Product description

This Belgian army tent is actually a nifty and modern dome tent. Made of lightweight and strong materials, pitches in a smart way, and features aluminum poles to make field repairs possible.

A dome tent is especially convenient for casual use because it stands on its own without guylines. These can be added in case the winds blow but in fair weather, it's up to you.

Features

The structure is an outer tent tensioned over two crossed aluminum poles and a transverse extra pole to increase vestibule space. The poles are retained with loops and toggles rather than long tunnels. The long sides feature symmetric entrances and vestibules.

The inner tent has full-size doors with mosquito nets and both the inner and outer doors can be rolled to the sides for unrestricted ventilation. The roof has three elastic loops for drying your base layer shirt or hanging a lantern, for example.

The fabrics are rather dense so if you have a habit of waking up in a brightly lit tent, you'll like this one.

The flysheet is made from ripstop nylon with a Jigsaw camo pattern. It used to be waterproof for sure but is likely to require some maintenance such as sewing, taping, and treating with waterproofers, if you're after perfect waterproofness.

The stakes are rolled from steel and suitable for a variety of surfaces. The ends have nice flat spots and the don't weigh a ton. Some deformation is to be expected but these can be straightened fairly easily.

Each tent includes the following:

  • Flysheet
  • Inner Tent
  • Two long poles
  • Short pole
  • 12 pcs Stakes
  • 6 pcs Guylines
  • Carrying bags

Dimensions and weights

The size is big enough for two persons when you leave the packs in the vestibules, or a comfortable size for one. The length is a bit shorter than usual, some bending at the knees may be necessary if you're taller than 190 cm / 6' 2".

Inside Width135 cm6.3"
Inside Length205 cm9.1"
Inside Height100 cm3.0"
Total Weight3800 g6.3"
Stakes (12 pcs)580 g9.1"

Belgian army surplus

Made by Wilford Industry. These have been used by soldiers in the field. Stakes may need some straightening, elastics may be worn and you should also prepare to patch pinholes in the flysheet. However, everything is in one piece and serviceable.

The maintenance pays off: this high-quality tent will prove to be a solid companion on your trips for a long time to come.

It's a great tent, a lot of practicality and features for the price. It's from more than 20 years ago but it feels more modern. Mine was brand new except from the outer fly that had some minor signs of use. i'm 190cm tall and i fit very confortably inside. it's also very quick to set up and reasonably light, just be sure to get better tent stakes than the ones it comes with.<br /> I've been using it for a while now and it's doing a great job.<br /> Overall a brilliant and modern tent for a great price. Absolutely go for it.

Great product. Flysheet looks intact, except for need to upgrade/replace the seam seal (parts of the oringal tape are gone or detached). Smells like someone smoke 200 fags over a weekwend just under the fly but that is no problem. Fast delivery and received this now in the UK after was shipped 2 days before.<br /> <br /> The only negative is how I tell the Mrs what she bought me for Christmas...and yes it is another tent!

The tent I received has two very minor conditional issues with it, a few small holes in the storage bag, and one pretty bent tent stake. Overall I am very impressed with the condition and quality of this tent. The poles for this tent are of some sort of aluminum alloy, they seem of very high quality, all of the components seem of excellent quality. The tent’s configuration allows the entire rainfly to be self standing, and I imagine that it could be used as a stand alone shelter without the inner tent. Inside the inner tent there were three loops from the roof of the inside of the tent, probably for hanging a small light, etc; a really nice touch. Like other's have stated, the tent is wide inside, enough room for two people, however anyone over 6feet or 183cm in height might find it too short head to toe. I found the storage bag to have more than enough room to fit the tent into it, yet another nice surprise. Overall, this is an amazing tent for the price I paid for it, and I am very happy to have it.
