Just bought this tent from Millets. Ordered it and it's on it's way.

Eurohike Flash 3

Bought the flash 2 last year and it's a bit small and so we only used it once in dry weather. Thought this might be better. I know there are pop up tents with better reputations like quecha etc (which I can only get from overpriced ebay), but this stands at 120cm high whereas the others seem to be about 100cm high. There are no measurements on the Millet site but I nearly bought it last year and remember that bit!

Anyway what I need to know is whether anyone has any experience of this tent...are they fairly robust and do I need to waterproof it? I plan to use it to camping in September, but it says on the site that it's best for use in spring/summer.

Any help appreciated

Hi Shelli.

Thanks so much for that. I looked and looked but couldn't find anything on here. (Was looking in the forums though).

Glad the reviewer mentioned the headroom part, that was the main thing for me. Never been into these tents that you crawl into and sleep!

Very reassured.

Thanks again

Sylvia5

It arrived yesterday and I put it up in our sitting room...which is quite large thankfully. This tent is really good. My daughter ran in and said "Wow I can stand up in it!!" (She's only 120cm high, same as the tent).

Feels really spacious. Only took about 10 seconds to put back down and fits easily back into the bag. Bag itself is quite large, a 96cm diamter circle about 6cm thick, but I knew that before I bought it. It's what stopped me buying it last year.

Next aim is to get a couple of fat airics to make full use of the height!!

Thanks for that.

I wasn't looking forward to having to waterproof it so that's reassuring!!

I got mine from Millets.

It's cheaper than what I paid at the moment at £44.99. Think I paid £49.99
