Not seen that one before. Quite heavy (19kg) and it would be interesting to find out how long it typically takes to inflate although it may depend on what pump you buy. We've got Quechua Base Seconds which can be fully pitched and pegged down in about 5 minutes. Just wished we'd bought a spare one before the price more than doubled.

Yeah first time I've seen one too. From the website there's others too. And they're being sold in. Clearance? How come?

I suspect they couldn't sell them at full price - far too expensive

Ive been using the Base Seconds as Simon above mentioned for several years now. Light, quick to put up and an inner available too, which we didn't get. Great bit of kit with good room. We take it to the beach occasionally.

I use the base, have used 2 bases together, one with inner for sleeping. It makes a great space. Have got a 4.1 too. I love my quechuas!

Well that's inflation for you Simon.
