Festival must-have: The insulated tent

With the music festival season on the near horizon, camping enthusiast Derek O'Sullivan has developed what promises to be the world's first correctly insulated tent.

Little beats sleeping under canvas, but conventional tents have a few drawbacks. Once the air temperature drops, tents cool very quickly inside and, conversely, in direct sunlight they can become like saunas. On a crowded campsite, the complete lack of sound insulation can be wearing.

Thermo Tents use multi-layer design to offer maximum sound and temperature insulation and minimum condensation. Discerning campers can find out more at kickstarter.com/projects/thermotents
