The after sales service at Tentastic has to be the best, after all, they've had more experience of complaints than most

This Rage tent, belonging to a freind,  was brand new out of the bag 24 hrs before i took these pictures

Had to reinforce the snapped poles and tape up the tears from the wind

Well I still love my rage tent!! 

Its great, has stood up to all the british weather can throw at it, is really quick and simple to put up and was cheap.

Its ideal for when I want to escape for a weekend on my own with my two nieces as there is NO WAY I could possibly put up the montaa on my own.

Any one would think that it was only Rage tents that had faults. If you search on this site you will find that other more expensive tents have leaking problems, poor qulaity finish etc. But hush my mouth - we're not supposed to say anything detrimental about these as they cost loads and therefore have to be good.

Most comments about rage tents are from people who have have not had first hand experience of them or perhaps know someone who didn't erect the tent correctly and suffered the consequences but would rather blame the manufacturer.

I think we're back to tent snobbery again.

our rage vardo has been excellent value for money, no leaks , stood up to the winds aswell, will be using it again next year ,  can not wait......

I'am the owner of the tent in the pics! it's a Hammer5 to be fair the weather that week-end was appalling and the site was exposed,it was blowing a full gale all week-end and with heavy rain. the tent didnt leak at all but yes it could not stand up to a force 8.

Yes the tent cost us little,but we only have the chance to use the tent at most for a week per season,so the cheap and cheerful option was the choice and that's exactly what you get. now the tent layout is great, and easy enough to erect with just the two of us.

tentastic replaced the tent (We live near to them and we made a visit to warehouse)

So it's not a tent I would recommend for the serious camper! but if like us for short stays or perhaps for those wanting to try camping and not wanting to pay to much before you commit then yes. we did get the chance to use it again this time although windy it stood up well. I'am happy enough with it. (was it due to not being erected right the first time?well lets just say I've done a bit before in Norway and other parts of the World under professional instruction!

and just for good measure and to provoke more comment! I bought a full set of delta pegs to steady the ship so to speak. TOP BIT OF KIT.
