[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tent for kayaking or car camping but would not take back packing. Loved that you can take it down while leaving the rainfly up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really liked the little details and product quality! It does weight a bit more for Backpacking but it works perfectly if it gets shared in tandem ! Main purpose i got SeatoSummit is for Canoe Camping trip ! And worth the price ! Only con - foot prints to be bought separately
I purchased this tent in hopes to go bicycle touring with it with my wife, but I had heard some bad reviews about the fly leaking at the vent so when I got it home, I set it up on the front lawn on a rainy Sunday afternoon the conditions were rain with no wind And it rained on the tent for an hour or two and the water started to wick down the vent support And onto the zipper seam for the vent itself the next evening, I did notice some other leaks where the tent would fasten to the fly itself. Just an extra note: the upper vent was closed. The staff at REI was very helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this tent on a gravel bike trip in Wyoming and Montana. I didn’t have to pack it on my bike-it was carried on a van. This tent is easy to set up. I loved that it has 2 doors and how spacious it is. It has lots of pockets for storage. Im happy with my purchase of this tent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this tent for my teen age daughter. She likes to camp and her old tent was just worn out and not worth repairing. So far we have been lucky and have not experienced any severe weather so i cannot attest to how this tent holds up in the wind or rain. Its sets up quickly and looks to be very sturdy. The rain fly is good and large. I like that the screens on the sides of the tent are well above the ground. This should prevent wind blown rain for making its way in like it does on tents where the screen is lower to the ground. The top vents zipper closed but i have to wonder if there is still not a chance of wind blown rain entering at the top of the tent. I guess we will just have to wait and see. The zippers work very well. The tent is very roomy for a two person tent. So far my only suggestions for improvement are to make the compression straps on the bag go all the way around the bag so they are not dependent on the stitching and add a carry handle. Other than that I am very satisfied so far.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm lost of words with how many setups this tent is capable of my favorite is the hangout mode my family love it when we're outside at parks, picnics, or just blocking the sun outside
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this tent after our lovely loyal LLBEAN 3 person needed to retire. It’s a great design, lots of headroom, handy inner pockets and loops, helpful colour coding. For some reason there was a leak happening during our first 2 outings. I reached out and true to their work a replacement fly was sent. I still wonder why the first one leaked, one of life’s mysteries I guess. Many thanks Sea to Summit for your support
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a tent right? Nothings changed with tents since the 90’s, however sea to summit managed to do it, the tent is more roomy and multi faceted whether it be a quick shelter an open bug shelter or a bomb proof tent. I used it for my motorcycle road trip and it kept me out out of the weather. Easy set up tall walls and one happy camper! I would recommend.
