BlackWolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent

G'day Kelly,

The ventilation on the Turbo Lite 240 is pretty good. The side windows are gusseted, so can be opened to allow venting even if it is raining. The entire front door is double layered too, so you can open it up to allow ventilation there too. There aren't any floor vents in this one, but you don't really need them with the gusseted windows. In terms of heat - yes, if it is hot, then any tent will likely be hot!

G'day Kelly,

The inner tent material of the X-Lite is 75 denier compared to 150 denier and the fly material is the same at 150D. The X-Lite tent would allow more light through as the material is slightly thinner. The Turbo Lite would be slightly darker inside than the X-Lite because of the difference in the material thickness.

G'day Kelly,

This has a small mesh pocket on each side of the tent so a total of 2. It would be great to have more storage pockets, at the moment a separate item like storage pockets, slings or shelves would be the best thing for extra storage space. 

G'day Leanne, 

The sleeping capacity is 4 people, so you could fit 4 people side by side on mattresses about 60cm wide although it would be a tight squeeze. The recommended capacity is 2 people as this is a more comfortable fit with some space. 

If you were looking for something to fit 4 people I could suggest the BlackWolf Turbo Lite Plus 300 Tent, this is a bit bigger and will comfortably sleep 4 people, and has extra room at the back.

G'day Barry,

The Tourer Cap is made from different material and is not waterproof.
Its designed for quick overnight stops in fair weather to protect the tent from possible overhead issues like falling sticks/twigs, trree sap, bird poo, etc

G'day Chris,

I can see you've asked this on a few BlackWolf tents, but no, they don't use No-See-Um mesh, which is the only mesh type known to 100% prevent midges.

G'day Shiree,

Yes, the Turbo Lite 240 Tents have a silver inner coating on the fly. We're not entirely sure when Black Wolf starting doing this, unfortunately, we don't have archived records with this type of information. The Silver Coating helps add extra waterproofing and durability to the fly fabric.

G'day Simon,

Sometimes extendable awning poles get a little bit of dirt in them and cause a grinding sound that will make them a little tricky to open and close. My suggestion would be to try and use some WD-40 and then open and close it a few times to see if the dirt dislodges. 

G'day Alzine,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent will usually take about 20 minutes to set up on your first attempt, and then each time you set it up you'll get a little quicker.  

G'day Alzina,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent is lighter, packs down smaller and is cheaper than its canvas sibling. Whilst there is a reduced Waterhead rating on the Lite tent, you'd still need it to be absolutely pouring down to have any issues with leaking as 2000mm is still a very good rating for a tent to have. The Canvas tent will also probably be marginally better when it comes to condensation if you go camping in very cold conditions. 

G'day Alzina,

If you're camping in super cold conditions, then condensation can become a problem in any tent. Some tents can be better at keeping it out than others but overall, if you open up some ventilation in your tent then you'll reduce the condensation a fair bit.  

G'day Alzina,

The Black Wolf Turbo Lite 240 Tent is definitely waterproof. It's got a Waterhead rating of 5000mm for the floor and 2000mm for the fly. If you wanted some clarification around Waterhead ratings, you can check out our blog here. 

G'day Cathy,

The Black Wolf Turbo Tents, like most tents on the market, aren't coated or treated with any form of flame retardants. In every instance, we highly encourage against having any form of flame within any tent for this (and other) reasons.
