Looks are good, not sure of value By dj yates from Ephrata, WA on 09/12/2009 Best Uses: Beach, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We haven't had the chance to really use, from the setup in our backyard, it seems simple enough. Not sure of all the features, again, haven't been able to use. Looks great, some features we had in prevous tent. I would like to rate at another time due to this.
By batmick from San Diego, CA on 01/04/2009 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Spacious Cons: Collects Condensation, Extremely leaky, Flimsy Construction, Poor Fly Design Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: We purchased this tent for a family camping trip and it seemed ideal at first. The floorspace is amazing and setup was easy and quick. I am 6'4" and could stand nearly upright inside. There are plenty of doors and windows so ventilation is good. With the guylines it held up reasonably good in some gusty winds, considering the high profile.Then came the first rain. It was merely a light drizzle yet water made it inside the tent in record time. The fly is way too small but even where it did cover, it was pretty much useless. Water came through all seams, zippers and even through the material itself. We actually had to cut our visit to Sequoia NP short when a thunderstorm hit in the afternoon and we had to evacuate the tent and make a run for the nearest hotel. Fortunately, there were no further storms for the remainder of our trip but I bought two tarps to span over the tent, just in case. Needless to say I returned the tent after we got back home. [...]Bottom line: Buy this tent only if you are certain there will be no rain where you are camping.

Tent seems to be flimsy due to the winds we had. Entrance zipper seems to get caught a lot. Other than that, Spacious Tent!!

the leakiest tent I have ever had By labrador campers from NH/ME on 08/07/2008 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Sturdy Cons: Fly does not cover door, Not waterproof, Poor Fly Design Best Uses: None if it rains Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Water leaked through the fly and the top of the tent. all zippers leaked leading to standing water. we had to place many plastic sheets all over the tent to stop the leaks. zipper catches zipper cover frequently.
the tent is quite spacious.
By campin'gal from Boulder, CO on 06/16/2008 Best Uses: Inside another tent Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, Sierra Trading Post usually has great stuff, but this wasn't a high-scorer. First, it came missing two poles, so we had to use two from a different tent we have-not a good beginning to the weekend. Second, it leaked throughout the tent when it rained that night - lightly, i might add - even though i had seam-sealed the fly during the day, just to be on the safe side. Too bad, 'cause it has some nice features, and is easy to set up, but the leakage was definitely a deal-breaker!!!
By DAG from Berkeley, CA on 06/03/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Fly Works Well Best Uses: Beach, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: If you want a big tent that is easy to set up and provides lots of room, this is perfect.
nice size, not too big or too small By tm from Nebraska on 06/03/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like the size--it set up easily. I was disappointed at the thinness of the tent material. In fact, the fabric "pockets" that the poles insert into already have begun to show wear after only one use! (Although the tent did blow over due to high wind we weren't expecting and therefore didn't have it anchored yet--that may have stressed the pockets.
By arkansas camper from arkansas on 06/02/2008 Cons: Flimsy Construction, Not waterproof, Poor Fly Design Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Do not buy this tent if you plan to camp in the rain. Is not waterproof at all. Got rained on for 4 days straight and every time it was a nightmare. Bring your canoe to float away in.
