Troubleshooting
Tent is leaking
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the hydrostatic head is not compromised. Check that the groundsheet is fully sealed and that the flysheet is tensioned correctly to prevent water pooling.
Difficulty pitching the tent
Familiarize yourself with the pole and sleeve system before your first trip. Ensure poles are fully inserted and the eyelet and buckle system is used for secure pole fixing.
Condensation inside the tent
Improve ventilation by opening the two-way zip at the door top and using the mesh window. Avoid cooking inside the tent and ensure sleeping bags are not directly against the tent walls.
Poles are bent or damaged
Handle poles with care during setup and takedown. If a pole is damaged, it may need to be replaced. Minor bends can sometimes be straightened carefully.
