The Eurohike Tamar instantly looks and feels like it was built to last, using a classic two-pole structure to support a 2000mm hydrostatic flysheet in attractive green colouring. Its outer layer comes with a non-see-through mesh door meaning continuous airflow and a barrier against mosquitoes. Something the Eurohike tents all share is the fact that you can put up the flysheet first, later fixing the sleeping compartment inside via small fasteners. On paper this sounds promising but in reality we found attaching the inner section too fiddly owing to a dearth of space inside.
