UPDATE: the shock cords in the poles have lost most of their elasticity and become insufficient to hold the poles together until the poles are inserted in the tent. I always dry out the poles after a trip, so I would expect them to last longer than 5 years. I have replaced the shock cord with thicker cord from bunnings, making the poles work great again :)

Cheers for that. I definitely needed to be taught how to taut

Well presented video 👍 I believe this is the only review of Second Arrow on KZfaq

Good information on setting up. Now I need to find information on putting it away in the travel bag.

Thanks, great review. they look like an awesome set up, especially being able to cook in rough weather.

Good review and informations about how to use this tent. Thank you for sharing👌🤙

Thanks very much for your helpful review and tips Rohan!

Good job Rohan. Thanks

This is actually a good tent. I’m a solo traveler and only travel with 2 man tent anyway. Most one man tents a too restrictive. For me this tent ticks a lot of boxes... good Review

Awesome review thanks.

Nice tent. Where can we Scandinavian Vikings buy this tent?

Yeah, not nany reviews on the 2nd arrow unfortunately. I had the previous model with the bright yellow UV safe titanium oxide coating which i bought around yr 2000 for my mointaineering trips in Oz and NZ. Loved the tent, withstood 140km/hr winds, minor flooding in a storm whete it acted like a water bed lol and completely dry inside and when the mesh ripped WE went ahead and fixed it free of charge. Used it constantly for about 10 years with a lot if sun exposure at low and high sltitudes. It was a dream!. Weighed about 2.4 kg. Only failed when a buidling buried it in the Christchurch esrthquakes lol. Tried a number if diffetent tents since then, only because i hated the apple green coloration, ehich for me was a major safety issue being in the mountains. Last thing i wanted was a camoflaged tent if i was camping below the snowline. But after going through many blixzards and having "mountain tents" fail on me, not so nice when in the backcountry. i went back and bought the blue x- tent, being a lot stronger and durable than the green tent at the same weight as my old 2nd arrow, so far pretty good! 0:03

Thanks Rohan. Looks like a great tent. How do you think the long term durability is. How are the zips holding up. The structure appears to rely a lot on the zips. How many days use has you put on it. Cheers.

Great review, thanks! Any idea where I can find a review of the Second Arrow X?

Thanks for the setup tips, very handy. I thought the tent was meant to be free standing but it doesn't appear so. Any idea if it's possible to set it up on a wooden platform?

Great review! How tall are you and have you had any issues with your feet or bag touching the end? Especially so with a winter mat and lofty bag?

I really struggle to get the front of it taut! Mine flaps a lot in the wind.
