FS GEELONG-BIG SKY REVOLUTION-2 TENT WITH CROSSPOLE

[Lamont]

Selling this two person tent with the tyvek sheltersaver bought for my daughter and I. This is the exact colour of mine for sale -called Granite Grey. These are product pictures. More at the website linked below.


WE used it twice only on two overnighters, down to about 2 degrees both times and it was excellent.
It is essentially new and in perfect condition.

I am now using the one person version of this same tent, so I’d like to move the BS Revolution 2 mesh inner with cross pole on. I mention this cross pole as there is a version without the cross pole. It adds strength and makes the vestibules overhang the doors (which you can clearly see well in the pics above) are vertical giving more internal space and could easily be left open in rain.
Please check the pics at the web address below. It is exactly the one and colour you see there. It has huge vestibules! The largest of packs would fit with shoes etc. It does not sag overnight and needs no retensioning like sil tents. All internal seams are taped for perfect waterproofness.

There are reviews there as well attesting to it’s quality.

The floor is non slip and seam taped SIL/PU and very robust already. It is a true two person tent at 135 cms wide at the head end. -you should fit two wide and long, though not rectangular pads in it as it is slightly narrower at the foot end.
The floor is PU coated, so no sliding around on your mat nor need for silicone dots.
Adding the Tyvek floor makes the whole thing very tough and durable.

The tent minus peg/stakes is 1.517 kgs and very lightweight and makes for a very small package.
It goes up in one piece in about 1 1/2 minutes with a bit of practise. Perfect for rain. There are several youtube reviews of this tent minus the crossbar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGgxWCu_prc ...shows how easy it is putting it up in the rain.You can also see how small the packed tent is and some internal shots showing the interior.

I liked it so much I bought the same tent in the one person version.
I have walked all over Winter in the one person, most recently in sideways rain and very strong 40 knot winds- the tent didn't miss a beat, it was rock solid.

Height wise is about 10-12cms above my head when seated inside I am 1.79m tall. The space inside is remarkable. The head end is slightly higher and wider than the foot end because of the slightly off-set nature of the diagonal pole set. You can see it in the official pics.
I also have the official TYVEK floor saver shown on the site see the link below.

I paid $695 in total for it with the Big Sky TYVEK shelter/floor saver (listed on the same site as the tent link) which has grommets which also allow you to put the tent up with the inner removed-it just easily unclips.

The shelter saver allows you to leave the inner at home and set up tarp like.
This is the review that clinched it for me -if this tent could handle the Western Arthurs in Tazzie I thought it was a good indicator of it’s quality and it is an Australian review to boot.

starts at page 11 and goes thru' to p23 they have pics and a very positive review of it.
I put this Big Sky 2 up above Baw Baw both times on the AAWT, on a plateau in some wind, in 2 degrees temps-it was rock solid.
$565 plus post(about $15 I think).
If you would like to set it up and check its quality and get in I could easily manage that.
If anyone has a question sing out.
