Hello all,

Just wondered if anyone has the    Obelink Lissabon?

We are looking for a reasonably priced polycotton weekend tent (2 adults and 2 small children) and this seems to fit the bill.

Some pictures courtesy of Obelink:-









Anybody got one? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance..

TT

I haven't but I could be tempted at that price. Nice looking tent.

Looks like it's an old-fashioned, pitch-inner-first dome tent with front porch area (no SIG); assemble the fibreglass poles, clip up the inner tent, throw the flysheet over then assemble front porch poles (seems to work on tension only).

If you're not bothered about a SIG in the living/porch area, it might be a reasonable poly/cotton option. So long as it's not raining when you pitch. Still, at 26.7kgs and with maximum standing height at 205cms- in the very centre of the tent - give me a Cabanon Pacific any day (20kgs, cotton canvas, aluminium frame and small pack size). If you can find one, that is...

Okay then, I'll concede...at least this is a current model, and available. And not a bad price.

I do like the twin door arrangement in the bedroom inner. Do they have mesh on, do you know?

I'm not sure I'd like to trust the weight of polycotton to a fibreglass frame. Then again, Cabanon used to make something similar, years ago (Tango, with cotton canvas flysheet) and that worked okay. We had one, but found it more faffy to pitch than a small frame tent.

Actually, the Cabanon Tango was more like the Ibiza 3, which looks like a nice little overnighter. I like the fact that this small tent also has the twin doors in the inner and a rear entrance, so excellent ventilation presumably.And weighs in at only 9.9kg.

I might just be having to purchase one of those as a pup tent for visitors when we go to France, so thanks for this thread TT!

Glad to be of assistance 😀

I have to say you have made me think twice due to weight/fibre glass poles plus pitching inner first.
I can remember in 2009 hovering over a Trout Lake 4 for £399 in the sales....why I didn't buy it I'll never know as that is the perfect weekend tent in my mind.
Still never mind, half the fun is in the looking.
