Are there any quick pitch tents that don't have an upward facing entrance?
I have noticed that the Gelert and the Outwell have openings which, if it's raining - and we've had rather a lot of that lately - let the rain in the moment they're unzipped.
WE were camping in the rain last weekend, our Oregon 5 was great, but our friend had real problems getting in and out of her Gelert without getting her sleeping bag wet. Apart from buying a separate canopy to protect the opening, is there a make that is better designed for wet weather use?

Hi
Quechua 2 second tents make a pop up with a porch area. They are quite expensive and only available from decathlon shops i think - but they have good reviews.

I watched the video of the Twister and although they show you, in great detail, putting it up, they show you very little of taking it down. The video skips to it already folded up and it being put back in its case. How easy is it?
