This was an easy to use and set up tent. I did have a slight issue with the rain fly entrance, but it was minimal and took a bit of time to get used to. Very easy to set up with only one person.

Had five minutes to get this tent up. Did it. Threw my gear in and later added the rain fly in the dark. Easy! Before the muggy TX thunderstorm. Stayed dry and cool with the great mesh upper. Can't wait to see how it does in the other 3 seasons.

I bought this tent for car camping with our 2 dogs. I own a 2 man Kelty tent that is small for backpacking. This tent gives us alot more room. Enough room for 2 sleeping pads and a dog bed.

The tent set-up is easy. 4 metal poles are thick and solid. They are pre-bent to give the walls a steeper pitch. Two poles go across the top to help make the walls more vertical.
The whole upper part of the tent is see through mesh. Without the rainfly on, the views are awesome of the night sky. I think it will help keep the tent cooler in the summer.
The rainfly is deep and well made. It fits the tent like a glove. Guy-lines are on all sides to make it stable in wind.
The quick clips are big and firm.
All the seams are taped, but I will use seam sealer anyway.
The vestas are also bigger than expected/2 of them. The doors are big and the zippers work well.

Rolled up and stuffing in its carry bag is a bit tricky. Its rather large, bulky and heavy to put on a backpack. Thats my only reason for 4 stars.

This is a great tent, it is perfect for my family of 4. I can set it up by myself in about 5 minutes.

The only thing I don't care for is the pea soup color, would rather have a darker blue or charcoal grey where the green is. I'm able to pack this tent on my motorcycle and have huge comfort when I hit the campsites. Poles are nice and short for storage, goes up easy and I can stand hunkered over to change clothes inside instead of squirming like a worm on a hot rock trying to get dressed in a smaller tent. Since I camp mostly by myself the room to store everything inside is a welcome relief. This tent is fantastic.

Like the design and ease of set-up. Great for car camping with 2 or 3 people. 4 campers in this tent would be too tight for comfort. Haven't experienced rain yet but it seems to be sturdy in windy conditions.

It's a great weekend camping tent! Big enough to change clothes in and two doors make in and out easy for two. Haven't had it in any bad weather but I'm sure it does fine. My last kelty is 20yrs old and I've only had to seam seal the fly! Great product for [$]!
