Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This tent was packaged well. Easy to follow directions and was very simple to set up. I am an Eagle Scout and have been camping for over 35 years so the tent was pretty intuitive to set up. It says "Weathertec - guarenteed to keep you dry" on the outside. I read everything for sealing instructions prior to taking this to the woods. No requirements for sealing included and in fact it said all seams taped. I felt pretty confident. The weekend was calling for temps in the 50's and rain (not hard... just drizzle). I opened and tested the setup prior to camp. It was easy and seemed large enough. I took it out and had it set in approximately 30 seconds. The tent was spacious for two 6'2 guys and gear (cots) sleeping gear small packs and room to spare. It was shorter than expected and a bit smaller than I hoped... topping off about 5'5" at a guess and very tight with a cot (it touched the wall on both ends). The worst was the rain. It held up well to the first 1/2 hour or so but soon it was leaking. By 2am... it was damp... by morning there was about a cup of water in the floor. And the walls were soaked. The bathtub floor retained all the water. It leaked very badly. From seemingly every pore. The second night I spent alone in the dead center. Sleeping bag was soaked the tent was soaked and everything I had was damp even though it was in a chair or on a cot. It took over a day to dry the tent out to ship it back. All this from a light drizzle. Less than 1/2 inch of rain over two days. The firewood on the ground outside was dryer than the personals in my tent. On a scale of 1-10 Ease of set up 10, keeping out bugs 10, big windows 10... this could be a great shelter on a clear day but waterproof 1.
