Our Review
Robens have been making excellent tipi tents for years now.
In 2024, they've introduced a new tipi, with a difference: The Robens Settler Sky.
The Robens Settler Sky is a family tipi tent, with a difference.
The difference is the windows that go from the ground to the sky.
The windows reach the roof's apex, giving a fantastic sky view.
These windows help fill the tent with daylight, complementing the warm light that comes through the thick polycotton tent material.
Of course, if you're camping in a dark sky location with a clear night, you can have a fantastic view of the stars straight from your sleeping bag.

If you don't want light coming in through the windows, simply toggle the blinds closed.

Heating
Like other Roben's tipi tents, the tent comes ready to fit a wood-burning stove. Another reason to extend your camping season 😃
Sleeping
Technically, this tent can sleep 10. However, this size tipi works well with a family of four or five, providing space for bags and other items.
You can get a separate inner tent as an additional accessory, though you probably won't need it.
If you use camp beds, stick to 3 people for the most comfortable space.
Ventilation
Another practical item is that the tent has plenty of ventilation when needed (such as when using a stove).
You have low-level vents that can be zipped open and closed and a roof vent that you can open and close with a chord from inside the tent. All are covered with bug mesh.
In this photo, the door is closed. The door has bug mesh, not windows, so you can see out and get more air into the tent.
The main tent material is breathable, unlike polyester tents.
It also insulates heat and sounds better than regular polyester tents.
