Okay Starting Tent
Tent overall is okay for the price and has a nice footprint with adequate space. As most tents go - the 3 person tent really can only fit two regular wide sleeping pads with less than another regular sleeping pad width between the other two. Vestibule space is really nice and easy to use/setup as all it takes is a stake on each side. The rain fly is NOT gray. It is white. The 'navy' blue is also not navy, but more of a brighter blue. All in all not terrible, a little misleading in the images and color denomination but not enough to get me to return the tent as it does function well and is a nice cheap tent to have. The packaging is a bit bulky to bring backpacking but most non-UL ones are. Fly clip ins to the tent and/or ground sheet use buckles so its quick to attach the fly. The provide 10 ground stakes but only 4 guy-lines when there are 6 guy-line points on the tent. Can certainly buy 2 more cheap ones on online elsewhere, but just doesn't make sense that they would ship the tent without the full amount of total usable guy-lines.
