I bought this tent thinking that three season meant better quality. When I received it found out that it does not mean that at all. The poles were the cheapest quaility I had ever seen in a tent and the material was not much better. I have a cheap regular tent that I bought several years ago that is heavier but much better quality. I was hoping that this was a good deal but I guess it is like they say "you get what you pay for"

I saw a review of this tent on a website that said 'great for watching stars in the pacific northwest' and I was looking for a tent to take to the PNW that I could pack in a suitcase and lug around for a month.
I went with 3 friends we all brought tents with us and we stayed in 5 different places in 5 days, so I was an expert at setting up this tent and breaking it down. My friends both had expensive northface tents I set mine up in the same amount of time it took them to set theirs up. The instructions are not all that difficult if you are used to setting up a tent, it's quite simple really, one pole is shorter that one goes in the shorter side.
The only complaint I have is that the poles don't stay together as well as they should. When I got home I bent the metal connectors a little bit with a pair of pliers and they now stay together a lot better. I also haven't been in the rain with this tent yet so I don't know how well the rain fly works or if the bottom stays dry, it always makes me nervous to camp in a rain storm with a new tent.
My friends did make fun of all the zippers on this, the door has a zipper, it is on the outside, the screen has a zipper it is on the inside, and then the fly has a zipper, and there is a door on the other side too. so 6 zippers, I'm not saying it is a complaint it is just loud when trying to close everything up for the night.
So for the cost of this tent, it is easy to pack, easy to set up, and easy to lug around. And finally if you take this tent out to the Redwoods, or anywhere with a view of the sky, you will not get much sleep because you will want to stay up all night to watch the beautiful stars.

This is a great tent for the money but there are trade offs. After exhaustive researching for a suitable tent for backpacking\light camping I chose this model. The tent is relatively light at 5 pounds which makes it acceptable for backpacking, but the packed length is around 2ft which is a little long.
In addition to the other reviewer: #1 waterproofing - I have read many reviews on this tent and as long as you seal the seams, it works perfectly.
#2 Directions - They stink, way worse than what he said. Easiest method is this, pull out the 6 corners (leave some slack) and stake down. Extend your poles, you have two the same length and one smaller. Push through respective sleeves and insert through the staked rings. You can handle it from there just by looking at the picture, and also if you have another person helping you it would be great.
#3 Size - If you have ever bought a tent you know manufacturers purposely overstate their capacity. Two aduls can sleep some what comfortably and you could possibly squeeze in a young child but thats about it.
All in all one of the cheapest decent quality tents that you can buy. (Texsports website sells it for about twenty bucks more!)

If you are not a frequent camper (like me) this is a good tent for the price. It pretty much does the job and looks good, I like the mesh windows but I do have three complaints.
1. Unless you have your tent pitched on some canvas (as my friends did) it is going to get wet in the rain. I thought having a rain fly would solve any weather issues but it definitely doesn't. My tent and everything in it was soaked after a storm. Maybe that's just me not being the most educated camper but again I thought that maybe they should tell you that.
2. The instructions are the worst. They just are. The only advice I can give you is to mark your poles with a waterproof pen after you first set it up because each one has to go in a specific place, in a specific order and they don't really tell you so the first time you really have to struggle through it.
3. There is no way this is a 3-man tent, it just isn't. At most you could get a couple in the tent but even then you are going to be quite crowded if you have anything more than a backpack with you.
Final thoughts... it did the job and I didn't spend a fortune so even with the 3 complaints above I feel like I got what I needed out of it.

This is the best tent I've owned! It is a perfect size for two and all of the stuff you need--it advertises that it sleeps three but I don't see that happening unless it is 3 kids. We are 5'8" and 5'10" and had more than enough room for our hiking packs at our feet and other stuff at our heads. It is very lightweight and so quick and easy to put together! Our first trip using it was on the coast of Northern California. We used the rainfly over the top and it kept out most of the condensation/fog though the sides were a bit wet on the inside in the mornings. It kept us very warm and was so easy to travel with! My favorite part is the screened in skylight to watch the stars and feel that much closer to nature while keeping the bugs away.
