About this product
The North Gear Camping Pop Up 4 Man Tent offers a convenient and quick solution for your next outdoor adventure. Designed for families and groups seeking an easy setup camping experience, this tent boasts an innovative auto frame design, allowing you to pitch it in seconds – no fiddly poles required! It's perfect for festivals, weekend breaks, or simply enjoying a family camping trip.
This 4-person tent is constructed with lightweight fibreglass poles and features a durable polyethylene floor for stability and protection from the elements. The robust polyurethane-coated upper offers excellent water resistance, while sewn-in groundsheet and taped seams help to keep rain out. It packs down remarkably small – measuring just 100 x 16 x 16cm when folded – and weighs only 2.5 kilograms, making it incredibly portable for transporting in its included carry bag. Its dimensions are 240 x 210 x 150cm (L x W x H) when fully erected.
While the rapid setup is a key benefit, be aware that folding the tent back down takes some practice. It’s best suited for shorter trips and may not be ideal for extended wild camping in particularly strong winds. The polyester fabric construction provides good weather protection, but regular hand washing is recommended for maintenance. This mid-range tent offers excellent value and convenience for those seeking a straightforward camping solution.
