Nubian, i dont base mine on ignorance, iv examined one in the flesh, and while i couldnt see anything actually wrong with it, or broken, it was cheap shoddy rubbish. Thin material, poorly stitched and taped, and flimsy poles. Not a patch on my others, and yes i know Outwell etc have had issues recently, but the overall quality is far superior. I defy anyone to have a close look at the materials used alongside an Outwell Vango etc and honestly say they are just as good.

But hey, at the end of the day, each to their own, iv camped in cheapo tents when i started out, i just wouldnt go back to them now.

Yes Tent snobery probably does exist, but so what, why do some people seem to get so worked up about it. We don't primarily go camping to make friends with the campers next door, if we do it's a bonus, if not then we're no worst off.

It's simply a matter of numbers. Camping has become very popular, so therefore the more people who go, the more chance you have of meeting the so called "Snobs". Camping is a victim of it's own success.

Can't stand snobs (,or inverted snobs for that matter !).

Though I agree with a few of the postings here, the old adage must surely be: "you can't judge a book by it's cover" (,or a person by their tent !).
