very happy
Yes , I recommend this product
Bought this product after a lot of consideration between this and marmot tents because of my price range. I wanted the rainfly buckle to tent design. Went with this tent because of the sale price. Loved the tent, very easy to set up and perfect size with a very nice vestibule. Low profile design but very roomy, i did not need to search very hard for a large enough spot to set the tent up. First time i used it we went a little to early for backpacking but me and my group of friends couldn't wait any longer after all our new gear from christmas. It got down to 18 degrees at night and snowed a little. Tent held great. nice and tight design, what little snow we got, most of it just rolled off. For the price I am very happy with the tent. Also the tent came with a very nice gear loft and total of i think 4 mesh pockets in the tent. The few things i can say against was that I ordered it online and the rainfly was not the same color as they showed in the picture. It was an orange and greenish. Not a big deal, also ordered the footprint. Footprint is very lightweight but i think slightly big. if i were to put the tent poles into both the tent strap and the footprint strap holes it was nowhere near tight. So for now im just staking down the footprint. But if you were to use just the rainfly and footprint it would work. Tent is also fairly heavy, but for the price range your not going to find much lighter. My friend Bought the much more expensive quarter-dome tent and it was about the same weight and packed size.

easy to setup lacks headroom
Yes , I recommend this product
We used this 2 times already both car camping but getting ready to take it a little further out...it has held up well last trip it dipped into the low 30's and was nice and warm in the tent. No experience with rain yet but we are expecting the best. It does lack a little in interior headroom, but makes up for it in the 6 interior gear storage spaces. Its a nice tent and we are excited to break her in as we venture further and further from home!
