...Once pitched the tent was very stable and those magic red sections of the Powerclips certainly boosted stability, without making the tent so stiff that ot could not flex in the heavier gusts.
The tent is far bigger than you might expect given its 2-person rating. Indeed, I reckon you could sleep three inside in comfort, while the extended porch is also big enough to take three people's gear.
With its PowerFrame technology, the Vaude Power Odyssee XT is a valuable addition to the UK market, and ideal for two or three people backpacking and wild camping in the wet and windy British Hills
