Great bang for your buck!

"I have been winter camping in the Rockies for decades. I don't waste too much time on brand name. If you are smart with your gear it will last. This is a great tent. I have used it all winter long. Hiking, Climbing, Caving - this is the tent I use...." Read Full Review »

Cheap tent

"Plan on spending about $30+ more on seam sealer and waterproofing spray if you want to stay dry. Every stitched seam, I literally mean EVERY ONE, leaks unless you seal them. The rain fly seams are the worst - water doesn't drip, it POURS through. Floor is very thin and seams are right on the ground. Even after you seal it, don't expect it to last too long. This would be a great tent for camping in the back yar..." Read Full Review »

"Nice little tent for two, very easy to put up, very well ventilated, not super heavy duty construction, but not bad for the price. Not too big or bulky - light enough that it could be carried on a small hike. Probably not the tent for a serious hiker/camper but more than sufficient for the occasiona …"  Read Full Review »

"The tent is spacious for 2 people, easy to fit our airbed, the most important reason that I bought it. However, the nails are too weak. It is very difficult to hammer them into the ground. The worst thing is the tent is not brand new. There are dirt and small stones inside two ends of the poles. The …"  Read Full Review »

"This tent leaked all over when I got caught in a summer thunderstorm, not just on the floor or sides, but actually dripping through the roof. Might be better if you camp somewhere it does not rain. "

"After reading other reviews, I sealed the seams and sprayed waterproofing on the fly. However, we were lucky and escaped the rain the first use, so no verdict on its water repellant/resistant/proofing qualities. Two people set up the tent and fly easily, but I suspect it would be a real challenge …"  Read Full Review »
