We replaced a Vango Diablo 600xp with one of the Montana 6's complete with the extension and after spending last week in it I can definitely say it is the best tent I have ever used. Putting it up is simple, though in strong winds it can be quite tricky, 2 pairs of hands are a minimum! but once up it really is the next best thing to home you can get. The windows are superbly thought out, you have curtains, mosquito nets and the option to roll up the windows to let the air in, which is invaluable when returning from a day out to a very hot tent. The extension provides a very good amount of covered space too, which we used for the kitchen and for chilling out at night, besides which it means you can sit outside even if its raining. My only criticism is of the side porch, which other than for storing wet boots is too small to be of any use really.
Overall this tent is absolutely fantastic, its not cheap though, for the tent and extension it cost us £429, but its most certainly money well spent and we hope to get many years out of it.

Just returned from 1st trip with our new Monty 6 what a tent have to agree with all the reviews here on how fantastic it is. Having upgraded from a smaller tent found putting up and packing away very easy taking less time so more time to chill. The SIG makes living in the tent great being free from draughts and the window and doors are very versatile being able to open them and have the fly screen still shut to stop the bugs, speaking of the windows the tent feels very airey with all the curtains open and the front door gives you a feeling that you are sat outside. Can't recommend this tent enough can't wait to get out in it again.

Our Monty 6 is in its 3rd year now and is fab. We are a family of 4 with 2 young children and it is just a brilliant tent. We originally had the canopy and have now upgraded to the front extension - would highly recommend. Unfortunately on its last outing the canopy poles gave way to some severe B/H winds and snapped, shredding the canopy at the same time. It has taken a battering - winds, rain - we mostly camp in North Yorks and Lakes so need a tent that can withstand the weather - this can!
We bought a carpet for it last year and it is brilliant, takes the chill off the ground and with young kids means you can happily play on the floor.
Some of the elastic ties on the bedrooms are coming away and the spring loading on poles are failing - both are easily sorted and also easily lived with.
Packing it is easy once you get the knack - we have created the rolling on the tent game to squeeze the air out with our kids.
We put it up in torrential rain this weekend - not a problem, tent up in 20 mins - kids inside and once we had all the guys pegged out we all were dry inside.
Thoroughly recommend this tent after 2 years of considerable use I wouldn't change it for anything else.

This is the best tent we have bought by far. The sewn in groundsheet is great, an end to rain trickling in and the odd breeze. The windows are great for letting in so much extra light and the option of just leaving the insect nets down if you want to let some fresh air in is great too. I also like the way the bedrooms can be made into one large sleeping area as having two little ones means we all sleep together and have a good nights sleep. The porch area is a good idea especially when raining as you get to leave your messy shoes in that area before going into the main living area where we have the outwell carpet which fits perfectly and makes the living area more snug and cosy. It took us slightly longer than expected to pitch this but I'm sure with plenty of practice we'll get much quicker. There are also lots of extra you can add onto this tent such as a carpet, extension, canopy, kids bedrooms, which means it can grow with your family's needs too.

We bought the Montana 6 and returned to camping after 15 years. The tent is easy to pitch in mild weather, but our outing in late May, we found that in strong wind, you need more than 2 pairs of hands to hold the intial poles up whilst putting the guy ropes in. The rest of the tent went up easy after that. After a few attempts, we did get the hang of packing the tent away in the bag it came from - the video definitely helped! Whilst it is a tight squeeze to get it back in the bag it came out of, once in it does take up less storeage space.
The tent was excellent in strong winds and heavy rain - not one ounce of rain came in or damage done - unlike some other tents on the site! The rain porch was hand and enabled us to leave wellies outside the main living area. One small grip is the zips on the rain porch seem to snag very easily.
We are looking forward to more camping trips this year and whilst wish for the sun and outdoor living, we would not have any worries if the weather turned against us again.

We have just bought our monty 6 and used it for the first time this month. It is easy to put up and has full head height throughout. The bedrooms can be unzipped to form one very large bedroom. As we have two small children this option was very handy for us.
There is plenty of room inside the tent to sit around a table and eat, play games etc. The handy cable inlet point means it is easy for EHU too. There are small zipped arches in the bottom of each of the bedrooms which means you can feed electrical items such as lights into the bedrooms. My husband has a cpap breathing machine so this was really useful as it meant he zip up the bedroom door and still have the power supply in the bedroom.
We also bought the monty 6 extension which is worth its weight in gold. It meant we could sit outside even if it was raining and it was great to cook outside but still stay dry.
The SIG makes such a difference to the warmth of the tent. There were no drafts at all and once our gas light was on in the evenings it heated up really nicely.
Outwell provide useful storage pockets in the middle of the tent and also three in each of the bedrooms for putting in your torch, mobile phone etc.
The first time we put the tent up we have awful problems getting it back in the bag. Since we watched the utube video from yeoman's outdoors we have had not trouble at all!
The side porch is really good place for a porta potti as it is completely closed off from the rest of the tent. I would also recommend the footprint groundsheet as it keeps the bottom of the tent clean as well as adding a bit more insulation.

Used Montana 6 for the first time Easter W/E in Mid Wales -Sleet Snow Gales Rain. Tent withstood everything the weather chucked at it.
Spent 8 nights in Dorset in May. Two over 50's pitched the tent very slowly but to get the tent back in the bag - we open all doors, lay the tent flat then fold the tent lengthways about 12/15 inches continue folding across the width - then start rolling the tent from the back of the tent to the front squashing out any air on the way tie the bands around the tent and lift it into the bag - use the clip straps and zip the bag up. We find the tent spacious - Keep Bedroom snug with thick (Laminate underlay under our mattress for warmth, in 2nd. Bedroom use for storage Ikea hanging rail with tie on shelves to keep our clothes etc. Can't wait for our next outing - trying Cornwall next.

My Montana has been terrific value for money. We went away to Devon for half term. Fortunately we had a sheltered site so the gales weren't an issue for us, but last Thursday the heavens opened and old Monty got truly tested. Have to say she stood the test. We quite literally ended up being pitched in a small pond, and despite a waterbed effect on the groundsheet, we remained warm and dry inside.
The stitched in groundsheet is superb, keeping out all water and wind, and there's heaps of space to sit inside during those typical British bank holidays!
We bought two canopies for ours which effectively gives us an integrated gazebo. We've attracted many stares at times, but it comes into it's own on longer family holidays, especially for outdoor living in France. More recently Outwell have introduced extensions for the Monty6 and these are great as they reach to the floor which our canopies don't (we velcroed some old gazebo side panels to ours! - not very glamorous but it does the job in poor weather).
Many of the adjustments we made with ours seem to be standard or optional extras which means Outwell must be listening to feedback and acting upon it which is good to know.
The Montana 6 now has an electric cable point and wall to wall carpets are also available (we've been using plastic-backed picnic mats). Seems a bit of a luxury at first, but with such a large floor area, in early/late season, the ground sheet can be a bit chilly. We use a fan heater and our tent is very warm and dry.
Some of the elastic fasteners for our sleeping compartments have come away, so they drape low in a couple of places, but even this has been improved with the newer model and storage pockets are now also included which is great for the kids' toys or for somewhere to store all the shoes.
We all think Outwell tents are great value for money and the Montana 6 is certainly worth serious consideration.

This tent quite simply saved my love of camping. I was starting to feel the cold too much in our last tent, but the Monty 6 is extremely snug with its SIG, especially with the whole family tucked inside playing games of an evening. It has survived gale force storms on the hillsides of Wales with nary a leak or bent pole; it takes us 25 minutes to put up; it is spacious and airy, provided as it with ample windows and doors, and in summary is the perfect family tent. We wouldn't swap it for anything!

We had a Monty 6 for the first time in 2006, we absolutely loved it until we got caught in the BH rain and it leaked like a sieve. There was a few problems with this particular years model, however, the dealer was fantastic and exchanged it no quibble for a 2007 model. This tent is fantastic, the design allows for maximum usage of the whole tent, especially if used with the front extension which is great too. It has withstood lots of rain and windy weather no probs. Until we pitched up this BH in North Devon. The tent stood proud and strong for 2 nights of gales and rain, with only slight trickles of leaks, but nothing to worry about. Our beloved Monty unfortunately gave into the elements on BH Monday when the wind became too much and the front extension poles caved in and twisted the main poles on the left side of the tent. End of holiday for us and R.I.P Monty! But honestly what a fabulous tent. If you like roomy, airy, practical and safe tents then this is the one for you. I reckon this tent is well on it's way to becoming an icon of the 00's!
