Info
With large living /storage and sleeping areas, the
Hi Gear Atakama 5 is ideal for families having a long weekend away, or any groups of campers who may need space to store gear and spread around.
It is a double skin tent, with the
outer pitched first to keep things simple, and a breathable inner to keep you comfortable.
The outer flysheet is 190T PU coated polyester with taped seams and a
hydrostatic head of 3000, meaning it's rugged enough to handle scrapes and waterproof enough to take the heaviest downpours.
For warmer conditions, the
breathable inner and large side and front doors will make sure the inside is ventilated enough so you and your kit are not overheating.
The front door
can be extended out as a canopy using the steel porch poles, offering shelter from sun or showers.
The porch/living area has a pre-attached groundsheet, making it easy for you to keep a clear, clean space for furniture, bikes etc., and keeping the bedroom area draught-free.
For extra stability, the tent has
pre-attached double guylines, so it will easily withstand any strong gusts of wind.
The guylines themselves are bright and reflective, to help you to find the tent in the dark, and to stop other campers from tripping over them if you're in a busy campsite.
Other useful features include slick pole sleeves to aid pitching,
fire-retardant fabrics, and large windows to allow maximum light in if you need it.

Great value but poor performance, 27 February 2010
By KellyB (Durham)
We bought this tent last year and have been away in it 3 times. The first time the bedroom ripped, and we had a flood when it decided to pour down, the 2nd time some of the guys ripped off and the 3rd time it ripped along one of the seams. It's not all bad though, it's quite easy to put up and there is plenty of room in the bedroom. We had a gale the 3rd time we went away and the tent did not budge. I wouldn't recommend it though as I was very disappointed with the seams etc, we've since bought an Outwell tent.
Great Tent for Value and Ease of Use, 23 February 2010

Decided to put the tent up for the first time without using the instructions. It took 23 minutes which was really quick. Its quick and easy to put up and light, could do this on your own. I go camping with my mates on our motorbikes and with my husband and wee girl and suits both occasions perfectly. Would highly recommend, especially for the price. Ideal being able to split bedroom in half and front seating area big enough for four camping chairs table. Well happy with my purchase.
wonderful dressing height, 17 February 2010

i bought this tent as i like to be able to stand up in a tent, but didnt want anything to large to carry or anything that took too long to put up. got this down to 15 minute set up total. and standing height is just right.
