 "Excellent Backpackable Tent" 2009-10-06
By Andreas Rounds (Lake Forest, CA)
REVIEW: (3 Nights at Bass Lake, CA)





- (SETUP) Even with instructions I was baffled with the pole configuration. I'm serious, the instructions could have been in "Pop-up book" format and I'd still have been lost! Even when I thought I had everything in place I came to find out that some sections were upside down. [When you set it up once (correctly), you'll be golden from then on and it shouldn't take but a few minutes in the future.]

- Condensation collected under the cover of the tent, but it never fell through the net-mesh.

- Great Airflow with/without the cover.

- Both entrances/exits work well and felt strong.

- Tent is solid as a drum when fully assembled.

- Stakes aren't needed unless you have the cover on.

- Plenty of privacy with the cover on.

- The net-mesh works amazing at keeping insects out and giving the occupants a panoramic approach to sleeping.

- [BACKPACKING] You can fit it all into one pack, but you might want to split it into two if you are sharing sleep space with a friend.

- [BACKPACKING] You will probably need a smaller sack to keep this tent in if your looking to save space.





FINAL THOUGHTS:





Long story short, if you need a great solid tent that can fit three bodies, plus gear, in comfort and is Backpack friendly, then this is an excellent choice.



I'd buy the Footprint for this tent. The material for the tent is plenty strong, but if your going to invest in a tent of this quality and cost, then it's better to get as much as you can out of it for future uses.

 "Light, roomy, state-of-the-art, tent" 2009-07-07
By Laurie Sweeney (Meadow Vista, CA USA)
I wanted a light tent that could pass as a 2 man, (with one of the men 6'4", 260 lbs) plus 2 dogs or a tent that could accommodate 3-4 people, if necessary.



Lots of room and very comfortable head room.



Setup was easy without pouring over step-by-step instructions.



Loved the see through mesh. We took the tent to mosquitoville (early Desolation Wildnerness), and groups of us hung out in there, just to escape. Even the dogs quickly figured out it was better in the tent without the mosquitos.



I was very surprised at how rugged the mesh was. The dogs would try to get in/out by scratching at the door. I expected big claw marks in the mesh, and there were none.



The rain fly was very rugged and comprehensive and yet we did not experience any condensation.



I was kind of disappointed it didn't rain, because I wanted to see how that would turn out, but unfortunately, we had beautiful weather.

 "Buy Real Tent Stakes!" 2009-11-09
By C. Fenley (Newark, DE United States)
My wife and I just got back from a trip with this tent and it worked great. It did not rain, but it was very windy the first night (gusting up to 25 mph). We did not use the rain-fly rods because the side windows do not have a zipper-flap to 'close' them. So, we just allowed the rain-fly to seal the windows, which it did quite nicely. Temperatures were in the mid 20s minus wind-chill, but we were comfortable in the tent. I don't know how this tent would've held up if we'd had a driving rain along with the wind, but frankly, we wouldn't have stayed in those conditions with ANY tent. This tent could sleep four adults elbow-to-elbow, but we had two twin airbeds to either side (for us) and two large dog beds between the beds. There was still plenty of room for boots, leashes and such at the foot of our beds, and I had a regular sized backpack, heavy jacket, and clothes at the head-end of my airbed.



Finally, I absolutely recommend getting real tent stakes, even those plastic yellow stakes. The little metal stakes that come with this tent are going to be useless at a lot of camp sites.

 "Roomy Easy Set-up Tent" 2009-10-20
By Kathyabj (ohio usa)
I haven't camp in several years now that my sons are grown. I was looking for a tent that I could set-up with out any help. I'd say I found it! I set it up in less than 30mins. I'm sure I can do better the more I use it. I bought a twin mattress that converts to a king size. I still have room even with the king. So I'd say for me and my dog I have plenty of space for storage, sleeping, dressing and sitting in my oversized camp chair. It didn't rain so I can't comment on that. I think that 4 people could be comfortable in this tent, with some room to spare for gear. I'm not impressed with the stakes that were included. The one's included are a joke, if the ground is soft they won't stay put. I bought metal one's that are much better. When it's all packed up, it's lightweight and doesn't take up much space. Very good buy for the money!

 "works well, good value" 2009-10-05
By E. Meshack-Hart (Portland, OR)
It did leak a little from the bottom seams, but this was without any sealer or liner placed. Possibly would be fine with it. Otherwise this is an exceptional tent. light, very roomy/airy, yet sturdy, and oh yes, stylish too :-) You can't beat the price.

 "Disregard anything less than a 5 star review." 2009-10-02
By David A. Geers (Cleveland, OH)
This is the best tent you will be able to purchase under 100 bucks.



I have had mine for this entire camping season and has held up through the worst of weather nature has thrown at it.



First off, I have to make a major point, this isn't an all season, $300+ tent.



It is very airy inside and will keep you nice and cool on the hottest of days. Anyone who was complaining about the cold, try getting a warmer sleeping bag. With the fly off, it is drafty yes, because it is suppose to be. Slap the fly on and this tent keeps the wind off you very well. A tent isn't a miracle heated room, but this one will keep you cozy if you have the proper sleeping gear to go with it.



Set up is a breeze. 2 poles and 8 clips gets you set up, 2 more poles, 4 hooks and 4 velcro strips and your rain fly is on, takes less than 5 minutes. Like any other "regular" tent, yes, the poles will snag the guides, so don't force them through.



I have no clue how anyone could snag the zippers on the weather guards. Its 2x thicker than the tent walls, you would have to force it between the teeth of the zipper to get it stuck.



You can easily fit 2 queen sized air mattresses and all your gear in the dome, and at 6'2", there is plenty of room to get changed inside. I have fit 4 adults, 2 adults and 2 mountain bikes, or 3 grown men inside with room to spare! And the double front door is nice to not rustle sleeping campers on the other side of the tent by stepping on their feet if you have to get up in the middle of the night.



A can of seam sealer on all seams and this baby took on 3 days and nights of constant hard and heavy rain in the Allegheny foothills outside of Wisp, MD. Out of 4 tents, I had the only dry one! The only moisture was condensation on the walls. This isn't a high end tent folks, that will happen, and you will have to break down and spend that extra 7 bucks on a can of seam sealer and hit those "pre-sealed" seams. After that, she'll hold up to some nasty weather.



In all fairness, there is one flaw for this about 60 buck tent... it is a pain to get back in the bag. You really gotta roll it down tight and bag it first before anything else and once you rip the seam on the tent bag, your kinda out of luck. SHUCKS



This tent is amazing for the price. If you have common sense and don't expect this inexpensive tent to compare and function like those costing hundreds more, you will be more than pleased with your purchase.
