9 Reviews of the Nemesis 8

By: Malakym Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2009 Rating: 9 from 10

I have owned this tent for many years now (10+) so its about time to review it.

Material is nice and much thicker than any higear you will find today. Similar to all its Vango and other big name counterparts.

Pitching is very easy and doable on your own, being able to tension the poles on the base after you connect them up is really helpful. Once done you only need 2 pegs to hold the whole thing up. Top tip: Don't try and pull poles out when packing away, push them out.

The door is really wide, and has no '5th' pole a lot of others have, but this has held up okay. Downsides is a slight drizzle you will need to close the door as there is a small piece of material.

Guy lines are thick and good quality.

The wide door means most porches from other brands won't fit. We have tried a few but they are only wide enough to span the poles on narrower doors.

Packing back into the bag is easy as the bag is a reasonable size.

Could do with tabs in the middle so you can tie a line across/hang items off.

Just wish we could find footprints or porches for this tent.

An excellent tent - well ventilated, some useful storage pouches in the main living area and the sewn in groundsheet keeps out the bugs and water. Very easy to pitch - I would recommend buying a footprint to mark out the area and peg the corners of the tent first and it will be up no time. Got it at a bargain price of Ł120 last year so I guess it's discontinued now so it's more difficult to find carpets or accessories now. Plenty of room for my family of 5 (we remove the detachable room dividers to leave 2 large sleeping areas) and has withstood all of the wind and rain that May has thrown at us this year. Delighted with the tent and will try the Vector canopy later in the year.

I bought this tent after I found my self on my own with 3 kids. It's a doddle to erect on your own and only takes about 20 mins. There is lots of room and it has lasted wind and lots of rain. The living space is great for 4 but now we are 6 it's not really big enough. (Although I have had 12 kids happily playing in the area for a couple of rainy hours). Plenty of storage and all in all a lovely tent, which I am happily selling on to my friend with a family of four.

I did a lot of research before buying this tent and was very much looking forward to going camping in it.

Unfortunately, when I received the tent, the elastic had snapped in one of the sets of poles. Gelert said they couldn't supply a replacement set of poles (?!). The retailer agreed to swap my pole bag, but unfortunately, the next set of poles I received were similarly broken. Now hoping for a refund.

The tent itself seems good, but clearly the build quality with Gelert is simply not up to scratch.

Great tent for a family of 5, the kids have a sleeping pod each with one left for us. Plenty of space, and so easy to pitch.Took us 20 mins, and we are not experienced campers at all.

Had high winds and heavy rain - tent stood up well.

Going to buy the Vector canopy and a carpet to complete the outfit!

Very pleased with it - a mesh door would have been nice, but not a huge issue.
