Has any one used one yet? are they worth shelling out �130 for?
yes
Yes. Yes.
At 700g each a team could take two and they'd still be carrying less than normal single man tent, say Terra Nova Solar or equivalent.
Roger (Polaris main man) and I shared one to see how it faired with two. It is ideal for what it is designed for and I am getting one. In my oppinion, for what it is worth, I would be happy to carry it in the rucksack whenever I am up in the hills - be that on foot or bike as it doubles as a survival bag and weighs next to nothing. I like the way it folds up flat to. But if you want to go on a camping holiday with the kids you may need two !!!

Do remember, however, they are event tents and are not designed for keeping the midges out in the Highlands of Scotland - the groundsheet is not sealed with mesh to the outer all the way around the tent.

Obviously they are event tents, but it would be interesting to hear how they perform in worse than the mild weather we had at the Polaris.
