Good tent for the money
By JED
Purchased at Cabela’s for $120. So much better than any cheapo tent you get at wal-mart. Can withstand wind and rain, will not blow over and will keep you dry. Have used approx 30 nights in last 6 months, did break one of the fibreglass poles but was able to fix, will probably replace with aluminum alloy poles because of excessive use. Just big enough for queen size inflatable mattress, not much extra room. Great tent for 2 people to camp comfortably. At first thought 2 doors was excessive but can’t imagine with only one door after I got used to it. Vestibules very handy to keep things dry. Could use some extra ventilation in rainfly.

wanted to love it
By epicjourney
My first impression of this tent straight out of the box was that it was a little heavy at around 11 lbs but then i figured that i wouldn’t be hauling a four person tent by myself and the weight could be split between two or more people so I wasn’t that concerned. After setting the tent up without the rain fly in my living room, I was extremely impressed. There was plenty of room for me, the wife and my son for a comfortable nights sleep. The double doors were a plus and the zippers were extremely smooth and quiet. The entire tent is made up of mesh with a bathtub floor which provides for good ventilation. The seams are all taped which is a plus for a tent at this price point, however the floor of the tent has a seem on the bottom in the middle of the tent floor which is a big negative even though it is also taped. I set up the tent with the rain fly in my back yard on a windy day (20-30mph). The vestibules where fairly roomy but after being set up for about 20 minutes, one of the poles gave way and one side of the tent collapsed. I set it back up and about 10 minutes later it was collapsed again. This time one of the fiberglass poles was snapped in half and ripped a hole through the rain fly. The fiberglass poles are very unstable and heavy. Also the non vestibule sides of the rain fly touched the side of the mesh on the inner wall of the tent. Even if the rain fly is guyed out it does not fix this problem. I really think this would be a great tent if the poles were aluminum. I returned this tent and will probably opt for a Kelty brand.

First night I used this was in a long rainstorm. It did a good job of keeping the water out.
Although the rainfly did let a very small amount of rain in through the zipper.
It looks good, it’s pretty quick to set up, it’s light for its function and size, and there are doors on both sides. There are four big pockets on the inside also. There are also four loop hangers, one in each corner. Also, the zippers pull very easily, most of the time you can use one hand.
There are two poles that run horizontally across the top of the tent. They are supposed to give more room at the top, by flattening out that area. But the difference wasn’t very big. Also it is somewhat difficult to line up the rainfly patches onto the poles. These patches are supposed to go line up over the poles so there is less chance of tearing the fly.
There are four attachable cords, one for each corner. At first I thought they were for pulling the rainfly off the tent to keep the water off, but it turns out there is a velcro loop on the inside of the rainfly that attaches to the fiberglass poles at each corner. So they don’t pull the rainfly off of the tent, but they help hugely with stability in the wind. I had a late night setup one night in a too-small area. The wind kicked up in the morning and almost flattened the tent. I was able to attach the small cords at each corner the next night (in a new location, but still very windy) and it made a world of difference.
Maybe someone can explain this part; there are 3 stake holes at each entrance, 2 by the zipper (one on each side). I can’t really see the point of putting a stake in the hole left of the zipper. It just keeps the fly in the way so you have to step over it to get in/out.
Another FYI, the bottom is thin. The material is pretty high quality, but just be aware that you’ll definitely want a footprint or tarp (smaller than the tent’s dimensions), if you will use the tent in areas where a puncture is possible.
I found this tent on sale at my local sports store for $75, so Amazon’s $115 seems a bit high.
Overall it’s a very good tent, and if treated well the durability should be pretty good.
