    Coleman Graphite 3 Tent

    If anyone is looking for a new tent I can recommend the Coleman Graphite 3. Quality construction tunnel design, ally poles, large porch area, 3.8kgs and packs small enough to fit in a Zega pannier. The best bit is it's half price at only £75.

    Ooooh that's a tasty lil beastie!

    Do you know if the poles and groundsheet stay attached for, dare I say it "rapid erection"?!

    I could be rather tempted... hmmm really need to break my other one though to justify it!

    Inner tent and fly remain together. The three poles (colour coded) have a separate bag. I pitched mine for the first time in about 2-3 minutes.

    really liked he epsilon from Coleman but this looks even better value, if we weren't switching to ti-pi there would be another order in the post.

    Coleman stuff is exceptionally made, over the years i have had every thing from canoes' to literally the kitchen sink and its allways been excellent stuff (although parts can be a rip off as you have to buy through a 'robbing b~@tard' of a UK importer.. eg stove seal in the states $1 in the UK £6!!!)

    I've got a Coleman Quartz 3. It's a nice bit of kit, not too 'spensive, and can be pitched by a complete idiot in pitch darkness...

    Or by me, as it turned out.



    It can be completely free standing, but it's good practice to stick a few pegs through to keep it from blowing away in the breeze.

    This one also fits in a 35 l zega case, upright even if you take the poles out and squeeze a bit.

    Not a fan of tunnel tents myself (prefer something that doesn't need pegging down) but this looks a cracking buy and another vote for Coleman quality, value & attention to detail, here
