Hi Gear Vanguard 6 Nightfall Tent with Darkened Bedroom Technology, 6 Man Family Tent, Tunnel Design, 2 Bedroom Tent, Fully Waterproof, Camping Accessories Equipment

Product Information

In recent years, there has been a big improvement in tent technology which means you no longer need poles to put your tent up. Inflatable tents use sections that you can fill with air to provide the stability you would normally get by using aluminium or fibre-glass poles.

Some tents are designed so that they can be set up in just a few minutes, while others can take longer. If you’re not experienced with camping or setting up tents, it’s important to choose a model that’s easy to operate.

If your group of 6 comprises different couples or even some older offspring, you might want to have your own private space in your tent. Looking at the number of bedrooms your tent will come with is important here.

A-frame tents come in a variety of sizes, so you can find one that will fit your needs. They also come in different colours, so you can choose the one that best suits your style. Welcome to the new camping season with the Hi Gear Vanguard 6 Tent. It's ideal for family camping, with plenty of space and two large bedrooms for good night's sleep.This is helped by the brnd newNightfall darkened technology that restricts the amount of light entering your sleeping space. It's fully waterproof and sturdy, with tough steel poles and a well-designed tunnel shape to get the best out of your home from home.Planning a summer camping holiday with the kids? A great family tent is probably the most important element to ensuring a gang of happy campers. You need somewhere roomy, waterproof and comfortable, both to sleep and hang out in, especially if the weather isn’t looking so balmy. Family tents don’t come cheap though, but it’s worth investing in as good a quality model as you can afford – with care it will last you decades of camping holidays in Britain and beyond. Waterproofing Even the best-designed tents can be uncomfortable without a good camping carpet. A camping carpet will provide insulation from the cold ground, protection from wet and muddy conditions, and added comfort when sleeping or relaxing inside your tent. We’d normally use a porch awning to cook in but little chance of doing that here. It looks a lot bigger in the picture than it is in real life, the slope of the tent means the porch adds very little practical space.

This tent is also great in terms of accessories available to buy, including a wardrobe that is super easy to clip in and a good quality carpet. Knowing the outer size of the tent you would like to buy is another factor to consider when choosing the right 6 person tent. The downside to tunnel tents is that they can be difficult to set up in windy conditions. The fabric will often flap around and can be difficult to keep taut. Geodesic Tents With over 30 years’ experience of in providing equipment for a wide range of outdoor activities, Hi-Gear is a brand that people know and trust. From families to festivalgoers, avid outdoor folk and dedicated adventurers, Hi-Gear is renowned for well-priced, hard-wearing gear. The HI-GEAR Vanguard Nightfall 6 Tent is an updated version of a classic tent design that is perfect for group camping. With two spacious bedrooms, this six-person tent provides ample room for everyone to rest after a day of adventuring.If you are camping with a large group, a tent porch can provide extra space for people to spread out. It can also be used as a storage area for gear and supplies. The tent itself is awesome, at 5.2m x 6m, there is a massive amount of space. It has a great hydrostatic head, the poles are easy, Mark pitched it mostly single handed, with a little help to hold it steady while he pegged it down, and we were pitching for the first time in the rain and it still wasn’t difficult (although with the dog barking like a loony, both of us soaking wet and being surrounded by camper vans that just pulled up and got the kettle on, at the time I swore I hated Mark, the tent and camping in general!) In fact, I would say it takes no longer to pitch than our Outwell Corvette, an airbeam which comes in two pieces. Most 6 person tents will come with a decent amount of living space so that you can set up your perfect living arrangement inside your tent. Some of the larger options are also big enough to set up a table and chairs for 6. A real bonus if the weather does turn on you. 2. Number of Bedrooms Working out the right sized tent for a growing family can be confusing. Be wary of the number of people a tent claims to sleep (e.g. “four man” or “six man”) – this usually means how many adults you could squeeze in at a push, sardine style. We recommend halving the number to work out how many the tent will sleep in comfort, so a six or eight man tent will usually fit a family of four nicely, with plenty of space for gear and cooking kit.
