Have used the tent once so far. I am sure after we have used it several times will be able to put up quickly. The book says you can do it in 5 mins- I think this would be very quick!. It took longer to get down as could not pull some of the locking joints part. That said you could put up/down on your own (handy when you have small children). Loads of space in side although sleeping compartment for 4 was cosy with 2 adults and 2 under 5. Had torrential rain on one night and some water drops on the seams but overall remained quite dry.

As previous owners of the Classic XXL we find the Chatsworth even better. For us the QE system wins hands down when arriving on a site and the SIG does not hamper either putting the tent up or folding it down.

Lots more windows than the Classic and the pale blue colour makes the interior brighter than the previous green range.Nice square living area, plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 children although the sleeping pod is a squeeze for 4, better for three.

We got ours for Ł315.00 not the recommended Ł469.00

One negative point. The storm flap on the outside of the side J door is sewn too closely to the zip, so a bit fiddly to zip up from inside the tent as you have to put your hand through to the outside to guide the zip and stop it catching.

Also I would have liked the J door at the back rather than the side as there is no rear entrance like on the Classic but would have to sacrifice a window to do this.

All in all a great tent if 2 people are available to erect and fold down - good in windy weather in my experience and ours has stood up to torrential rain for 6 hours and not a leak in sight

I recently had the misfortune to buy one of these tents. I have used mine twice and twice now we have had a serious failure of the tent.

The problems are 2-fold.

1) The tent locks into position quickly to then became a huge kite like structure which once pegged down buckles out of shape. OK there was a wind on both occasions but it was just that - 20mph winds, a speed that can be expereinced in any Summer. This buckled one arm on the first occasion and completely snapped 2 knuckle joints on the second expedition. This resulted in rendering the tent useless.

2) It was not completely waterproof around some seams. Whilst it's not a major failure I think I'd rather get a true 3000mm HH + tent rather than the weather weave system.

Altogether, an expensive waste of space, ill prepared for any season in the UK. A very disappointing experience.

Have recently bought this tent and we're very pleased with it. Although the recommended price is Ł469, we got it for Ł354. Easy to erect, and a novel feature in our experience, all parts will go back in the bag when you want to put it away.

Like most tents I guess, although a 4 person, we find it suits 3 nicely, 2 adults and our 8 year old child.
