Citadel 5 Tent 9 Month All-Weather Trial
Placed in a field in the Peak District back in October 2011, the Citadel 5 Tent was pitched for an ‘all-weather trial,’ to see how it would cope with the harsh weather the exposed location threw at it. Find our more and watch the video

Watch the video and tell us what you think,
Would this test make you want one of these?
Can you see any flaws in the test?

Please share your views below.

Cheers Ratty

Wow, that is certainly shifting about around the 55sec mark!! In all honesty, I think I'd like to experience being in that..... but not on holiday, and certainly not in my own tent!! LOL!

The condensation-collecting lip seems a simple yet practical/obvious idea. Is this new?Do others use this idea? Not something I've heard mention of, in my extremely short camping career to date.

In such inexperienced eyes as mine, it seems as good a test as you can produce, although I'll be amazed if someone doesn't come along shortly to disprove that opinion!

Over to the experts...

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Everything has been said before, but since nobody ever listens we have to keep going back and saying it all over again and again and again

Wow, very impressive. If I'd been in it in those gale force winds I would have been abandoning tent because it looks for all the world as if it's about to blow away. Great recommendation.
