Great tent great price Sep 06, 2007
By Alex S.
"longbrass"
This is a nice large tent, it comfortably sleeps 3 people can easily fit 4 (but you all should be really good friends). It will easily fit 2 Large-XLarge air mattresses as well as gear.
I've used it in the woods and got it wet and the rain dodger and floor were dry as a bone.
I just returned from Burning Man and I have to say it held up admirably. The zippered windows and door remained dust-free. The only draw-back in that environment was the large vent on the roof, there is no way to zipper it shut. Usually the dodger covers the vent so you don't have to worry but when dealing with talk-like dust it's best to cover over it with a non-permeable material. I used plastic and pillow bunting to cremate a makeshift dust filter and it worked well.
It was also able to withstand 50 mph winds. If you get this tent you can have people over for a small party.

Great family tent May 29, 2007
By Quest
This is a nice sized tent at the right price. We were able to fit an XL cot, one play pen and two sleeping bags with room to walk down the middle. Nice! One key feature we liked was the fact that all the windows came with a zip up flap. Even with the rain fly on, you could still use the windows. The mesh roof is nice and cool, but works against you when the weather gets chilly. Even with the rain fly on it, the tent vents well and keeps everything in the low temps.
It is a two pole style tent with a third pole to prop up the windows. It was a challenge to do this by myself and would recommend having two people. But hey, it is a family tent so even the kids can help out. The fourth pole is for the rain fly should you decide to use it.
Our only complaint was the oval shaped door. It required you to unzip most of it to get into the tent comfortably. The "D" style doors on other tents were much easier to use. It did have a nice side access port that I suppose could be used for shoes and such things (not a pet though since it has a tunnel sleeve on it.) We didn't use the e-port for a cord, but my son used it to pass flashlights and other small objects though without opening the door to the tent.
And unfortunately, the duffle bag that came with it requires way too much work for me to fit the tent back in it. But it is nice. Who can get those things back into the bag anyway?

very nice tent, needs 2 to assemble without cracking poles. plenty of room for 2 with queen air mattress and all the gear you can stow.
Airy and not ugly.
works like a tent should May 12, 2007

Nice size, does take 2 to set up to avoid cracking of the poles. My main requirement for getting a tent is that it has windows/doors on all 4 sides, this one does as well as the large roof mesh skylight.
Would be nice if it had some method to help sweep it out since the bottom lip on the front door is about 8 inches high, but a dustpan is not that much more to pack to assist with that.
It didn't rain on us this trip so can't comment on the wet weather capabilities, but it looks like it will handle it well.
