great tent for family
3 years ago
I purchased this tent as my first tent for my family. At first the extra weight definitely held me back from initially purchasing the tent however after doing a lot of research and reviewing my options considering I have two German shepherds three kids and myself. When you split the tent wait up between two people it’s not bad at all and you can drop the footprint and make it even lighter you can also change the stakes and save about a pound or so. Tent is super easy to set up and it’s very durable with a nice tough bottom. My family of 5 fit in it with our dogs . It was a little crowded but not overly crowded. I would say this tent is perfect for 3 to 4 people easily with plenty of space depending on the size of the people. I have used it multiple times and even in one very large thunderstorm and the winds got pretty heavy but I had it staked down good and I had the tie set as well so they held during the wind and no condensation issues. In my opinion it cannot be be for the price compared to the price of similar tents that way only 2 pounds less

Set up is a breeze

The tent set up was a breeze. Taking it down was also easy. Very roomy inside but four people for sleeping only. Just the right size for me and my dad.
