SwissGear Two Room Family Dome Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got one of this tents two years ago (by the way is black/olive like the one in the picture). In general terms I can say that is a very good tent but only for "not rainy days". As everything in this world it has some pros and cons.
Pros:
1) Its size, huge and comfortable inside for up to five adults in sleeping bags. If you want to use an air matress space is reduced(two full bed matresses don't fit inside).
2) Good quality materials. Fabrics are waterproof.
3)Easy to set up. In fact only one persona can assemble it. Two people make it easier and faster.
4) Privacy. I mean it has privacy windows.
5) Separate storage bags for poles and stakes and one general bag for all.
6) It has some (small) pocket(?) storages in one wall, and it comes with a small net to hang it from the ceiling to put stuff.
7) Good ventilation and no condensation inside, no matter I use a coleman propane heater.
Cons:
1) Not enough vertical space at center. My heigh is 5.90 ft and it is not very comfortable inside, particularly if we consider the net in the ceiling I mentioned.
2) Rainfly does not covers very well all the windows but under rain never leaked from there.
3) Yes, it is water resistant but seams are not waterproof. Under a heavy rain or a long lasting ligh rain it will leak from the seams and probably (just happened once) from the floor. My suggestion is to add some sealer in the seams in the tent and in the rainfly every time you go out, just to be sure you will be dry and comfortable inside.
In general terms I can say I love it. Easy to transport, easy to set up and enough room for me and my wife and all our stuff (the heater, two or three backpacks) a little conventional camping stove and some other little things. But, every time we go out, I have to seal all the seems just to be sure that we will be dry inside. This is the only problem I see in this tent.
