How to pitch the Outwell Vermont XL

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEjcqQs_in8

The Outwell Andaman Sea L dome tent is a part of Outwell Tents Comfort collection.  This 3 man dome  tent offers plenty of floor space and height which make this tent particularly comfortable.  The Outwell Andaman Sea L is divided into two main areas, the sleeping area and the porch.  The sleeping area is large enough to accommodate 3 people but we think that this may be a bit cramped especially if you are going to be using blow-up beds.

The front porch is generously proportioned and is high enough to stand up in making it ideal for cooking, eating, storing boots and rucksacks.  The front door can double up as a canopy but to make use of this feature unfortunately you have to shell out more money to buy the poles to make this happen, an unnecessary expense we think!

Outwell Tents are extremely well designed and the Andaman Sea L is no exception.  The doors can be folded up and stored away in small pockets, there is plenty of ventilation which stops the build up of condensation, lots of storage pockets and it can be either pitched flysheet first or all in one!

Outwell’s Outtex Airtech flysheet is designed to be both breathable and waterproof.  The woven polycotton material has a water repellent coating on the outside which allows droplets to form and run off the tent and as the rain gets heavier the fabric cleverly closes up and seals itself to become waterproof.  Of course you have to look after your tents but its longevity is increased in no small part due to its resistance to UV decay.

So you may be asking yourself how is this tent romantic?  Well, it is ideal for couples, a perfect size for weekend trips, its easy to erect  and when you are both lying in your bed you can look up at the stars in the sky through the roof window.  Well it’s my idea of romance!

The Outwell Hartford XL tent is a superb home for home tent.  This cavernous 8 man tent is ideal for families who are looking for space, comfort and durability.  Combine this the interior layout makes the  Outwell Hartford XL tent perfect for long family vacations.

The Outwell Hartford XL consists one large dome area with three standing height bedrooms off it. This height is achieved through Outwell’s Extended Frame (OEF) system which also offers strength and lightness. We like the ability to stand up in your own bedroom area, as this makes organising things / tidying up a lot easier on the old knees.

We also like the option of being able to customise the bedrooms for your children by buying a kids room inner section (optional extra around £45).  This extra allows then to store their toys in pockets so your not tramping on them when tiding up.

The large dome area offers a huge space to eat, cook, wash up etc but if you feel this is not big enough then you may want to consider buying the Outwell Hartford XL front  extension. (~£75).  This extension turns the large Outwell into a huge tent, with numerous uses and really the more you can cover your options,so to speak, in respect of inside space the better.

Lets see what’s under the hood of the Outwell Hartford XL tent.  The fabric of the tent is made from fire retardant material and the outer layer has a hydrostatic head of 3000mm.  Hydrostatic head is a guide to how waterproof the tent is.  In the UK anything above 1000mm is considered waterproof.   However, the higher the number is the more it will withstand driving rain, an unfortunate common occurrence in the UK.   There is obviously no point in stopping the water from getting in if the fabric stops the moisture from leaving the tent so Outwell have made the inner tent breathable which along with good ventilation between the outer and inner ensures that condensation build up is kept to a minimum.

The Outwell Hartford XL tent is pitched flysheet first which has the benefit that the inner is kept dry should you be unlucky to pitch your tent in the rain. The groundsheet is sewn in and is made from double-coated polyethylene (optional extra) which is strong and durable but can be additionally protected by using the Harftford footprint.  The footprint protects the ground sheet from scuffs from small stones and rough ground whilst also keeping it clean.  The tent itself weighs 20.9kg add to that the poles (11kg) and the overall weight comes to 31.9kg .

The Outwell Hartford XL tent is ideal for family camping, perhaps not weekend camping due to the length of time it takes to pitch but certainly good for week long breaks and longer.  The ventilation and waterproofness should keep your family dry in the worst the British weather throws at the tent.

Outwell Montana 6-design

The Outwell Montana 6 has flexibility and convenience in its DNA.  It is designed to be either pitched fly sheet first or as one.    The advantage to the outer being pitched first is that no matter the weather conditions the inner is kept dry.  The main problem with the all-in-one system of pitching is that the Outwell Montana will be heavier and consequently more difficult to handle on your own.  However, once you become more experienced and have help in pitching the Montana you’ll be glad of this feature as it speeds everything up.

Inside the Outwell Montana 6 there are two bedroom areas capable, according to Outwell, of accommodating 6 people.  The bedrooms are spacious but we think that it might be  a bit tight for 6 adults.  Our tip is to take the measurement of the bedrooms and either mark out its footprint in either your living room or you back garden and see if you’re happy with the space.

One feature Tents Camping likes is the ability to turn the two bedrooms into one large sleeping area, which is great if you have young kids who may get up in the night.  Outside of the bedroom area there is a large well ventilated living area which can easy fit a table and chairs.

The Outwell Montana 6 enjoys Outwell’s Sealed Ground System, which is a fancy way of saying it has a sewn-in ground sheet, but it is a bit more than that.  The design of the ground sheet is great for stopping the rain from getting dirt and bugs from getting in!

A mark of a well designed tent, in our opinion, are the little things.  Small things which make you think, yes somebody understands camping.  The small things we like are the numerous storage pockets,the rigid plastic moulding for hanging either a light or heater and the height of the entrance porch.

Outwell Montana 6-Performance

The beauty of the Outwell Montana 6 is it ability to handle the worst of the British weather.   Being made from Outwell’s Outtex 5000 which is not only breathable but has a hydrostatic head of 5000mm.  In the UK around 1,500mm is considered waterproof for UK summertime usage, but if the wind gets up then the higher the hydrostatic head is the better it will cope with rain penetration.  So 5,000mm in our opinion should keep you dry!

How breathable the fabric is is always a priority when camping as there is nothing worse than having a tent which can cope with the worst rain storm but you still get wet from the condensation!  Outtex 5000 allows most of the moisture out but as anyone can tell you no fabric as has yet been developed to be totally breathable.  Outwell are aware of this so they have ingeniously incorporated ventilation systems all around the tent to cut down the condensation build up.  We particularly like the low level windows in the bedroom area.

Outwell Montana-Overall

The Outwell Montana 6 design has been about or over 4 years and in that time Outwell have tweak the tent’s design and performance to make it a very good family tent indeed.  Some may consider this tent to be a tad expensive but as with anything you get these days, you gte what you pay for.  The Outwell Montana 6 is one of the most stable and strongest tents in it class.  Its build quality is obvious from the moment you pitch the 6 man tent to the minute you take it down.
