Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I want to add some details for people who might be shy about this tent because of the price. I’ve included pictures of these details because nobody else has. My impression of the materials is that they are solid and well put together. The nylon is mid weight and can be pulled taught without me fearing it will part. The mosquito netting is very fine, not as fine as some, but I do not expect anything to get through it (see pic)The side lines are fastened to the tent by triangular gussets (see pic). I did not see anybody properly guying out the vents in the back of the tent (see my pic) this a very nice feature. The front screen AND the front door can be separately curtained back by two sets of toggles in the door flaps and on the screen flaps, this is a nice feature. The bottom is made of a solid thickness of poly tarp like material. I like the color of the tent and the floor, it is all the same dye lot. The loops at the two end peaks have grommets in them and are also loops themselves, not just tabs, so it gives numerous options to pitch, you don’t need hiking poles. One end can be to a tree and the other the same or if you need you can use a stick. A lot of people talk about condensation, but that is a skill thing not a tent thing.this and any tent always need a tarp over for the most comfort. The dew point is always right at the fabric so condensation always happens. Properly using a tarp over this tent will eliminate the condensation, and this tent can be used in colder weather. I used a eureka solo and almost froze because it allowed too much air through right at ground level. The size is nice, much bigger than a standard pup tent. I can sit up in the tent and change comfortably. I am 6’2 and weigh 235 right now. Two people my size would be crowded but I would be fine taking my daughter and our gear into the tent but she’s about 5’ now, so gear would go at her feet. It has a whole 6” at my head and feet laying down. The whole package packs down to a football sized package. The stakes are steel and I will replace with aluminum. The package is about two pounds. All seams in any tent need to be seam sealed, this is no exception, the stitching is great but every tent must be seam sealed always. I would never trust even the most expensive tent for that. I recommend setting the tent up and attaching the guy ropes so you don’t have to do that in the rain the first time you use it. I am an experienced camper and this tent took me about ten minutes including tying all guy ropes so I’m thinking a couple minutes will do. If you have set up a meshbtent then had to go back and throw the rain fly over it and secure it down separately you will only have to erect this tent for a water proof space you can throw your gear in and then pitch the tarp over for your front porch. I give this two thumbs up, it should last years with the right care.
