Portable Igloo of Plastic

The Bodypac 4Men1D tent.
First time bought a family sized tent - a product from Bodypac, 4 person, single layered, free-standing dome. With just a 2kg trail weight, it is awfully light and a pleasure to carry. And for the family, it was adequately spacious. Can't wait to try it this weekend, when my family will have a nice picnic at a beach on one the islands in Sabah :)


Update 30 January 2015

After testing the tent in bright lit room, holes
between the seams were clearly visible. 
After testing the tent in a bright lit room, I found that the tent will ultimately leak since the seams were not hermetic. Now, a liquid sealant for tent seams would resolve the problem just fine, but it is extremely hard to get in this country and bound to be expensive. I opted for a cheaper solution using just plain duct tape. Hope it works :D

Seams sealed with the kiss of duct tape.

The tent fully closed.
Ready for another adventure :)
