Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I like the look and color combo of this tent, it is symmetrical, and all the seams of the fly, and the floor of the tent were seam tapped but I took the suggestions of more experienced campers and seam sealed the fly and floor. The tent is well constructed....the floor has a 5000mm coating, fly has a 2000mm coating which will help with the durability and rain proofing, aluminum poles seem high quality when in hand....the tent can be easily put together in under 5min by yourself which comes in handy when its about to pour. Materials seem high grade, well put together, & design makes sense. The dual vestibules are spacious and provide plenty of space for extra gear and vent from the bottom + you can tie a side back to ventilate as well, doors are dual zippered and can be closed or become a screen door for better ventilation....a lot of the other tents I looked at didn't have this option and were either all screen or no screen or just door...this design is great for summer or cold weather use and you can adjust according to your liking, options are good.
Took this tent out for the first time a few weeks ago, in short I got to the campsite and the sky turned dark. I didn't realize that the campsite didn't drain very well and setup the tent in what became a pond/mud hole...bath tub floor worked and no leaks anywhere inside. So during my trip it rained most of the time and all my gear stayed dry and there were no leaks or drips. When staked out with just the metal stakes the tent seems strong, with the addition of the included guy lines attached will no doubt hold up to some bad weather/wind/ rain/snow....don't know about blizzard conditions/ect...so in those conditions I may consider the !Tundraline, !K-2, MSR, or NF-VE 25/35.
I would suggest getting some better stakes as the ones included bend easily (I bent one pretty bad hammering it in a hurry due to rain), a tarp to protect the floor, and to seam seal the floor seams and fly. This tent would be tight for 3 people, I had a themarest large in there with all my gear and it was comfortable, for 2 people side by side with gear it would be good fit but 3 people with gear it would be real close-eureka timberline 4xt has many of the similar features and maybe a better fit for 3 people. As far a weight its about 8-8.5 lbs. split between 2 hikers it would be do-able depending on weight preferences.
Overall this is a good well constructed outdoor shelter for the price and I hope to get alot of years of camping fun from this tent. I look forward to taking this tent to the mountains and beach. When I clock some more adventures with this tent I will try to review again to see if it holds up well long-term.
