Low weight, high quality materials and high quality workmanship provide an exceptional value for money, lightweight tent, that can compete favourably with very expensive big brand name tents in a similar category. Please do not mistake this little tent for a cheap throwaway festival tent or the very inferior quality tents often available from superstores and the like, there really is no comparison. Indeed if you are looking to compare this tent with other tents (and, I know I would), then compare it to the big brand name, very expensive tents and you will find the specifications of this tent are right up there with them... but the price is not!
The real beauty of our Glencoe 1 is actually its simplicity. There is nothing complicated, nothing counter-intuitive, nothing you have to think about. The tent erects very fast and very straight forward in just a few short minutes.
The Glencoe 1 features a full polyester breathable fabric inner tent with just a small mesh panelling at the apex, so unlike lighter tents that feature an all bug-mesh inner tent, this makes for a nice warm tent when used in colder conditions. There are two large entrances, one on either side of the tent, with the inner tent featuring double doors, so the tent is very versatile when it comes to ventilation, air circulation, and privacy. The inner tent double door feature of this tent might add a few grams, but it is a very nice feature that allows you to either have a completely open door, a bug-mesh screen door to allow good or greater ventilation whilst keeping out any bugs, or a full polyester door to keep in the warmth and/or provide additional privacy.
The inner tent sewn-in bathtub floor measures 210cm x 90cm with high 15cm sides. The floor is made from slightly more durable Oxford weave 210D PU-coated polyester with a hydrostatic head (HH) of 4000mm. Internally this one man tent is quite spacious due to the simple, but effective pole configuration. Two vestibules provide a total storage space of around 9 square feet – big enough for a decent size rucksack and boots, etc. The internal height of the tent at the apex is 100cm.
