We Have just returned from camping in the lake district and we had a problem with the outwell tent.When pitched we noticed a sizeable gap along the side of the tent sleeping at night was very cold due to this gap this is the only thing that lets this tent down.Has any body come across this if so please let me know. Thank you.

Do you mean round the pods where there are no mudflaps? We have the oregon 5 and were nice and warm at the end of May, but if it is windy I imagine the drafts would get in round the back. We really bought ours as a weekend and sumer tent and wanted the ventilation that it would give. Maybe you need a tent with a SIG?

Hi Purplebean,
             Thank you for your reply. The problem is round the pods yes. Is there some way of adressing this or is it part of the tents manufacture any help greatly appreciated thank you. PS what is a sig?

SIG - sewn in groundsheet, it is sewn in round the entire tent so no drafts at all. I guess it might be possible to sew mudflaps to the bit round the pods and then peg them out, not really sure. We wanted the drafts for summer use so it doesn't bother us.

Hi

Bought an Oregon 3 two years ago to use for quick weekends/couple of days away. Didn't really notice the wind blowing through the gaps till this Easter when at Hayfield, when the weather at night was windy, wet and cold!! And yes it has made me think about replacing the tent with one with a full sewn in groundsheet. We benefit from one of these in our larger family tent and I have to say SIG does make a difference in the bad weather.

Problem is finding a small tent for weekend use with sig that is easy to pitch and pack away on my own, as niether my kids or my dog tend to help! All I've found at the moment is the Sunncamp evolution 300, although would like to see a Gelert Twister 3. Failing that I had thought of sewing on my own valence but that's a bit of a hassle, never mind a real test of my sewing abilities!!

I think i will post the question on hear to see if there are any such companys.Also this is why we bought this tent for weekend walking in the hills after walking in the hills you dont want to return to a cold night under canvas. Once again thank you and happy camping.
