 "Nice SIze just hope for no rain" 2009-11-03
By Jason O'kelly (Smiths Alabama)
This is a pretty nice tent as far as setup and looks. We used it for three nights and the first it flooded completely in the rain while my neighbors coleman stayed dry all night long. We even put a canopy over it the second night, and it still leaked. As far as fiting four people in this , it would be possible as long as your all in a sleepig bag. We used a air mattress(quenn size) and barely had room for our bags. The frame was quite sturdy and held up extremely well in the 20 mph winds we were having. I would recommend this tent only if you are going to use it in a dry climate or know for sure your not getting any rain.

 "Much better than previous review." 2008-04-30
By Randy Browning
The other lady S. Haley obviously started having problems when the poles were missing, so from then on out she wanted something to complain about. The openings are there for a reason and are closable.



The double arch makes it one of the largest area tents in its class, and it is waterproof unlike all others in its class. The overhangs on all sides allow for the largest opening of the screen system I have ever seen, especially during adverse weather. At 28 lbs it is not intended to be a backpack tent, but could be humped in for a short distance. The tent is of very high quality, unlike the Coleman options in class. The Wenger products offer sealed floors and seams, polyester taffeta fabric with two coats of polyurethane coating, the windows are massive for great air flow, an electrical port for supporting electrical devices (generator or for backyard camping), a mud mat, a gear loft for storing the lighter stuff that is always in the way, shoe pockets, and a removable rain fly for an open air experience during those clear sky camping outings.



If you want to save money and get 1/3rd the tent, buy a Coleman, if you want something that lasts and is well built get a Wenger Swissgear.

 "good summer tent" 2008-02-23
By S. Haley (Calif)
Nice tent, very spacous. However the package was missing poles and the open screen area in the center of the tent appeared to be very succeptable to wind and rain. It comes with a nice rain fly but again the screen area over the door appeared too open to prevent heay rain from entering. I returned it and bought a Coleman tent with less open screen area.

 "The previous version of this tent was better." 2010-01-27
By Kyle B. Hoelscher
I purchased this tent because i owned a tent that looked exactly like this from Swissgear. That tent held up amazing and it was destroyed thru no fault of the tent. The previous version was light, easy to set up, 100% waterproof, comfy for 2, sturdy construction.



This is some bastardized version of that tent. It looks exactly like it in all the pictures. Lets go thru a quick list of why this tent is not as good as the previous version:



1. This tent has weak fiberglass poles. Expect those to break after a few uses. The previous version had aluminum poles, they were nearly unbreakable, even in high winds.

2. This tent has a roof made from mesh. Do not expect to be rainproof in this tent. The previous tent had a solid roof and could withstand all the rain i ever put it thru.

3. This tent has a bulky and cumbersome rain fly. This rain fly is the same size as the mesh roof, so do not expect it to save you from all the rain. Additionally, when high winds strike, that will be whipping in the wind, making lots of noise.

4. The loops for the tent spikes are much thinner material. I expect at least one seam to rip after a couple of uses.

5. This tent is heavier than the previous version. I blame the fiberglass tent poles and bulky rain fly.

 "Not good quality" 2010-01-25
By AnnaRoseH (West Chester, OH USA)
We purchased these for our Boy Scout sons (no strangers to tent set up and camping in cold weather) and were very disappointed with this product. Neither tent made it through the first campout with cords breaking, poles bending, and the boys getting thoroughly soaked due to rainfall. Not too much fun in 20 degree weather. Even the Scout Masters were surprised at how easily these tents fell apart. This may be good for backyard campouts but that is about it. We are returning both tents and purchasing new ones for next month's campout.

 "For a tent less than $50" 2010-01-23
By Doug C. (Arizona)
For a backpacking tent that costs less than $50, this is exactly what I expected. It is easy to set up and take down, has ample room for one person plus gear, and is fairly light weight. I have not tried the tent with two people yet, but I could see it being a tight fit for two people plus gear. The dual entrances into the vestibule are handy, as well as the small gear loft provided. The tent is NOT water proof, as a previous review stated. The manufacture claims it to be water resistant. If you are planning a trip where severe rain might be expected, I would look into a waterproof fabric treatment. So far the tent is exactly as I expect, and will work until I can afford to purchase a high end backpacking tent.

 "Not rain proof" 2009-07-14
By Customer (Washington, DC United States)
pros:

Light and compact tent <$50 but it is not for 2 people, may be 2 kids.

Nice for one person with some gear.

Easy to set up.



cons: From fine print from the tent: only water repellent, not rain proof. The tent got soaked wet in the rain even with footprint. Be prepared for unexpected weather.



Also the materials are so thin, especially for floor. Will need decent air mat.

 "Very durable!" 2009-12-26
By S. Avdicevic (NJ)
This is very good quality product. I sell at craft shows and I needed something simple, lightweight and durable. This tent is all of these thing. However, you absolutely need 2 people for the installation. I tried very hard to do it myself, but it didn't work - you need a second pair of hands to hold the posts when you are tightening the canopy, especially if you are setting up on a surface like asphalt or wood decking. Which leads me to it's one drawback - this tent, like any other, if not anchored needs some serious weights to keep it down in windy conditions.

 "Screenhouse" 2009-11-22
By Jerome Imbriani (Aurora, IL)
Great product. Stands out against other simular products. I get lots of compliments and requests for information on this product, when we go camping. It does take a little effort to set up and you should use 2 people, so not to damage the framework. Its much eaiser than my older one which requires threading poles in channels on the top. Its a little challenging to repack in the bag when you are done using it.

 "I want another one" 2009-11-21
By Consumer
I had this up all summer long,(in the worst Southeastern rains and winds!) and it worked well as a place to put exersize equipment in and keep the mosquitos off. But at the end of Summer we had 2 weeks of solid heavy rain, wind and flooding, and finally the weight of the rain on the roof bent one of the metal roof structures, which made it lopsided. I don't think any other model would have lasted as long in that weather, so I have it on my list to get another one soon, I really miss it. It was the storms we had that would have collapsed anything. I hope Amazon continues to stock this, it is a really good screen tent.

 "Best Screen House We Have Owned" 2009-10-13
By Kent W. Hadley (Middlewest)
We have owned several screen houses and have worn them all out with our camping regime. We are volunteer camp ground hosts and the screen house stays up all season. The Swiss Gear screen house is the best we have ever owned and I do not foresee us ever wearing it out. Easy to set up and take down. Flexible to use screen fabric or not. Sturdy even in bad storms. Spend the money and get the best.

 "Excellent Tent!" 2009-12-09
By Monty (Mobile, AL)
This tent was an excellent buy! 7x7 from my experience means a 1-2 people tent at most. You can sleep 3 in there but they either have to be really small 3 or ready to be sleeping right next to each other with no space what so ever. I used a tarp underneath the tent, it helped greatly keeping it dry. Also the rain fly worked great. For the 3 days i was camping in heavy mist and dew, the walls of the tent were soaked. But the rain fly really helped. Anything touching the inside walls of the tent will get wet. I would highly recommend having your blanket pillows or anything else that can get wet in protective bags or you can leave them in the car until needed as we did. Over all great product. Next purchase would be a bigger tent! (For a 1 person tent ...its awesome! )

 "Layer Your Sleeping Gear Too" 2009-12-06
By Brian Groover (Frederick, MD USA)
I keep one of these in my backpack as a secondary bag on every hike and campout. It doesn't take much space or add much weight, and often makes the difference between a sound sleep and a miserable night. If the weather is really warm, I sleep in this bag, with my regular bag as an extra pad. If it is really cold, I am fully zipped up in this bag inside my regular bag.



It is the same layering principle that keeps you safe and warm in outdoor clothing, and it works just as well. I frequently wake up halfway in the middle of the night and adjust the layers, as the night gets colder or the tent gets warmer -- just as I wake up and adjust my covers at home in bed.



Note the rectangular shape. It will still work in a mummy, but it might get crowded around your feet. If that doesn't bother you, great. My main sleeping bag is only a 20 degree rectangular cheapie (which is probably about a 45 degree bag,) so the rectangular shape of this bag fits in it easily. Last winter, I slept alone in a tent at eight degrees F with this and my regular bag and no pad. That was honestly too cold for this combo with no pad, but if I had had either the pad or a better bag than the cheapie as my main bag, I would have been comfortable. As it was, I was okay, but was not comfortable. Without this bag as a liner, I would have been in serious trouble.



I'll never go camping without this bag again.

 "Light and compact sleeping bag" 2009-12-05
By Nicholas Conrad (Anchorage Alaska)
Me and my girlfriend bought two of these for backpacking in Hawaii early next year. Both of them zipped together can fit into a single sleeping bag stuff sack. They are comfortable and seem well made. They are lightweight, we probably won't be using them up here in Alaska, except as throw blankets in the living room, but you can't buy a 60 degree rated sleeping bag and expect to do winter camping in it. There is a little pouch near the top to keep some gear handy, keep an mp3 player, or flashlight from wandering too far away while you're dreaming. I don't know what else someone could expect for the price; hence top marks.
