 Great, Economical 3 Season Tent Nov 16, 2006
By Mark Kosobiecki
I've had this tent over a year and used it enough to let you know that for this price, there's probably not a better tent out there unless you need something designed for cold weather. I've camped out in this tent down to about 38 degrees with a decent sleeping bag and felt no ill effects.
The tent is a pretty basic dome tent that takes about 15 minutes to get up using the included poles and stakes. A nice feature on this tent is the two "legs" that extend from the basic dome. They have easy access from the outside and they're great for storing gear that would otherwise take up valuable floor space.
The tent is made from a lightweight nylon with a heavier, tub style bottom to keep the moisture out. The tent itself has open windows/vents on top but when covered with the supplied fly it does feel like an enclosed tent. I've camped in this through a night of rain and we remained dry inside with our gear. The zippers on the doors and windows worked normally without any complaints and did there job as well.
While this tent is listed as being able to sleep 4 people, it would be a very tight squeeze. I fit a queen size air mattress in it with not much room to spare except for the "legs". To me, this is more of a 2 or maybe 3 person tent but I think you would be hard pressed to fit 4 people in.
The tent comes with all the necessary poles and stakes and stores in the included storage bag. The assembly instructions are actually sewn onto the storage bag so there always there if you need them.
I would have given this tent 5 stars but, it shouldn't be listed as a 4 person tent. However, for a 2/3 person tent that isn't going to be used for extreme conditions, this tent is a great buy.

 NOT WATER PROOF Jul 23, 2006
By C. Tremarzo
Don't waste your money buying this tent. I went on a week-long camping trip, and the second night, we had a rain storm. It rained IN THE TENT. The rain fly did nothing, water was dripping from the ceiling, and all down the sides. I was so dissapointed, not to mention soaking wet. I plan on returning it asap.
