Ok, let's go...
I bought my Arctic Alpine Design Veloce about a month ago so I've only slept in it for a few nights, but my first thoughts are that I'm more than satisfied with it! Like every other tent it has its up- and downsides, but all in all it fits my needs and demands very well.
PROS:
- Light weight (weighs in at aprx 1,7kg - rep.kit and all pegs).
- Easy to pitch (I pitch it easily, all pegs and guy lines, in <5min alone).
- Fly sheet and inner pitched together.
- Small pack volume (I pack mine in a 8L stuff sack without effort, it could probably fit in to a 5-6L with more compression (I pack the pole and pegs separately)).
- Tent foot end leans outwards making it easier to avoid pressing your sleeping bag against. The tent 'head end' is pretty steep as well, so I didn't experience any trouble lying comfortably.
-Spacious inside - I'm 186cm with a tall back and I use a thick sleeping mat, but I can still sit upright inside the tent without problem.
-Inner tent door in mesh, providing good ventilation.
CONS:
- The vent in the foot end of the inner tent has no mosquito net - you can only have it open in the non-mosquito season.
- Only one vestibule, a vestibule that some people could find a bit too small.
- Low water proof specs - floor only has 2000mm PU Nylon. (But, from what I've read on other forums there's nothing to worry about - it's more a matter of different ways to measure the 'xx millimeter water proofness'.
- The small poles at the foot end of the tent are hard to remove - I used several minutes the first time I 'unpitched' it (what's it called in English?!?) just to get those short poles out...
- The tent is delivered with only 6 v-pegs and 8 titanium skewer pegs. That's all you need to pitch the tent, ok, but I would have liked more of them to give me some more choices.
Well, those are my conclusions so far. I admit that I have fallen in love with the the Veloce, so I guessyou should go easy on my answer since I Iook at the tent with coloured eyes... You wrote btw that it's ok for us to answer in norwegian - if you're just as comfortable in reading Swedish I recommend you to read this post on the Swedish forum 'Utsidan':

Well, that was my 5 øre. Feel free to ask some questions if there's anything you're wondering of.
