Great tent upon initial set up
Ross8 years ago
My wife and I have been camping together for nearly 10 years and we normally went the cheaper route when buying our tents. We usually bought a basic (cheaper) 6 person, to accommodate our two cots and dog crate. We upgraded to this tent this year and upon initial set up I'm very happy with the design. Very beefy poles, lots of ventilation options, I think 5 different convenient storage pouches. Looks pretty sharp from the outside as well. I set up our two cots and measured the remaining width to ensure our 30" wide dog crate would fit - more than enough room. The vestibule will be very nice should it rain and I'm picturing many morning coffees in that space. I will echo a previous reviewer who mentioned that the main front doors are only mesh, so we'll need to rely on the walls of the vestibule for warmth. We live in WI and usually only camp from late May to September, so temps shouldn't be an issue. The floor seemed a bit thin too, but we'll be investing in a footprint which should add some protection. I think the dog likes it too :). Looking forward to many years of use with this tent.

Overall happy but...

We camped by the beach the fog and dew made the inside top of tent super wet to touch and drip a little when touched or shook. This is my only complaint. I love everything else about this tent. But it should come with a separate rainfly to keep the wet out. Hopefully I am able to buy one separate to go with tent because I want to keep it.

Lots of room extremely well made. This is a keeper. If your lucky enough to get this tent for $399 tell them please take my money. We would have paid twice that for this tent. Say good by too hotels. This is the only tent I would say buy some land and settle in for the long haul. You can now retire. Compact well made and the best tent you will ever buy. Perfect dog tent.

Overall i feel satisfied with my purchase. Very roomy with 2 large vestibules. Taped seems but no bathtub style floor. Single wall design make set up quicker but i would have preferred a separate rainfly. Biggest flaw is you can only open windows from the outside and its open or closed there is halfway option. I do like that the vents are seeled in mesh so it keeps out bugs. The windows are my only complain.

I wanted to love it.. but its cold and drafty
8 years ago
We really wanted to love this temt. After 10 years with our trusty Eureka Bonavista Tent, it had torn due from our Dog going crazy after a bear. We decided to invest in a new tent. I did alot of research into the various models available. and after seeing this unit at Sail in our town. we purchased it.. I was a litlte hesitant because it was a single wall tent. But its great looking tent and looks well made, and the right size for my family of 4 + dog. We set this up in our backyard for a trial run and during a cool night (5 degrees C) with calm winds we found it to be freezing and very drafty. it really felt like we were not in a tent at all.. did not keep any heat in. even after we closed all flaps and doors to prevent drafts.. But one detail we didnt realize when we purchased it. was that the Doors were all mesh all the time and you couldnt zip them closed to help prevent drafts. its a shame. but if you camp in weather thats less then 15degrees C, then keep looking.. going to try a Eureka Bon Echo instead.

Great summer tent.

On the whole great tent. Big pros -One person set up -Lot of room -Vestibule is great for storing gear or taking a private bath at a busy camp ground. -Lots of ventilation options. -Real sturdy Big con -This thing is drafty. The big mesh door let’s out a lot of heat. The draft actually is quite welcome if it’s over 50 at night. It got down to 38 in Yellowstone and this thing would not keep in heat. It can be mitigated with a heater. It’s going to be my summer tent. But I’m going back to my mountain 25 for the colder nights. Or buying that heater.

Would buy this again- Just get the tent

Used this tent for the first time last weekend. A possible chance of rain was tempting me not to go. However, we went anyway. Saturday evening & night a thunderstorm came through. I am glad I have this tent , it was perfect for the storm. Two people and two dogs sat under the vestibule with comfort watching it rain. Later that night it started raining even harder with heavier winds. The tent held up just fine. Not one drop of water made it in the tent nor condensation. The tent held up just fine. I am glad I have this tent . The possibility of rain does not scare me with this tent . Go ahead and buy this tent, you will not be sorry.

Excellent tent for family or hunting. Super easy set up. Built in rainfly is legit and survived monsoon downpour the first trip I took with this beast, not a drip or drop inside. vestibule is huge, enough room to store coolers, packs and other gear without getting in the way of entering tent. So many internal pockets! Only knock is the drafty nature of this tent being that there is only the mesh netting zip door separating the inside of the tent and the open-air vestibule. Once staking is complete there is a couple inches of clearance between the ground and the bottom of the vestibule on both sides of the tent. This creates heat loss and wind intrusion. Solid zip door would have easily remedied this. Also more thought could have gone into ceiling zips to allow for star gazing. Overall solid weather-proof tent for the price.

Great tent for the price

This tent worked well for our family of 4 plus a dog. The vestibule has plenty of room for 2 chairs plus storage for muddy boots, tools, etc. I agree with others that it got a little chilly inside overnight (we were in Leadville, CO at 38 degree lows), but our 1 and 4 year old didn't seem to mind in their sleeping bags. You can set it up by yourself, though it is a bit easier with 2 people. Also got torrential downpours overnight and heavy gusts but the tent held up well and we were all dry as a bone. The duffle carry bag is also really nice because you don't have to struggle trying to roll up the tent to fit inside a tubular bag like every other tent/bag/pad I own. Can't recommend this tent enough!

Safe and dry in the storm
7 years ago
This tent is easy to put up, open and breezy in the hot summer Oklahoma sun, plenty of room for the whole family, and hides valuables well when you aren't there. But the most 5 star worthy attribute. With its aerodynamic design and oversized tight fitting reinforced frame poles, It withstood 60 mile per hour wind gusts and a deluge of a thunder storm two nights in a row. And the whole family stayed safe and dry. I was amazed. It was scary and loud, but the tent was strong. Tip, I tied everything down very well. The strength came from the frame poles and the single wall design. If the item is available, and you need a practical, high quality, high durability tent, this is the one. 10 out of 10
