It's got a fly. Sibbo, read Grants back yard test where it was erected for a few days in pouring rain...the first page of the thread. Dry!

Look who I found whilst doing a google image search for the tent!


Cheap tent, cheap bike! Interesting Kangol Spitfire!

i see they sell a waterproof GPS cover. I wonder if one could get away with an inexpensive car unit with a cover like that?
