Classic Collection Features
Classic Collection is pure top of the class when it comes to polycotton tents. Thanks to Outwell’s own, specially commissioned Outtex® Airtech flysheet fabric, these tents really do perform, look and even feel like no others – offering the twin benefit of a cool interior when it is hot outside, and actually feeling warm when the weather turns chilly. That is the Classic combination! This is backed up by key characteristics such as Zip-out Groundsheet in quality Tarpaulin PVC, inners in Breathable 100% pongee polyester, Dry Zip System, Alloy Poles and more. Classic looks. Classic styling. Classic details. These Classic tents really do live up to their name.
Outtex® Airtech
Exclusive to Outwell, this sector-leading flysheet material boasts genuine ‘climate control’ performance, for a whole extra comfort dimension,
whatever the weather. Also highly resistant to UV decay, this woven fabric has a highly effective water repellent treatment that actually self seals as rain increases.
Zip-out Groundsheet
Zip-out Groundsheets are a camping must have as far as a certain kind of camper is concerned. Why? Because it effectively keeps any unwanted bugs firmly at bay. Sturdy PVC Tarpaulin also minimises the cleaning-up chores.
Alloy Poles
Superior quality, hardanodized aluminium means the ultimate in stability as well as keeping the tent’s overall weight down.
Decorative
Introduced last year, and an immediate hit in the style stakes! Check out this contemporary, green-in-green striped print on the inner tent.

To be fair the tent is pretty much ideal for all family camping situations, from a weekend break to a week or two away.
The Bear Lake is pretty much the best all round tent money can buy.
The Polycotton material ensures you are kept cool in the morning while other campers are forced out of their ‘oven like’ tents, following the sunrise on a fine day.
Conversely this tent is extremely robust in poor weather; it can withstand the wind better than others, providing a safe haven in the unpredictable English weather.
Pitching is NOT a formidable task despite its size. The exoskeleton is made up of four semi circular poles, (five if you include the canopy), and is kept simple by the symmetrical (simple) design of the tent.
Consider carefully from where you purchase your Outwell tent!
Although prices vary considerably, ensure the retailer has a no quibble replacement/refund process on faulty/defective tents.
It is worth noting that Outwell refuse point blank to deal with the consumer. Outwell (Oase Outdoors) leave the customer service completely to the ‘tertiary company’, (the retailer).
In this case: Yeomans Outdoors who provided appalling customer service following purchase of a defective tent. They initially refused point blank to refund/replace, and generally made life very difficult.
First, the delivery was very fast and no complications.thank you! On the day we got it,we pitchedit up.we had a outwell Colorado 5,the bear lake might be heavier,but it is easier to set it up.it is a lot of fun.the polycotton makes it nice and cooler inside as regular fabric.the Windows are large and give a nice ventilation.if a tent,then this one.

Wir haben das Zelt letztes Jahr gekauft und sind absolut zufrieden. Es hat sehr viel Platz, viel Licht und eine gute Durchlüftung. Während unserer Ferien hat es zwei Nächte ununterbrochen geregnet, rein geregnet hat es nirgendwo! Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass der vorderste Teil nicht bis unten geschlossen ist (regnet mir persönlich zu nahe ans Zelt), dies kann ja aber mit zusätzlichen Bögen erweitert werden.
We have used this tent about 6 times now and cannot rate it highly enough. It is fantastic. After a few practices we can now get it up and pegged down in about 30 -40 mins. The pack size is big and heavy but as long as you have the room to transport it it is the best!
