Hello everyone, I've seen the couple of posts regarding the halfords tent and a couple of peeps reckon they maybe Gelerts (in disguise). Can anyone confirm this and if not is there anything I can look for before buying to confirm this ??

cheers guys

Hi jaspr

My daughter works for halfords and there tent's are made by Gelert

Hi jaspr,

Halfords used to have Gelert tents in stock but they did change the model names. They were still branded as Gelert. Not sure if the own brand tents are made by Gelert, but they are probably made by one of the larger manufacturers for Halfords. I don't suppose Halfords suddenly set up their own operation of making tents.

Good luck

HH = Hydrostatic head simply means the amount of water force a tent can take before it leaks. So the higher the better, in theory.

Thanks Shelli

We bought the family deluxe package from halfords.  Having never camped before we spent  A while putting it up and to be honest I thought it looked the business, was really big and everything including lights sleeping bags etc compacted into the carry case. 

Fair enought the HH is low but we will probably be fair weather campers for the first while any way.  Starting to get a buzz about heading away now.

Ha ha my first ever post!!!!
