Heavier than advertised
2 months ago
After setting up the tent and evaluating it in my living room I’m going to return it. It’s probably a serviceable tent for backpacking but not what I expected for the price. First off the weight is NOT accurate, packaged weight is 4lbs 4oz which is 12oz heavier than advertised and that’s without a footprint that costs $100 and is advertised to weigh another 8-9oz. So ad at least 20oz to your expectations. Secondly, the floor is very thin, slippery, and stretchy, it seems likely to snag on anything pointy and rip. The vestibules are very small and the little triangle corners seem likely a gimmick to not look like a boring rectangle. Takes extra stakes to make them work so I’d rather not have them there.

Great Tent
4 months ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent works great; simple and fast set up. 2 adults and a 6yr old. Sleeps great head to foot. Handles condensation well in 25-29degree nights. Also great size for an air mattress when car camping, yet light enough for the longer backpacking/hunt trip.
Yes , I recommend this product
