Here's the explanation regarding using the Rab tent in the UK-

The Summit extreme is a single skin tent and due to the UK climate you would find that you get a build of condensation, although I have used one in Wales on frosty night and it worked ok.

The outside temperature needs to be colder than inside the tent for the fabric to breathe, hence the reason why we have included the quote on the website as people were using them for UK camping. Had it been ok for this then it would have been advertised as a tent.

It’s designed as a mountain shelter where in the higher altitudes you would encounter snow rather than rain, which is a different kind of wetness, and where the air temperature is permanently cold.

If used for the purpose intended then it is a great piece of kit, however if you are thinking of using it for UK camping then I would strongly suggest that you look at other alternatives.
