By Luke from River Falls, WI on 08/11/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual 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 car camping. The second time we used the tent it rained and was a little windy. The rain fly leaked, the floor seams leaked and with the first gust of wind the tent actually collapsed. We had to stay in a friend's cheap tent and their tent worked fine, so it wasn't a huge storm. On top of all of these issues the seam ripped where the tent stakes in two locations. Not a very sturdy tent.
Havent used it..but have set it up. By RS from St Paul MN on 06/05/2009 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Lightweight, Very inexpensive Cons: Fly tricky to set up, Will it be durable Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This replaces another more sturdy tent whose fly deteriorated. We car camp, and from the setup this seems that it will work. We havent gotten it wet, so this is a question mark. The fabric is lighter weight than the other dome, but shouldnt be a problem for our use. I dont think this tent is made for rugged use. It is easy to set up, except for the fly. I struggled with the fly by myself. Two people should handle it easily. This tent seems to be a good deal.
By May Day Mama from Midcoast Maine on 05/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We used the tent for the first time car camping. It poured and the winds were very flukey and we stayed dry except for a couple of spots that may have been condensation drip. Otherwise we and our belongings stayed dry and cosy.
By Wet camper from Boston on 08/17/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought this specifically for car camping. Was not expecting the world's best tent but have been disappointed by leaking fly and floor edges in moderate to heavy rain. Still, it sets up easily and is otherwise a serviceable tent. Try sealing the seams?
By Asst. Scoutmaster from Manistique, MI on 08/09/2008 Cons: Difficult To Setup, Flimsy Construction, Fly could be better Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Used the tent for the second time (see review above) for a week long scout camp. All was well until an extrememly hard downpour that lasted a good 45 minutes. The floor seams leaked horibly and I lost some gear and a good bird book to an inch of standing water along the floor seams. The fly leaked through as well. Another night, a medium-hard rain found more leaks through the fly. I will try seam sealer; if it fails...will sell cheap!
By Chuck from Wauwatosa WI on 07/17/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This tent is nice and roomy and will work well until the first drop of rain falls. Then, look out! It leaks from all directions.
Good price but bad in weather By Dino from New Berlin Wi. on 07/14/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I used this tent on a cross state bicycle tour. Twice it rained and twice my gear got wet. The second time the fly actually blew off. Thus filling the floor with water. I'm not too happy with it's performance.

By jns from Chicago, IL on 07/01/2008 Cons: Plastic tarp flooring, Poorly sealed Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I set this up in the backyard for a fun campout with two kids. Set-up was no problem. Wind and rain was a big problem. The tent blew away. It was empty at the time. It was fully staked down on all four corners in non-sandy soil. We caught it about 75 feet away. There was heavy rain overnight. The tent leaked bad. It was dripping everywhere. Not just floor seam leakage. We gave up in the middle of the night and slept in the house. I've never had any problems drying a nylon tent in a dryer - except for this tent. The plastic tarp floor deformed. The tent is a total loss.
By Jim from Woodstock on 06/17/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Directions inadaquate, Stakes inadequate Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Have only set up the tent once to make sure it was in good shape. It was. You defenitly want to set it up before going anywhere as the directions are inadaquite. Tying the top needs to be done before seting up the poles. The little wire stakes seemed inadiquite. Other than that the tent was roomy, waterproof and stayed up in high winds without the quy ropes.
