 Survived heavy rain and wind Mar 05, 2007
By James D Mcgee
"Camper Dad"
I have just returned from a Boy Scout campout. It was the first time I've used this tent and I was very pleased. The instructions said two people were required for set up, but I did it by myself with no problems at all. I'm 5'11 and 220 pounds and I thought it had plenty of room. When we got to the campsite, we discovered that the forcast had changed to high winds and heavy rain. It rained for the next 24 hours. The tent never leaked once! The ventilation was excellent as I had no condensation problems. It froze Saturday night, yet I still had no condensation problems. The two vestibules were great. I only needed one to keep my very muddy boots out of the tent. This tent is billed as a two-person tent, but I wouldn't use it as such barring some kind of emergency situation. It's not really big enough for two grown men, but it was perfect for one. Other things I really liked are the aluminum poles. They seemed well made and very sturdy, yet light. The tent stakes are aluminum but thicker gauge that most Coleman tent stakes. A very nice plus is the stuff sack that the tent stores in. Unlike so many other tents you purchase that require a PhD in Physics to get the tent back in, this tent fits easily back into it's sturdy bag. It even has a zipper to widen the bag some. This came in handy because I always use a ground tarp and was able to keep the tarp in the same bag as the tent.
Inside the tent has mesh gear pockets to keep stuff in. It's well designed with velcro closures and even 2 pen pockets. The only flaw I found is that once you have your stuff in it, it would either hang down over your face (not acceptable) or dangle against your feet. It didn't keep me awake or bother me too much, but moving it to the side or corner would have been better.
The tent had very good headroom; a couple of inches more than other comperable tents I considered. This makes all the difference when your getting dressed! The tent included a mesh gear loft but I didn't use it. I like the headroom. However, the gear loft is well designed to keep items from falling out if you're so inclined. The vestibule windows were nice to let in the moonlight.
Final analysis: great tent for the price. Factory-sealed seams worked with no problem even in very hard rain. I'd recommend this tent.
Happy camping!

What a View Sep 08, 2005
By Caroline Kreiser
Love this tent! If you leave the fly off you have a amazing view all around (does not compare to the little rooftop mesh openings). It is a great value, and does pack down quite compact. Easy set-up. Having two doors is great, and the vestibules are good size. And I think it's pretty too...

Excellent for the $$$ Nov 02, 2006
By J. Godfrey
I bought this tent for a last minute camping trip on the Virginia shore, on the beach. I was a bit concerned because the area I was camping in is right on the ocean and exposed to the elements. Low and behold, we were hit with pouring rains and high winds the first night of the trip. Much to my surprise and delight, the tent withstood the storm through the entire night and there wasn't a single drop of water in the tent. The guidelines and extra cover to the tent did their job and I was cozy and dry the whole night. I absolutely recommend this tent to anyone who is looking for good quality at a low price. Plus, I think it's a pretty cute design :)

 Good, but not floored Nov 25, 2007
By Jack Bauer
I use tents in the desert at Fort Irwin, and use a Bradley tarp underneath. Even with the tarp, after about 10 nights total spent in the tent, the floor already has holes in it. The floor material is just too thin. I cannot even see how the material of the floor would ever hold up to wet weather if you didn't use a tarp underneath. I should say I am conscientious about putting my boots in the vestibule, but still - that floor material is just way too thin.
