Great tent for the cost

by Angela, from OH, United States Written on April 7, 2018
Great tent. It is truly a 2 person unlike many other 2 man backpacking tents. My husband is a big guy and we fit fine. There are just a few drawbacks. The elastic on the rainfly stretched way out first use in real wind. Just tied them up shorter. The corner seams take a lot of tension and began to pull apart. I restitched them and seam sealed. It isnt the easiest to put up alone but can be done with a little finagiling. Harder to take down alone but also can be done okay. Just easier with help. Stands up to heavy winds and storms that flattened other tents. Excellent breathability in humid and cold conditions. No condensation issues. Amazing on a clear night without the rainfly! I have searched and considered buying other tents for backpacking but just cannot justify the cost for a more highend tent when this one is so awesome. Could be lighter but with 2 people splitting the weight it isnt bad. And with all the room it isnt worth giving up the space. This is a great tent for two, especially if on a budget.
Pros:
  • comparable to expensive alternatives
  • Great in storms
  • Extra roomy for 2
Cons:
  • Longer setup and takedown
  • elastic gives out quickly
  • Seams are stressed
Best Used for:
  • Car camping or backpacking for 2
Would recommend: Yes
