Overall this tent preformed well. Kept us dry when needed. However, the Carry bag has developed 2-3 tears in it which is unacceptable. I was very conscientious with my equipment. Called Big Agness to get a replacement bag and it is unavailable. I really didn’t want to return the whole tent but it’s my only option. Tent functioned fine, kept us dry when needed etc. I’m not a big fan of their door system setup on the model. You have double zippers on each side of the outer skin which are hard to reach and the oddly shaped plastic ties are impossible to undo. They also have these velcro round “stays” which constantly get in the way of the zipper. I think since I have to return everything to REI I’ll look into a different 3P backpacking tent. BTW… I’ve had 3 Big Agness Tents prior & was very happy with each.

Awesome tent for taller people
2 months ago
I’m a taller guy at 6’5” so a lot of tents didn’t have the room I needed. I finally bit the bullet and bought this tent and I’m so happy I did. It’s been through several rainy nights already and kept us completely dry and warm. Plenty of room for my girlfriend and I to stretch out and super useful gear lofts.
