Hi,we bought the Icarus 600 for £160 and also got the footprint to go with it. However we bought it on the way to the campsite and was a bit disappointed with all the frayed ends when we opened it and two dirty footprints inside it! Don't think we must have put it up very well tho as it didn't cope well with the wind today (sitting in it we thought we were going to take off).....so packed up, with great difficulty in the wind and came home. Also found the front door flapping really annoying....any ideas how to solve that?
The front door has a toggle in the middle, but other than that it's important to pitch bum into the wind and the door won't be so bad. It's necessary to have good ventilation in the tent and if the door was completely sealed the condensation would be bad, so it's better to just try and pitch with the door on the sheltered side.
Thanks Victoria, it was calm and sunny when we pitched so had no idea it would be such a problem we had cars on each side and a small hill behind us, looks like we got unlucky.
