Skygazer 6XV Dome Tent

G'day Katy,

The front vestibule area has a polyethene floor, and the fly material is a polyester material. The front area isn't a sealed unit so if the side doors or front are opened up there will be great airflow.

G'day Gabi,

When all zipped up there isn't really any official ventilation features however being a tent, some ventilation will naturally occur.  To zip up the fly from inside the tent you'd need to unzip the mesh screen to gain access to the fly and then rezip once the fly is secured.  Depending on how heavily it was raining and how fast you could act, would depend on how damp you became in the process ;)

G'day Gabi,

It's hard to give a specific weather rating on a tent, but I can confirm that the Waterhead rating on the Skygazer 6XV is 2000mm. This is a fairly standard rating and should do a good job of keeping you dry, you can read more about these ratings here.   The fibreglass poles are of good quality and will flex with the wind but a generally fairly resilient to this. You can read more about storm-proofing your tent here, hopefully this will help!

G'day Lauren,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I can fully understand how confusing the images are, especially if you're not already familiar with the product!  The bottom right image is the base tent which, when the fly is attached, creates a sheltered area at the front.  The vestibule part of this area includes a detachable bedroom with a weatherproof sewn-in floor.  This sits on top of the floor visible in that bottom right image.  When the bedroom is attached, the centre passage connecting the 2 rooms offers shelter but is not weatherproof.  Hope that makes sense :)  Cheers.

G'day Jo,

The Skygazer 6XV Dome Tent does have a door at the back of the tent. We don't currently have one of these on display to check whether it is D-shaped or a straight zip, but the images in the Oztrail catalogue indicate to me it's a straight zip. This one has some good additional features when compared to the Tasman 4V Plus.
