Reader Reviews
This is a great tent for a variety of reasons. Having 4 large windows keeps this tent relatively cool even on hot days and having the rainfly with deep, large overhangs is fantastic. I had 2 of the windows opened at least 2/3 the way while it was raining and not a drop of water even came near the windows. The tent and fly are made of a very respectable weight for waterproofing purposes. Though others have mentioned seam sealing it, I've had it in a respectable rainstorm and not a drop of water came in, though it's still reasonably new (perhaps for next camping season I should consider seam sealing it). There are 2 very deep vents at the top of the tent that allow superior air flow even if the windows are closed up (i.e., you can use a catalytic heater in it without worry of asphyxiating). It is sharp as can be when set up and makes other campers wonder where they can get one. It has some nice interior features such as a gear loft (I don't use mine only because I like to be able to stand up), a sizeable detachable corner 2 shelf unit, a small detachable triangular shaped mesh storage bag and 2 bottle holders. I use a cot in mine as well as a camping closet/dresser/storage unit and have ample room for either a chair and a potra-potty inside if I'm alone or space for another full cot if someone else is with me. I am an above knee amputee (who wears a prosthesis) who camps alone much of the time and can set this up in under 10 minutes by myself without difficulty.
Two things to watch out for: 1. the rainfly can be a bit clumsy to put on if it's windy since it is almost kite-like. 2. I don't like the plastic stakes that come with this at all - I highly recommend the 10" nail-type stakes (the ones with the green on top that has a hole in it to attach the fly). The nail-type stakes work great in both soft ground (not sand) and in more rocky terrain.
For an individual or family who camps more than twice a year, the purchase of this tent is a no-brainer. Sure, you can get a tent about the same size for about 1/3 the cost, but you'll regret it compared to what you get with this tent. With proper care there's no reason this tent shouldn't last 7-10 years for the frequent camper. In fact, most people would give up camping before this tent would give up on them.
