 I'm finally renewing my tent situation this year and cant decide between a Hi Gear Rock 4 and Gelert Atlantis 4,both seem to tick all the boxes for me. I've read all the reviews but any input on the pros and cons of either will be appreciated .

 

Cheers Ian

I think they are basically the same tent especially as Gelert made the hi-gear tents too, so go for which ever one you can get the best deal on

I did consider the Gelert 4 and I really liked it, but have decided to go for the Quechua base seconds 4.2.  Not bought it yet, but hoping to soon

 i did consider one of those.. The pop up idea really applies to me as but the sleeping compartments look a little cramped.. not sure if you can get a double air bed in...

I thought the same and went to see it last week, the double air bed goes in one of the bedrooms but not the other.  I usually camp on my own so I'm using the smaller bedroom to store bags etc - not much room left after the airbed goes in.  Ideal for me but can't see it being good for 4 people as sold.

Sorry, but saw the title and was reminded of the old pop song 'Torn between two lovers...feeling like a fool, loving both of them is breaking all the rules'

But it is very hard. Have fun choosing!
