"The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because I am sure there are "better" tents available, but they are most likely more expensive. The best thing about this tent is the overhangs formed on either side when the rainfly is on. Use one for a dry exit and entry point where you can keep your …"  Read Full Review »

"This tent is great, and the value for the price is even better. It's heavier than more expensive two-person tents, but its also got a lot more room than most of my buddy's tents. So cut a deal where you carry the tent and they carry the sleeping bags (or water if you're kind of a bad person). The …"  Read Full Review »

"When I paddle and camp, I use a North Face Roadrunner 3, but this is mostly due to my being 6' 2" and 240 lbs. It's hard for me to comfortably fit myself and my gear into anything less than a 3-person tent. (I use a Big Agnes long bag and a BA air pad.) But when it came time to do some backpackin …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a really great tent for the price. Very easy to set up and take down by yourself. Although a little on the heavy side, it is a two person tent with a slightly larger footprint than most (a good thing most of the time!) If you're sharing and splitting up weight for essentials on a backpacking …"  Read Full Review »
