A tent is one of those hugely important pieces of gear that you have to buy on trust. Apart from having a quick lie down to gauge the dimensions, you can’t really take it for a test drive in the store. You can’t accurately judge its waterproofness, wind resistance or condensation issues. You can’t take it on a 20km hike. You can’t sleep in it, unless you have competent breaking and entering skills or a particularly indulgent sales person.
And that’s where Great Walks comes in. Our job is to be your eyes, fingers and synapses when it comes to choosing gear. We’ve personally set up, prodded and poked, and most importantly slept a full night in each of these tents, so we know them inside out. No need to…
