  • @Brasso182 The poles arent the best. I got a new pair from gelert, free of charge. just email them.

  • That looks so roomy inside am ony 5'8 tall. Think id get all my other gear inside too? Great video by the way. I thought your dog was gonna cock his leg up! LOL.

  • @fairmanbaby Thanks, he did actually wee on the tent bag, that bit got edited out, lol. There is enough room for a 65L rucksack.

  • Nice vid. I have a Solo, and have used it in the Spanish Sierra Nevadas (see Youtube 'Mulhacen in winter'). No wind or rain, but it kept me warm, and kept the frost off. I'd say they're good value for money.

  • That tent looks like new after 36 years

  • I bought mine last year and the small pole cracked.. from the comments here it looks like its a common problem with them. I will try emailing them to see if they will give me replacement poles.

    Otherwise a good tent if you dont mind being cramped (but then versus weight...)

  • Pole cracked on first 1 week trip. Luckily had gaffer tape. Gelert sent new ones out to me as well. Shame because otherwise a good tent and totally waterproof.

  • have you had any trouble with the poles ??. ive read a few reviews and ppl say the poles crack, to late now though ive got one for xmas lol.

  • I have just got my gelert solo. :-)

    Its cushty too. Cant wait to get out and use it. Yipee. Listen to northender2006 about packing it away too. I have just done it his way.

    Its easy when you know how

  • @curleyjoe100 i bought a 13 ltr exped dry bag,i just stuff the gelert solo in without the poles then get the air out.it does the job great.there only 7 quid too.worth investing in 1 in my opinion...happy backpacking...;-)
