Thread: Intents Outdoors ultralight silnylon jet 1 tent first impressions and review

So after spending a few days down Southland I have put the jet tent through its paces.
The night we spent out it was extremely windy and it rained heavily on and off throughout the night.
I was kept dry and the tent didn't suffer at all from that dreaded flap some tents suffer from in winds.
The only noise which would be an issue in any tent was from the heavy rain.
I could sleep on my back or my side with plenty of room which is a nice bonus.
My only mistake was that I pitched the tent with the head end facing into the wind, the problem with this is that the vestibule doesn't come all the way to the ground. There is about a 1.5" gap that helps with ventilation this allowed a draft when the wind was particularly strong that made my face a bit cool but not enough for me the bother doing anything about it.
I just rolled over and faced the other way.
If I am in a situation where high wind is likely I will pitch it with the vestibule facing away from the wind.
Between the vestibule vent and the head and foot vents condensation was no issue, it was definitely cold and wet enough that condensation would have been noticed if it was.
All in all a bloody good setup for anyone on a budget.
Will it hold up to long term use ? I guess time will tell.
Would I buy another if it became damaged beyond repair by use or abuse absolutely.
There is more than enough room in the vestibule for my 75L tatonka bison, my size 16 boots and still plenty room for wet gear you wouldn't want inside the tent with you whilst your sleeping.
Intents Outdoors where also great to deal with and you can buy there gear on trademe, Facebook or direct through their website, customer service and advice was top notch.
Here's a couple more pics from my trip anyways.
