Sturdy, awesome
bought this tent in 2016 I have slept 30+ nights in it. It has held up very well, and is quite enjoyable in buggy locales. I would prefer to sleep open air but have found myself on teh east coast where creepy crawlies prevail...this tent is next best thing.

Tent in a snap
Yes , I recommend this product
Z-3 Tent was very easy for my 10 yr old son to set up. We slep in it twice in the first month and I had plenty of room and I am 6'-2". Loved the exterior vestibules for storage and a ground mat is a must! My son is using it as his Scouting Tent for the next year or so. Too heavy for backpacking but great for local day hikes and front-country camping.

Perfect Tent for Two!
Yes , I recommend this product
This tent is nice looking, very easy to assemble, and high quality. It would fit two adults easily, plus some bags or gear. It could be used for car camping or backpacking, or even more extreme camping – it is very lightweight and compact. Definitely no regrets here!

Great tent!
Yes , I recommend this product
I camped with my two sons in the rain and it stayed dry! Very easy to set up. Love to sleep in it without the rain fly.
