PsycloneTents.USA

I've lived in my 4m psyclone tent for four months now (April - August) as I lived nomadically across the U.S. It has held up beautifully through it all - wind, rain, thunderstorms - and it is still going strong. After weathering the tent the first week, during which you can expect the canvas to leak, it has not leaked since. The zippers are super heavy duty and none have broken (a big fear of mine going into this, as I got the tent with the removable floor). Granted I don't pull the zippers by the handles but their bodies, to be safe. The tent takes about 30 minutes to set up once you get the hang of it, enough work to deter potential thieves from stealing it while I go to town. It's not complicated to put up by any means, just time consuming. The worst part is all the stakes, especially in rocky substrates, but even that isn't so bad with a rubber mallet. I've always been able to make it work.

One downside to the tent, which has little to do with the actual tent, is that its size makes it difficult to heat up if you intend to put a wood stove inside. I have the Winnerwell Nomad Medium stove and to properly heat the tent requires continuous wood. And without that the tent cools at a rapid pace. I would suggest going with a larger stove for such a large tent.

Everything has held up very well. My tent has been set up continuously in ~6 different spots for the past four months with no issues at all. When I do take it down, I find it impossible to fit it back into the provided bag, but it's not a huge problem since the company also provides straps so you can just roll it up and secure it. It is bulky but what can you expect.

Overall I'm beyond happy with this purchase and the experiment of living in a canvas bell tent has worked out way better than I expected. I was worried to take a risk and get this relatively unknown brand that was something like ~200-300 dollars cheaper than their competitors, but I took the risk and I'm so glad I did because I am in love with this tent! It feels very little like a tent, and much more like home. The dog approves too!

I've been living in the 3 m fixed floor model for 4 months now. Overall, the quality of this tent is excellent. Zippers are heavy duty, and the canvas and floor material is solid. Two things that anyone considering this tent for real camping should know: 1. It will not be waterproof right away. In fact, it will need to be doused thoroughly then dried then doused again several times for the canvas fibers to tighten up. Once this happens it will be waterproof, but dont expect it to keep water out right out of the box... you will be wet and disappointed. 2. This tent can get hot in the sun... very hot, and there's no way around it. If you are planning on using it in hot and sunny environments, consider the removable floor option, for the best ventilation.

Now that I've had a chance to get out in the wild with my new tent I can give it an honest review, and I'm here to say, I love it. It's a quality tent that is well designed. The cloth is heavy and I expect it to last for many years. I pitched the tent on a mountain ridge to escape to summer heat and being able to roll op the sides to enjoy the breeze was really nice. A windstorm that came up in the night barely ruffled it, meanwhile I slept great. It would be nice if the US website had all the accessories the the Australian website has available, but I can order through them if I need to. I've been showing it off to friends and I think Psyclone will be getting more business. Thanks Toulouse!

I absolutely love my Psyclone Tent. The tent is super easy to set up and extremely durable. The 13 foot bell tent is waterproof and great for any temperature or climate. Comes with directions, duffle bag and all the necessary poles and pegs. The price is very reasonable compared to other tents I've been researching and the fabric is higher quality / thread count than what other manufacturers offer. It also comes with metal tensioners on the ropes that make it super easy to tighten as desired. The customer service was excellent, I would highly recommend this product!!

I’ve been wanting to purchase a bell tent for a while, so I decided to purchase this one. By far, it has been great! It’s very spacious in the inside, (which I wasn’t sure how much it could fit). It was easy to setup and the instructions are very clear, we probably were able to set it up in 20 minutes. The material are very durable, and of high quality. I like the zippers, they are very strong and slide quite easy. The best part of the inside is that it has windows that can let air bent the inside, so it doesn’t get too hot. The screen at the entrance is a great add on, so you can let the breeze. Absolutely perfect for us, and highly recommend getting one. We used it this easter weekend, for a party and all children quite enjoyed it. Great add on for our camping gear! Looking forward to more adventures!”
