Don't touch them

You will find that after a few days, even after 2 bottles of the local french table wine, in the dark you will be able to put up your tent perfectly

Why do they fall to bits? Blow away in the wind?

They are a gimmic, and like a cheap umbrella they might be fine for a night at Glatonbury, when you get stuck for a wet weekend in Wales (or for that matter a long wet night outside a French town someplace) you will appreciate getting the best tent you can
