- Is the Respite 1 big enough for a tall person?
- It fits one person lying down, but the 90 cm peak and narrow tunnel suit sleepers under about 6 ft better. Taller campers will find sitting up cramped.
- Can it handle heavy rain?
- Yes. The flysheet is rated 4,000 mm and the groundsheet 5,000 mm, which is solid for three-season use. Pitch it taut so water does not pool.
- How does it compare with a two-pole tunnel tent?
- It is lighter and packs smaller, but a two-pole tunnel gives more headroom and a bigger porch. Choose the Respite 1 if weight matters most.
- Does it have a porch for gear?
- There is a small entry porch, enough for boots and a small pack. Larger kit has to stay inside the sleeping area.
- What comes in the box?
- The tent, flysheet, 7001 aluminium poles, aluminium pegs and a waterproof carry bag. The tent weighs 1.895 kg without the bag.
- Is it freestanding?
- No. It is a tunnel tent that must be pegged out, so it needs ground you can stake into.
