Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I use a tent once a year when I attend a 4 day music festival. This year, I needed to buy a tent because I was unable to borrow. I did quite a bit of research and found that this one would fit all of my needs and stay within my price range.
Assembly:
This tent could not have been easier to set up. There were no tricky pole sleeves (which can rip if you are not careful) and there are only 3 poles which cuts down the confusion. The directions are pretty straightforward but did not include any information about the footprint. The footprint placement is easy enough to figure out and we had no trouble getting the tent together quickly. I don't know much about tents at all so further directions about what I should do with the roap/string would have been nice. Also included was a small metal tube which I wasn't sure about. But without using either of those items the tent was sturdy and stood well.
Size:
The tent is listed as a 3 person tent but I had only planned on using it for two and having extra space for storage. I wouldn't imagine that 3 people would sleep comfortably in this tent - two was plenty. We inflated a queen size air mattress which fit perfectly inside (though there was no room for anything else). We ended up using the car for storing our gear, but it would have been nice to keep some of it in the tent.
Comfort:
My main concern with buying a tent was the water resistance. I have always had problems with dew and moisture getting into the tent from the ground. Well, the footprint solved all of these problems and kept everything nice and dry. We did get a little bit of rain and the tent did well with keeping that out too.
Because we were camping in a field and not under trees it did get very hot in the tent (especially with the rain fly. There was not much air circulation so battery operated fans were helpful.
Accessibility:
Getting in and out of the tent was easy, especially with doors on either side. The "vestibule" was a nice place to keep muddy shoes. Mostly, I feel that the vestibule just gave us extra rain protection - keeping the water further from the entrance to the tent. I wasn't familiar with what a vestibule was before getting this tent - so do not get the impression that you could store gear here unless you were okay with it getting damp.
I think that this tent is a great buy!
