This my slumit pop up tent.
Double skinned and plenty of room for three to sleep.

Didn't really suffer much at all tbh.
Got a bit in the very front porch area but that soon dries up once you open the door.
Very quick to pitch and take down as the poles are fixed to the outer fly sheet.
Had some serious heavy rain and wind last time I used it and stayed dry as a bone inside

Mines the Grizzly 4
Really pleased with it.
I did manage to break a pole but that was my own fault.
Easily replaced for a few quid

I use a QUECHUA QUECHUA 2 SECONDS POP-UP like this:
https://www.decathlon.co.uk/2-second...d_8378284.html

I think I have a 3 man, it's more like a 2 man. Great tent, no condensation and sturdy. Most times I don't bother with the guy ropes. Takes me about 2 mins to take down. I've had it years and it's still going strong.

Only issue it's a bit low, But most basic tents are. I've not read the whole thread so not sure what type of camping you plan. But for greenlaning type stuff where you just use it to sleep it's perfect.

Edit: just spotted this: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/2-second...d_8492484.html
Looks more functional with the porch area.

My last pop up was the non-blackout version of that one in the second link. Porch area was always really handy

My ground sheet just wore out through use (went to patch a hole and then noticed there were lots of thin patches...). I did shift pitches a few times by just unpegging and dragging with my bed still in it which probably didn't help

Elty, Fez, I've never seen any off those tents before, not even heard of slumit, I like the way they work.
I have a crappy popup tent but a single skin one, I didn't think there were double skinned ones, thanks guys

Or if you like it compact... The SnugPak Scorpion 2.



I have a video on its ease of set up!

Its so easy to do though with that tent, Don't like your spot. remove the 4 pegs and move it. I've even slept in it a few times without pegs.

Meant to say Doug, reason my camp/dutch oven is the size it is is so it fits through the top of the firepit (also 3l is plenty big if it's just feeding me!)
