 Great tent Aug 26, 2007
By Shirl
This is a great tent. First set-up took some time, second set-up at campsite in dark went fast. It rained for 36 hours with various degree's of intensities and the tent stayed dry. Kept the door and the vents open, with the rain fly zipped, the air movement helped with the dampness. Lots of storage pockets. The shape is nice as you have extra space by the door and you can put your bed towards the back. Great expandable carry bag has room for a ground cover. The stakes are light duty, you will need to match the stacks to the type of ground your camped on. The front vestibule adds a lot of extra space. Enjoyed this tent.

Nice and dry... Jul 31, 2007

We have had this tent pitched on our property since we received it about five days ago. The rainfly was put to the test when we had a day of non-stop rain. I'm happy to report that, even with no tarp under the tent, the tent stayed dry. We plan to take it on a proper camping trip soon!

 good tent for the price but has it flaws Jul 07, 2008
By netscorer
If you want spacious tent for two that will keep you dry and well-ventilated at the budget price, you can select much worse then Columbia's Hawk Ridge 10x7 feet dome.
Goodies:
- good-quality construction from brand-name manufacturer at affordable price (sixty two dollars at the time of the review)
- tent stays dry, grounded and well-ventialted in any weather that mother nature can throw at you, which is most important when it comes to tents.
- excellent main vestibule entry gives more then enough space to comfortably enter/exit the tent and allows (due to the extra sixth pole for the rain fly) to keep it open in most weather, even in rain
- two additional smaller vestibules (again, available only if you put a rain fly on) at each end of the tent provide plenty of space for your gear and boots
- plenty of pockets inside, including can-holder, even though there is no remote light as Amazon description states.
- provided carry bag has nice expandable feature, so you can pretty easily put your tent back into it, once folded. With good folding technique you would even find space for additional tarp in this bag.
Not so hot:
- floor plan does not allow more then two people to feel comfortable in this tent. Stated 10 by 7 feet is only true at the center of the tent as tent features diamond layout. So this tent may be too big (and heavy) for one person, but too small for more then two, unless you have small child or a pet with you.
- heavy package, making this tent usable only when you don't have to carry it over long distances (good for car or canoe camping, bad for hiking destinations)
- six different poles make it more difficult to assemble comparing to more conventional two-pole designs. It is not too bad, as with some practice one person can set up basic tent in ~ 10 minutes and add rain-fly in another 10 minutes. But if time is at premium, I would advice against this tent
- mesh screen is not durable. I would afraid to keep my dog in this tent as he will ruin the screen with simple paw tapping
- very little sky view compared to other tents. The only mesh screens on top of the tent are providing the view only from the center of the tent. If you like your tent to be view-friendly, try a different tent
- provided stakes bend easily and are not advisable for long-time use. It is highly recommended to purchase MSR Ground Hog Stake Kit available on this site as a supplement if you don't already have good quality stakes from older tents.
Overall, I would give this tent three stars, with one bonus star for the affordable price.

Great Tent Jun 25, 2008
By Ppkamik

As always the shipping times were perfect.
Is true that you have to give it a try in your yard before go camping since the design of the tent is not the usual and you may get confused. It took us one hour the complete set up and the disassemble (two persons).
The tent stayed dry when we went to camping.
I certainly recommend this tent if you want to stay dry.

GREAT Sep 30, 2008
By Chelsey
I love this tent, its much nicer than the one we had before it. It was so easy to assemble and kept all the creepy crawlies out. I love all of the windows and vents. There is enough room for the two of us (adults) and our two large dogs (boxer and amer. pitbull ter.) with room for a bag or two. I totally recommend this tent.
