8 Reviews of the Quick Pitch DS4

Smashing little tent, great for festivals where you don't have loads of gear. For two, it's pretty spacious, no way would I put four people in there. It has a decent head height, not too much bending required! It also has a hanging point for a lantern.The porch bits are good for boots, but not much else, maybe the cool bag. It's a shame they don't make this tent any more.

Good all-round tent, maybe a little on the small side as sold as a 4 berth tent. More really a 2 man. Lacks extra space for storage/cooking/dressing.
Stood up well to force ten gales on side of mountain and heavy rain. Did have issues with top sheet allowing wind through the mesh. But this can be rectified if you pin the sides down tight to the main body of the tent instead of out to the sides.
Can be a little awkward to get back in the back when you are done. Instructions are not particularly clear. But is a laugh trying to get it back in.
All in all a pretty good 2 man tent.

A good alround tent we use it for one/two nights because its quick and easy to put up and take down.
We have had the tent up in wind and rain and it copes fine.If I was to change anything it would be a bit bigger bag as when putting it away you need two ,one to hold and rotate the tent and the other rotating the bag.Overall this is a good tent and well worth the money.

Very good value for money. Certainly the best tent I've owned, for stability in wind and rain.
Erection - simple. Packing away not so. You need to practise at home and if possible study the video in detail.
If you erect and pack up in the rain the mesh panelling at the top of the inner tent allows rain to enter (No problem of course when the fly sheet is on)- I eventually overcame this problem by throwing a plastic sheet over the top.
The diameter of the material channel through which the fibre rods are passed, is too small to allow free access of the rods. The ferrules on the rods pucker the material, which is a bit frustrating (the insertion of a biro into the leading rod reduces the problem!)
Overall - an excellent tent for two or three campers (plus loads of space for gear)

Great little popup tent I bought at start of year for on 50 euros in halfords sale. Simple to put up,a little tricky to put down but gets easy after a few times after watching video on utube. Had survived heavy rain and strong winds next to the sea for 3 days and all stayed intact. Only 1 little problem I found was it had a large mesh inner on roof, you could feel the cool air blowing in through it at night from under the fly sheet. So great little tent with loads of room for 2 but could hold 4 but would be tight

The tent arrived by courier. A one metre blue disc. I was a bit shocked by its size. I would double check you vehicle dimensions before ordering this. The outer bag has velcro pockets for storage of tent pegs and poles.
My first attempt to erect was on my own in the privacy of the garden. Remove the outer sleeve and take out a few tents pegs. I did not do this. With the removal of one clip the tent pops out and is ready to be pegged. With no pegs to hand and the tent moving in the breeze it was a video moment. Had to put one foot on the tent and open the velcroed tent pouch which needs two hands.
Once pegged the fly sheet was easy to put over the tent. It took me 15 minutes on the first attempt, but you will easily reduce that time. There is enough room for two campbeds and gear. Ventilation is excellent by having a fly sheet which does not touch the tent.Also it quieter when it rained, and you stay bone dry.
Putting it down was a knack that even my 60 year old brain could cope with. Again this took 10 minutes max on my own. This is a great overnight tent when travelling through Europe. Buy and you wont be disappointed.

Great spacious tent, easy to pitch, and definitely wind and waterproof. My son and I had 2 large campbeds which fitted in no problem with room for bags, cooler and other stuff. The beds don't go near the edges so no risk of letting in water. Very airy and didn't get too hot. Only down side is putting it up in the rain, the inner has an open top so unless you are super quick, the inside of the tent gets wet when putting it up. Not a major problem if you take towels with you to mop up. When up, bone dry! Another down side is not much room between outer door and inner door to take off muddy boots, never the less, this is a good tent and well worth the money!

I absolutely adore this tent. Have just used it at Bestival on the Isle of White which had torrential rain on the friday - as much rain in one day as they usually have in a month.
This lovely tent not only stayed bone dry, it was still solidly up and in place after very windy weather and lots of people tripping over and pulling out some of the guy ropes.
My main reason for buying this tent was because of it's promise of excellent ventilation. In my old tiny little tent I found it unbearably hot and stuffy in the day time. This tent has many options for increasing / decreasing ventilation. On the days where it got warm I was very happy indeed not to be too hot.
The doors at either end make it very flexible for sleeping arrangements / varying weather conditions. The small porches at either end are good for muddy boots etc but little else. There is plenty of room inside for 3 people with ALOT of gear.
The pop up thing is great! And after watching the instruction video on how to pack it away, it was very easy indeed to put it away - I could easily do it on my own.
The only downside I can think of is having to be quick getting in and out when it's pouring with rain.
Overall I am delighted I plumped for this tent.
