Our Review
When I first saw this tent, I thought, "What a gorgeous-looking tent!".
"What a gorgeous-looking tent!"
The photos don't do it justice.
But the Robens Settler Field is not just a great-looking tent, it's practical, too.
Tent Layout
The Robens Settler Field uses the exact dimensions of the extremely popular Robens Klondike tent.
This means it can use the same accessories like footprints and carpets.
The tent is dome-style and can technically sleep up to 6, though it is much better for a family of four.

Room with a View
Of course, the big thing about the Robens Settler Field is those views from the tent.
The large tinted windows bring plenty of light into the tent.
That is one thing missing in traditional bell tents, but with this clever design, you have traditional looks with a modern practical tent.
Although you can fit an inner tent to separate the space into bedrooms, we think this tent is best without it.

These large side windows on the tent are bug mesh, so help with ventilation on warm days and when you have a wood-burning stove in your tent.
Warm Tent
The polycotton 'canvas' tent material is much thicker than regular polyester tents.
This breathable material also insulates much more. You notice it as soon as you walk into the tent. The campsite sounds are quietened, and the temperature is better regulated.
If it's warm outside, it's cooler in the tent. If it's cold outside, it's warmer in the tent.
But you can make this tent even warmer by fitting a wood-burning camping stove, as the Robens Settler Field comes pre-fitted with a stove port for the flue.
This makes this tent perfect for extending your camping season into the cooler weather.
Cosy nights.
Unboxing your new tent
We received the tent in a box with the new Robens logo on.
The Robens Settler Field box. Inside this is the tent in the bag.
Inside the box is the polycotton tent bag. This bag has compression straps and plenty of expansion, which will help you get the tent back into the bag afterwards.
In addition to the tent, you will find the tent poles and pegs.

Pitching the Robens Settler Field
Pitching the tent is relatively straightforward.
For details, watch the part of our video on pitching the tent.
Pitching can be summarised in 5 steps:
- Put out the footprint (if you have one).
- Roll the tent out and peg down the bottom loops of the tent.
- Insert the centre pole.
- Insert the door frame.
- Peg out the guylines and the rest of the tent.
The tent footprint is an optional extra. It helps keep the bottom of your tent clean.

Assemble and insert the central pole.

Peg out the guylines and remaining pegging points on the tent.
Robens Settler Field Footprint
The footprint comes with lightweight alloy tent pegs.
You may come up blank if you search for the Robens Settler Field Footprint.
Instead, look for the Robens Klondike Footprint. Since the Robens Settler Field and the Robens Klondike are the same size, the footprint and carpet are the same.
The footprint is an optional extra, but worth it if you are camping when the ground could be wet and muddy.
This footprint has velcro on part of it. This is so the footprint can be rolled back if you want to stand a woodburning stove directly onto the ground.
This also helps you identify the front of the footprint, as this velcro must go where the tent's door will be.
The Robens Settler Field Carpet
Another accessory I recommend getting with this tent is the carpet.
Again, look for the Robens Klondike tent carpet, as it's the same.
The carpet rolls up into a bundle, complete with a carry handle.
A wood-burning stove can be placed directly on the ground in this tent, and the carpet has Velcro to roll it back and out of the way.
To fit the carpet around the central pole, I recommend undoing the Velcro. You'll find it easy to fit around the central pole.
The carpet has elasticated toggles so that it can attach to the tent.
Note that the carpet doesn't go entirely to the tent's sides.

Living with the Tent
I found this tent very practical. However, it isn't for a large family.
For that, you would be better with the Robens Settler Sky.
Depending on if you are using camp beds or sleeping mats will determine how much space you have, since the tent has sloping sides.
There is plenty of head height towards the centre of the tent.
The tent's ventilation was excellent when camping on a hot day, and the polycotton tent fabric's insulating nature was very noticeable.
The blinds on the windows worked well, and the door proved very practical, and with a no-trip entrance.
We also have the original version of the Robens Kiowa Tent. We found that the design improvements on the new Robens Settler Field made things a lot easier, especially when fitting the flue pipe for the Robens Denali Stove.
This tent is excellent.

If it works for your family, it is well worth considering.
It gets the thumbs up from us. 👍
This tent looks gorgeous at night, too!
