EXPED Aries Mesh Tent Problem

[kanangra]

The inner of this tent is held onto the outer shell at several points by clips that are anchored to the shell by adhesive strips. The strips on mine have failed at their first use with the result that the inner has collapsed into the tent and can't be reattached. The obvious thing to do is take it back but I bought it 5 years ago probably on an impulse. I have kept it all that time unused waiting to give it to my grandson for his birthday.

Has anyone here had the same problem and have any suggestion as to how it can be fixed?

It is a terrible piece of design really and i thought Exped made good gear?

.. so the clip is glued flat to the inner and another attachment point glued flat to the fly.. rather than a sewn tag or sewn pole sleeve ie pulling horizontally not vertically on the join?


They were PU coated polyester?? you should be able to tape the clips back on or you could cut some fabric into strips and use seamgrip etc.to replace the tape..

Yes you have it exactly. That is how it was designed.
