Product Information

Full details

The Easy Camp Quasar 200 Tent is designed for couples seeking a portable and reliable shelter for camping and hiking. Its key benefit lies in its quick 'inner first' pitching and extended porch for ample storage. A potential caveat is its 2000 mm hydrostatic head, which is suitable for moderate rain but may not withstand prolonged heavy downpours. This dome tent offers a comfortable living space with features like a detachable groundsheet, organizer pocket, and lantern point, all constructed from fire-retardant polyester.

FAQs

What is the hydrostatic head rating and what does it mean?

The hydrostatic head rating is 2000 mm. This measures the waterproofness of the fabric; a 2000 mm rating means the fabric can withstand a column of water 2000 mm high before it starts to seep through. It's suitable for moderate rain.

How many people can this tent sleep?

The Easy Camp Quasar 200 Tent is designed to sleep two people.

Is the groundsheet attached?

The tent features a protected porch area with a detachable groundsheet, offering flexibility in its use and cleaning.

What are the packed dimensions and weight?

The pack size is 57 x 16 cm and the tent weighs 3.1 kg.

What material is the tent made of?

The flysheet is made of 180T polyester PU coated, and the inner tent is breathable 100% polyester. The groundsheet is 100% polyethylene.

Does the fabric burn?

The fabric is fire-retardant and designed to melt rather than burn when in direct contact with flames, enhancing safety.

Can I use this tent for backpacking?

While portable, its 3.1 kg weight might be a consideration for serious long-distance backpacking. It is well-suited for car camping or shorter hiking trips.

Troubleshooting

Tent leaks during rain.

Ensure all seams are properly heat-sealed. Check the hydrostatic head rating; for heavy rain, seam sealer or a footprint might be beneficial. Ensure the groundsheet is properly utilized and the flysheet is taut.

Condensation inside the tent.

Improve ventilation by opening the front and top vents. Avoid blocking vents with gear. Ensure the inner tent is not in direct contact with the flysheet where possible.

Poles are difficult to insert or remove.

Check for any debris in the pole sleeves or ferrules. Ensure poles are correctly aligned before insertion. Do not force poles, as this can cause damage.

Tent feels unstable in wind.

Ensure all guylines are properly tensioned and pegged securely. Check that the tent is pitched tautly. Use all available guylines for maximum stability.
