Some of these no name (that I've heard of) tents can be good value. I bought one three years ago for under £20 and after a couple of nights use here my son borrowed it for a week in the Netherlands. I checked it out yesterday prior to a two week trip to France and it looks perfect. If it survives this trip I'll regard it as having paid for itself. Ok, I'd probably not use it for a winter blizzard but for summer use with the occasional thunderstorm it's fine.
I'd guess it's aimed at the festival market where loads of tents are left behind afterwards (many because it's easier to buy another one than clean them out) but it works for me and I'm happy to piggyback on that world It packs down to not much bigger than a loaf of sliced bread which is great for bike use.
Decisions  Clean it out or buy another one
