The mesh is actually too good
3 weeks ago
This is my first tent for car camping. I'm over 6'0 and wanted a little extra room for more than just an air mattress and myself. I went with it based on the quality reasons and thus far, it's holding up nicely. The fly has kept the inside dry but I'll randomly have moisture built up on the basin under an air mattress. A drawback for me ia the mesh is 'too good' for warmer / hot temps - it doesn't let much air through and I find it an easy 5-10 degrees cooler on the outside. This may be great for colder weather camping but not summer.

Love it!

Great little car camping/backpacking tent. Love the inside space just enough for my wife, toddler and me. Not much leftover inside for gear with the 3 of us but the vestibules are large. Pretty heavy for backpacking but if it’s a short hike you could use it. It’s a little smaller than I expected but for what we needed it’s perfect! A compact car camping tent. Would also be great for a paddling trip. As always with MH quality is 100% nothing to say there. Also, the mesh and roll up fly are clutch for starry nights!

This tent was a replacement for a 20+ year old tent that was no longer shed rain. I couldn’t be happier with this tent. It held up beautifully through a 3-hour thunderstorm that included an interval of marble-sized hail. The 3-person size was perfect for 10 days of solo camping. All of my gear fit comfortably inside the tent.

Great tent

Good size for 2 people. Camped in Canada for 5 nights and temps got into the 20s*F. Easy to setup and super sturdy. Rained for a couple days and the inside stayed 100% dry. The included footprint is great. No complaints. Great tent.

Sturdy, Roomy, and Easy Setup

I've used this tent in various conditions this year, including heavy wind and rain. It has held up spectacularly. I stayed warm in dry during a heavy early fall downpour. It's an easy one person pitch and I love that you can easily put the fly down from inside if needed. Very spacious inside and I love that the doors tuck away inside into their own pockets when open.

Great 3-person Tent
1 month ago
WE LOVE THIS TENT! It is so easy to set up, I did it in 10 minutes. It perfectly fits our double sleeping pad, and we still have space in our tent. Super great update from our 2-person tent. The size is perfect for packing and lightweight, and we're super stoked to take it on some longer backpacking trips.

Great Tent. Easy to put together. probably could fit more like 3.5 or 4 in a pinch. Quality seems high. Love the door on both sides. Rain cover kept the rain out over a couple days of use in the rain. Like the tarp that comes with it to put down on the ground first to protect the tent.

Favorite MHW Tent! I have this tent and it is the perfect size for two people and there is still a ton of space for my gear to be placed in that remaining space. Three people can fit very comfortable. Easy tent to set up as well!

It's Big

I bought this to replace a 2 person tent and it's big. Appears to be well made and the added bonus is the footprint is included. I have not used it yet, but look forward to putting it into play.
