Slumit GOBI 3 Instant Tent 3 Man Waterproof Double Layer FlashFrame Quick Pitch Tent and Pack System with Porch and Windows

We have used our slumit gobi 3 several times now this year and we are more than happy with the quality. Not only is it British made and not some cheaply made product from China, which lacks in quality, it is a fine piece of engineering. The tent is easy to set up and can be set up with just one person in under 5 minutes. Pegging included! The tent is very waterproof unlike some cheap copies from china. It can take abit of a beating from winds, if pegged right and i would advise getting better stronger pegs. The pegs are o.k but if like me you like to camp in the wild a stronger peg helps with getting them.in the rocky, rooty ground... i would not take this tent out in stronger winds abouve 20mph, abouve this wind speed i would find some shelter, like a hedge. There is plenty of space in the gobi 3, even if you are 6ft! The gobi 3 has great ventilation for them warm summer nights. It features a net, inside the tent, at the top, where you can place a phone or tablet to watch films at night. Although i dont think it was made for this, we thought we would try it and it worked for us! There are plenty of pockets inside for lots of things. We mainly use this as a 2 man tent, with big rucksacks, and we keep our rucksacks inside with plenty room to sleep. We have used it as a 3 man also and there is plenty movement area for 3 people. The gobi 3 has the best pack away bag, you can dismantle the tent easy and the big pack away bag makes it easy to get in without the fuss. I would recommend this tent to anyone, as we have done. If you want quality, no fuss unpacking and packing this is the tent for you!

Excellent 3-person tent – spacious and easy to use Really impressed with this tent and would give it 4.8/5. It comfortably fitted three people and still felt surprisingly roomy. Ventilation was excellent, and it held up really well against both wind and rain. It was also very easy to put up and take down, with clear, straightforward instructions. My only minor criticisms are that the porch/vestibule area could be slightly bigger, although I’ll probably purchase poles to make better use of the awning. It also lets in quite a bit of light and warmth once the sun is up. I only really noticed this around 8am, but it’s worth considering if you like sleeping in. I’m going to see whether there’s an additional blackout cover that could help with this. Overall, a really good tent and a great experience using it. I’d definitely buy another one if I ever needed to replace it.

Had this for about 3 years now. Served me well through multiple festivals. Goes up nice and quick with minimal effort. Packs down just as easy. The bag has plenty of space so you aren't struggling to force it in at all. Kept me nice and dry through some very wet weather. Even survived the mud swamp that was Download 2024. Plenty of space inside for an airbed and supplies. Cannot fault this tent.

Excellent quality tent! Quick and easy to put up and has a proper waterproof ground sheet so water that doesn't get in. Best tent I've bought in years and very happy with it. 10/10

I've had this for a few years now and have used it many times. The first time I used it I could not get it to pop up at all and had a very embarrassing time on the campsite wrestling with it until people came to my rescue. Then it was a group of us all fighting with it! I ended watching videos on how to pitch this and practicing in the garden before finally getting the knack. It can feel quite heavy and require a bit of muscle sometimes, and other times it just pops into place. I use this tent on my own and find it spacious for one person. I have used a double air mattress in it a few times which takes up the majority of the length of the inside of the tent but leaves a strip of space along the width for other bags etc. Using this tent as a couple would be ok. Using it as two single friends would mean very little room to manoeuvre with two sets of bags and stuff. Using this as three people would be far too close for comfort and your bags would have to be elsewhere. The front porch is very small and the sides don't reach the ground which means that rain gets in and any shoes left there will get wet. Slumit do sell a separate porch extender for this model which makes a huge difference. When bagged up, the tent is quite heavy and bulky so I only use it at campsites that I have driven to. It's too heavy to hike with. The ventilation is good as it it has peaked side vents which can be collapsed if not needed. The waterproofing is good and has lasted well. I've camped in some awful wet and windy weather and the tent has held up and stayed dry inside the main inner. The only issue is that the colour stops it from being noticeable in the dark - it almost disappears. Overall, I really recommend this tent as a comfortable one man tent for when you have transport.

I have bought and tried this instant umbrella-like tent. I chose this kind of tent as I am planning a trip where we must set for the night and continue the trip in the morning, and I was worried about the time to set up and take down the tent for just one night. I have a huge 8 people 2 bedroom tent that takes 20-25 minutes with two people to set up, with time-consuming poles, heavy weight and enormous packaging... So, it took me 6 minutes to set this tent (it took time to undo the knots, stretch the cords, and learn to carefully unfold the joints. I think, next time it will take less than 5 minutes (including the pegs in the ground). Well, it is excellent! It has many features that I consider really important. The size is great to fit 3 air mattress that I have. (We will be only two in the tent plus equipment). It has a small porch with two windows to leave shoes, bags, with a ground sheet. The door has two zipper pulls in rubber that are easy to blind touch find them. The porch allows you to leave only the mosquito net so to allow fresh air. It has great air circulation: two triangular air flow on sides, mosquito net on the top allowing respiration carbon dioxide to get out and reduce condensation. Nil insects got in. On both sides there are 5 enormous pockets to put equipment, telephone, chargers, reading material, glasses... (not found in many tents).

I bought this to camp for the Isle of Man TT. I had two weeks booked. Pack size is bang on 78cm. Got to the campsite and had the tent up in 5 mins, pegged and roped in 5-10 minutes, could've done it quicker tbh. Got my gear set up inside for one, plenty of room. It was one of the windiest TT's for years and another review says it wouldn't take more than 25mph. We had 46 mph winds and this tent hardly moved, other pole tents on site were struggling. We had heavy hail and rain, not one drop came in. Loved all the pockets and the ceiling net. I got this for the extra room in the porch which does use a pole, takes no more than a couple of minutes and the extra space is so handy for shoes, cookwear and wet stuff, it also has a ground sheet. The vents and supports for the vents work superbly in the heat. Slumit did me proud as it looks the dogs too. For an island that can have four seasons in a day this worked out perfectly. I look forward to using it again soon on the motorbike tours. Excellent.

This tent is well made and sturdy. Unlike some other quick pitch tents it is waterproof. It packs down pretty small and light. It's plenty big enough for two adults who don't want night time entanglement and would fit three squeezed up. It isn't a tent you're going to be able to stand up in or have a big living area. Pitch and take down is quick but the fold out poles can be a bit fiddly at first. Make sure you understand how they fold out and up and don't force them. Overall really useful tent that's good quality at a good price.

Montaje rápido y simple. Espaciosa, y no es excesivamente voluminosa para viajes en moto. El único inconveniente es plegarla para volverla a introducir en su bolsa otra vez (está algo ajustada)
