Satisfyingly swift, even when your fingers feel like frozen sausages. Inside, it’s surprisingly spacious, like a secret sanctuary where you can stretch out and stash all your stuff without feeling smothered.

Not a fan. The tent is nice quality, I have other alps tents and products and have been a fan, but there is one major con in my mind regarding the setup of this tent. It has a dual hubbed main pole that runs from either door to the other, and then there is a second pole that runs across the middle (sidewalls). After that, there are TWO MORE poles for the fly itself, and this is what I don't like, you have to thread the poles through a little pole tunnel on the underneath side of the fly. This is something I just really found inconvenient, especially since I purchased as a 4 season tent. If conditions are extreme, I want something easier to setup, so I've went with a different option. There are several different designs which I think are better, however this tent is quality made, and the weight isn't too bad, so if you can settle with the design, then get it now while its on clearance and you've got a super budget friendly 4 season tent.
This is an amazing tent. the construction is amazing. it has a great full coverage fly and it’s tall! Anyone who gives this tent less than 5 stars has obviously never been camping before! This is an amazing Value for the money!!! I have owned multiple 4 season tents, this one was originally purchased for our kiddo, however after seeing it we are thinking about buying another.
