Eurohike Rydal 500 Footprint with Steel Pegs and Carry Bag, Prolongs the Life of your Tent, Groundsheet Protector, Tent Accessories, Camping Equipment

Product Information

The experience with wind resistance however is mixed, to put it nicely. I already mentioned the replacement poles as your insurance policy for adverse weather, and there are more than one reports of snapping poles. In terms of all-round weather protection the fibreglass poles seem to be the weakest link. Although, there are ways to reduce the impact of strong winds on your tent, it is also true that pole tents, compared with air tents, are less able to withstand strong winds. On the other hand, there is a bespoke footprint for the Eurohike Rydal 500. I must be bought separately but it is rather inexpensive so I strongly recommend getting one. (Rydal 500 footprint on GoOutdoors) Eurohike Rydal 500 Carpet There are hanging loops for lanterns, and you also have Velcro tabs to pass and fix a cable at the apex pointon the ceiling. At the time of writing this post I could not find a bespoke footprint for the Eurohike Sendero 4, but the Eurohike Air 400 footprint is compatible with the Sendero 4 too – get the Eurohike Air 400 footprint here.

I wouldn't worry too much about it only being 2000mm HH. It is unlikely to leak directly through the material itself. My very first large tunnel tent was a Eurohike of only 1500mm HH and it weathered many a storm, although the seams leaked which was typical of Eurohikes at that time (about 13 years ago). I would hope the seams are now taped and properly sealed. The Eurohike Sendero 4 is a small family tent with good water protection, that is easy to pitch and carry around. It has loads of room, however it might be a bit tight for four adults, but could make a great tent for a family of four. Seasons-wise, in view of its declared waterproof rating, this tent is good enough for any weather conditions in a 3-season use. The Eurohike Rydal 500 is perfect for couples – plenty of space both in the bedrooms and in the living area; as well as families of up to 5 (with 3 smaller children).Clearly, this is far more than you need and the declared capacity is truly generous. Though, the sleeping area looks too narrow for the 5 people sleeping on pads. It would be far better for 4 people. But as you realize you have a huge living room with more than 6 square meters of the fully protected area where several more people can sleep. The floor plan and dimensions. The frond door has zippers on both sides but it does not have at the bottom. This is a design thing and there’s a gap between the groundsheet and the front door on almost every tunnel tent. You can put the Eurohike Sendero 6 on the list too, it is bigger than the Rydal 500 but not much bigger, and has great specs. Detailed review of the Eurohike Sendero tents here.

It is a PE footprint with 10,000mm HH waterproof rating to keep the bottom of your tent protected from the damp and muddy ground, the pegs are included. Replacement polesThe Vango Icarus 500 is very similar to the Eurohike Rydal 500 – detailed review of the Vango Icarus 500 can be found here. The Vango is slightly bigger, and slightly pricier, but there is an option to attach a bespoke awning to the Vango Icarus 500 which increases versatility as well as improves weather protection.
