Hi ryandbecs, the Utah looks like a good tent although I haven't seen it in real life. Just wanted to say welcome to UKCS!

We too are thinking of this same tent

I have been researching the net but i cannot find any reviews

I too would be interested in some feedback

I looked at this tent. I liked it but decided on the monty in the end because it was inner pitched first.  and it only had one large bedroom and i wanted two. I am glad i got the monty but did like the gelert it was very airy lots of flaps so to let in the breeze. I have seeen a couple in the flesh not sure if there wasn't one at Go great outdoors in Chester. I did see one at their exhibitions during the summer.

I found this. seems cheap

We have been in the utah it is a very dark tent inside dont recall any windows in it at all just two big square rooms if you havent actually seen one up I would try to before you buy one.

The Utah is almost identical to the Coleman Sahara 4/5, which was a super tent.

At £249.99 I would expect it to be monsoon proof.

This is the Gelert

This is the Sahara

Confused ?

I was thinking of buying the Utah 4+4. I know there is a skylight but am confused about any further windows. It is not clear from any of the photos on the web, I phoned Gelert.com and they said there are windows behind the door openings, however, several people on this forum say it is a dark tent with lack of windows.

If any owner of the Utah could give me the definitive answer, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks

Consider a Gelert Quebec? it is listed as a 8+4 but forget the four it really is a confortable 8 man tent in two big bedrooms. Its good value too and that has big skylights, so much so that during the day we close them to keep the sun/heat out and two large door entries with mesh and fully closing zips that we also keep open.  Have a look and see what you think.
