9 Reviews of the Matrix X9

By: Little* + Mouse Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2009 Rating: 9 from 10

Key Points:

Good head height throughout.

Good living space throughout.

Nice and airy

Windows - avoid feeling cooped up.

1 issue very slight leakage when heavily rained*.

We brought the Matrix X9 as it at the time was the only FULL head height tent available in the UK, the Outwells at the time said they were FULL 6ft head height but this was not throughout, the sleeping compartments and outer edge sloped (worth viewing tents that claim to be Full head height before purchasing if this is important)

The Matrix X9 and X6 are Full 6ft head height throughout. Which is great if your tall and/or if you have disabilities.

It is a well laid out tent with the compartments square on so you can have a large middle area by removing the middle sleeping compartment if you need to which a large table can be placed in (we have had a long wallpaper pasting table in it and still had room). It also has good living space with all 3 bed compartments in even on rainy days, With a table chairs and Adults mulling around.

It takes 2 of us 1 hour to put it up as we are short I am 5ft 3 and my partner is 5ft 7 and this is a very large tent. But it is possible to put up with 2 people. All colour coordinated poles and sewn in instructions with Bag which is included (bag has handy wheels)

(You may be asking at such short heights why 6ft was important to us - well 1) we have tall Family & Friends and use this on group trips and 2) I have a medical condition and joint issues so like having the camping luxuries and a tent with space to accommodate them)

The sleeping compartment of which there are 3. Are Large.

We are able to fit a Double Height Colemans Queen size air bed + Feather King size duvet in the compartments and still have space either side of the bed.

We use the 3rd normally for storage of clothes and kitchen items. But if you had normal sized double airbeds there is amble space in the sleeping compartments.

The tent has a nice 'porch type' area which is good for taking shoes off before you enter and extra storage.

It has zipper bits for electrical hookup etc as well.

The main tent and the sleeping compartments have zipped up curtains allowing light to be let in on the rainier days but in general its a very nice light tent due to its light grey colour.

It also has zipperble air vents which are great on those rare UK sunny days.

* The only small issue we have with this tent is that it has leaked on us. But not much! and only in the main 4 corners. This has only happened in HEAVY non stop rain. The first time I sent the tent back (but was told it had not been weathered in as it was new?!) the 2nd time I gave up to be honest as we love the tent other wise and its no great deal its minor drips - BUT we are not sure if this is how we are putting it up as the poles are very close to the fabric and this could be causing a capillary action and slight dripage.

The sleeping area is very dry and cozy during the rain.
