After a few years of long service, my Outwell tent has finally given up the ghost! I have been looking at more Outwell tents and like the look of this:

Whitecove 6

Anyone have any experience of these - I also see they're on sale at the moment.

Thanks

Looks a nice tent and you can't go far wrong with Outwell but personally I would prefer a tent with metal poles as they are more stable.

They are new out this year so doubt if much experience out there yet. I saw one on display at GoOutdoors, and it did look rather nice

i was inside one tonight. i did think the walls felt like the curved in quite steeply making it harder to place things like tables etc so they dont touch the material.

i wasnt convinced to be honest by it. im sure for that sort of money theres perhaps a wide range of choices to consider, but that wouldnt be my personal pick.

again at end of day we all like different things so no single tent will appeal to all.

If you are interested in the Whitecove 6, you could get it from GoOutdoors with their price match on the site you linked to above... which would bring it down to £323.99 !!
I see your old tent was the Oregon 5, so you no doubt like Outwell tents. The Whitecove has the vertical front so will be better at keeping the rain out when you open the door than the Oregon

Oh just noticed that Go have 10% off which means it is the same price as the link above... maybe after May 6th when 10% has finished, the other site won't have put their price back up !!

Stop Press.... Taunton Leisure have it for £350, so a price match at Go will get it for £315.... quite a bargain I think
