very dark inside

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

There's a Market for Hi Gear because like everything else in life, cost is a massive issue.

I have three kids - 9, 7 and 3. With a 3 year old I certainly wasn't going to spend the best part of £1000 on a tent when one rip can render it useless. We got the Kali 10, porch, carpet and footprint last year for £300. That's a bargain, even if the quality is slightly inferior to other brands.

I can see the points arsenalses is making and they are valid points. But it all depends on budget and risk.
