Berghaus Kepler 9 Tent Review

KEY FEATURES

• Pod-style layout
• Roof skylights
• Front porch area
• Nightfall darkened bedrooms
• Tinted windows

The bedrooms are all fitted with darkened Nightfall fabric, specially designed to block out early morning sunshine without losing any of the breathability needed to prevent condensation building up.

Although the living room is surrounded on three sides, thanks to the window panels and the skylights, it feels bright and spacious.

The Kepler 9 also has an excellent front porch area for cooking and storage and the hydrostatic head rating of 6,000mm means it should be capable of keeping you dry no matter the weather.

A decade ago, when pod tents first came to prominence their popularity was offset by the size of their footprint and the difficulty in putting them up. However, times have changed – inflatable technology takes a lot of that difficulty away from pitching. And these days tents are bigger than ever and most campsites are able to accommodate even the biggest. Some sites will charge extra for pod tents, though, so make sure you check in advance.
