Camping tent MH100 XL - 3-P - Fresh&Black

This tent stayed cool all day in sunny weather which was a blessing. The interior is completely pitch black which was also great for sleeping. The only drawback is that you can't see inside without a light, but you can't have it all. The fresh and black technology also make it a bit heavier. The small storage space at the front was very useful and large enough. We were two in the tent and it was just about enough space for a double mattress in the middle and our bags on either side. It just about fits a 6' person inside, but if you have a tall mattress, your head will touch the edge of the tent. A

Every tent I've owned in the past, my opinion has generally been "it's ok, but...", and I've made a mental note of what I will look for in my next tent. With this tent, however, I think I've finally found "the one".
I had previously looked at the 2 Seconds Easy tents for easy assembly. However, I opted for this one due to the better weight/space ratio, and despite it being a bit windy when I arrived at the campsite, it was still relatively easy to erect on my own - and I'm a short lady with arthritis! I can't quite stand fully upright in this tent, but the generous headroom does make moving around inside it easier for me, especially in the mornings when I'm at my least flexible. There was plenty of room in the bedroom for myself and all my stuff (in fact, it felt roomier than my last tent, which had a slightly larger footprint but less height), and would probably be a comfortable fit for two adults with either less luggage or some of the luggage stored in the porch area.
The first time I used this tent was for a week during a UK heatwave, and it was noticeably cooler inside the tent than outside, but not too cold at night (I slept as comfortably as I would on a normal night at home). There was some heavy rain overnight on one night, but the interior of my tent remained perfectly dry. The lantern hanging points, multiple storage pockets, and 'washing line' in the tent are all incredibly useful - although I would have preferred the 'washing line' in the porch area (or perhaps an additional one there).
Dismantling the tent was even easier than assembling it - although it did take me a couple of attempts to get it all packed up small enough to fit back in the bag (fortunately, I had enough of a mobile signal to watch the video online, and following that it worked first time)!
The carrying handle on the end of the bag does make it awkward for someone of my height, and could be improved by moving it to the top of the bag (I cobbled together a handle here myself by tying a spare strap I had to the two straps which fasten the bag closed.
Overall, although this tent is slightly heavier than I had been looking for (I'd been aiming for 5kg or below), I now feel I have found the perfect tent for me, and would recommend it to anyone who has similar requirements to me. I'm satisfied enough with it that I've now stopped my many-years-long hunt for the perfect tent, and am now just hunting for the perfect trolley (to give you an idea of how particular I can be when shopping for new gear, that will need to be small enough for travel by public transport, comfortable for arthritic hands, a brake to stop it rolling away on a hill (preferably automatically applied if I let go of the handle), sturdy but lightweight) to enable a non-driver like me to keep getting my gear to slightly out-of-the-way campsites for many years to come!

Tested the tent the other weekend camping with my mates, the tent is great. The blackout make such a difference waking up in the morning and not cooking from the heat or being blinded by the sun first thing in the morning - worth getting the Fresh & Black version 100% Comfortably fit a double air bed and my stuff too great for 2 people and their stuff - got festivals later in the year. Actually looking forward to the sleeping / camping portion now because of this tent. Packs up super easy too the bag makes it really easy to carry and transport. Really super pleased with this tent!
