Info
With ample space for sleeping, storage and fun, the Hi Gear Electron 4 tent is great for four people going for some weekend or low-level camping, who want a no-fuss, trouble free camping experience.
The all-in-one pitching system gives you an easy solution to any dreaded pitching struggles. The inner is attached via a mesh system to the outer flysheet, so once the outer has been erected and pegged, the inner is automatically up and you're ready to camp.
The porch groundsheet is attached to the inner for quick pitching.
The large front area gives you plenty of storage space, and is accessed from both sides by the two large doors, which have rain channels over them to stop drips.
There are ventilation options with the doors and 2 front vents, but if it gets too windy the tent is double-guyed for extra stability. The guylines themselves are bright and reflective to help you find the tent in the dark, and to stop other people from tripping over them on a crowded campsite.
It's a comfortable and practical tent for festivals, weekends away or any fun camping trips.

We bought this tent with vouchers we got for Christmas and couldn't wait to go away and use it. We had to wait until June when we went to Cornwall for 10 days. It rained heavily for 8 of those days, and we had some pretty strong winds. We were in the middle of Bodmin moor and this tent held up brilliantly. No leaks, and stayed put in the strongest gales. Only reason I have not given it 5 stars is, it would have been nice if the porch area was attached to the groundsheet, or pegged down a bit better as the wind did come under it a bit. All in all though, a fantastic tent, well worth the money, and we can't wait to go away again!

Great tent, kept dry in peak district heavy rain for 2 nights, quick to dry. Easy to assemble and good room. Sadly wouldn't want to cook inside as not too high.

I took this tent to the foot of the Ochil Hills from 21st to the 24th of May 2011, yes, one of the worst weekends for weather that Scotland has seen in a long time, 100 mile an hour winds and torrential rain. I saw caravans being moved by the gales, I saw lesser tents being shredded, but me and the 4 children were warm and dry in this fantastic tent, which I was testing out for the first time as I only bought it from the Coatbridge store two weeks before hand. Roll on the summer till I get away again !!
