 Nice tent, good size, not very easy to set up Sep 12, 2006
By J. Moore
The tent is a good size, 7.5 X 7.5 with a square floor, allowing us to set up in smaller areas but have good space inside. Good ventilation from the Cyclone vents. The tent leaked moderately in a heavy downpour. I did not seal the seams before the trip. I'm one of those people that believe you shouldn't have to. I've had other tents that didn't leak a drop with any seam sealer applied but I will for this tent for future camps. The floor is made up of the regular tent material... nothing reinforced like in a lot of tents. Looks like it could tear or damage easily as it's really thin. I would recommend something to put underneath. The four poles to set up the tent wasn't a big deal to use but getting them through the actual pole sleeves proved frustrating, even after 6 setups.
Overall though, I would buy this tent again. Slap on some seam sealer and buy a tent pad to protect the floor.

Good ventilation but difficult to set up Feb 06, 2006
By Erwin H. Banzon

I got this tent at a good discount before the price went up again by another $5 so I guess it had good value for money. Ventilation was all it said it was with the tent fly strategically designed that you get good air flow. I was able to stay inside on a hot day without the usual discomfort with my other full fly tent. However, the 4-pole system is difficult to set-up and requires at least 2 people to set it up although 3 is probably preferable.
One issue I have though is the missing hanging loft. The description and parts list indicates a hanging loft as part of the whole set, but mine did not have one, probably a silent exchange for the higher discount originally given.
A good tent overall, but minus 1 star for difficulty to set up and 1 star for missing the hanging loft.

quality and a good price Jul 28, 2006
By Miss Katri
I saw a display model of this tent in a local camping store. It has all the features in the description and would certainly accomodate 2 people and their gear. I ordered one from Amazon before I saw the display model and realized that what I needed was a tent with a rainfly that goes down to the ground as I will be camping in the desert. The roof of the tent is almost entirely mesh, which would certainly help cool it but wouldn't keep the dust out. I think it would be a great summer car camping tent as it's probably too heavy for backpacking.

 Bad design! Oct 06, 2007
By W. Christensen
When this tent arrived we immediately set it up in our living room. This was the most frustrating tent I have ever tried to set up, even with 2 people. There are twice as many poles as should be necessary, they are cheap/poor quality fiberglass, and they barely fit through the "loops" on the top of the tent. It took us about 30 minutes to set it up (without the rain fly) and about 5 minutes to decide to return it to Amazon. I would never want to experience that amount of frustration while on a vacation.
We replaced it with a Mountain Hardwear Light Wave 3. The day the new tent arrived, my wife was able to set it up completely by herself in 4 minutes.

 A good tent with decent ventilation Mar 23, 2008
By Gerard Brady
"Jerry Brady"
This is a decent tent, with above average ventilation, decent quality, and very stable in wind and rain.
I used this in a winter setting, with some rain, freezing rain, snow, and strong winds - with no leakage and the tent was very stable. It's not quite an expedition or all-out 4 season tent, but I would use it in the winter again.
The ventilation system is nice, and for two people it would be pretty roomy - three is pushing the limits, but it seems that most tents are overrated by at least 1 occupant.
I was pleasantly surprised by the carrying case, It had two zippers and compression straps and actually fit the tent after it's first use - seemingly a miracle compared to other tents I've had.
The tent was easy enough for one person to put together, but the poles do get caught going through the sleeves... The pay-off is that the long sleeves seem to add to the structure and stability.
Overall I'd recommend this tent - but keep an eye on the price as it varies wildly. I bought it at the lowest price I've ever seen after keeping an eye out for a while and saved 50% from it's price today.
