      Comments about Sierra Designs Bedouin 6 Tent:

      I bought this tent in May and have gotten to use it several times this summer.

      Set up/Take down: Easy
      I set it up by myself the first time and I'm a 5'3, 108 lb female. It's easier with two people, (it's a big tent), but it can be done by one if necessary. Takes less than 10 minutes to put the tent up. Another 5 for the rainfly.

      Space: Great for 2.
      It's a 6-person tent but I've only used it for two. We car-camp so I like having some space. It's definitely big enough for two people. If you put 4 in there, there wouldn't be much room for your stuff. I also use air mattresses so that takes up some space too. If you had sleeping pads that would save on some space.

      Quality: Excellent
      I am extremly pleased with the quality of this tent. The ventilation is awesome. You won't wake up with droplets on the side because the entire top vents. It has a 'bathtub' style base that has the waterpoof bottom partially up the side of the tent which really helps during the rain.

      Rain Resistance: Excellent
      The first time we used this tent it poured all weekend. Hard. Fortunately we had the footprint. Unfortunately it was our first time putting it up so we had some puddles underneath the tent which caused some moisture on the floor of the tent. No leaks though and no rain coming inside the tent. We slept on the floor of the tent with no sleeping pads or air mattresses this time and were fine. We stayed completely dry. I was actually surprised when I woke up in the morning. The rainfly was excellent and the two vestibles gave us room to take off dirty/wet things before entering the tent.

      Pros:
      It's quick and easy to set up
      You don't have to stake it down and it stands up fine
      It has quiet zippers
      There's a hanging line inside the tent to hang wet things and pockets inside the tent to store things
      The light color of the tent lets in a lot of light so you can see easily, even with the rainfly on

      Cons:
      It's heavy - not meant for backpacking
      There are no windows (it is however partially mesh, which is nice to look out of, but stinks if your close to other campers because they can see in)

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Very easy to set up. Took only minutes and done with one person. Great for car camping (it's a bit heavy for backpacking). Perfect for 2 adults and 2 kids (not sure how 6 would really fit). Nice design, great features.

      Comments about Sierra Designs Bedouin 6 Tent:

      This is a quick tent to set up, even though it's large, one person can set up while the other unpacks the car. Holds two full size REI cots with plenty of room if you need to set up chairs on the inside when it's raining outside. Hope to see it around when we're ready for our next purchase. We go on long road trips of about a month and no problems yet on this tent. We've had it 3 years.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        The fact that I was able to single handedly assemble and disassemble this tent (even in the dark) is a testament to it's good design. So far it's been nothing but a joy to use.
