Brooks-Range Propel 2D Tent Review:

Water accumulation problems etc.

The idea of using trekking poles to set up a tent is certainly neat. It comes at a price though: if you use the tent as your base, you have to find something else to support it.

The main problems are however:

1) Condensation -- even in rather dry conditions it rained inside the tent very badly.

2) The footprint is pretty big but because of the triangular form it's very hard to cook inside -- no room.

3) Also no mosquito net -- this could help keeping the tent drier...

Overall -- hardly usable but neat.
