Excellent backpacking tent

"I've taken this tent to Washington state, Texas, the Everglades and everywhere in between. It holds up amazing under all circumstances, with out the rain fly on it stays nice and cool, with it on, the tent stays unbelivably dry. I added the optional storage attic, and it adds a lot of storage space. The only thing that should have been added is a vent on the fly. All things considered I love this tent!..."

Sweet night viewing, nice construction!

★★★★★

5.0

"I like the material weight, seems sturdy yet lightweight enough to use for backpacking. I would use it backpacking, canoe and kayak camping and also cross country to set up at parks when needed.

I like the all one side door, leaves lots of room to get in and out. Also like the all screen to view …" Read Full Review »

Light, Roomy but not Perfect

★★★★☆

4.0

"Sets up very easily in 2-3 minutes. Well made except it is not 100% waterproof. We have drips in moderate rain. I believe it comes through the areas where there are velcro attachments for the fly to the frame. I may return if the problem repeats. "
