Stoic Templum 3 Tent - 3-Season w/ Footprint and Gear Loft - 2011 BCS

Well, I would say this is a good tent at it's price. It's got a lot of mesh, but let me tell you, if it's below 40 degrees at night, you don't want this tent! BRRRRRRRRRR.... I also don't like that you have to push the poles through seams, weird. The gear loft is nice, but not nice enough to make me use this tent again backpacking. I'm setting it up in the basement for my daughter to play in.

Sets up easy rain fly works well footprint is great! No leaks so far!
Great tent for the price and the initial impression is awesome Ill see how it lasts

This tent arrived quickly via UPS, It was rolled up so perfectly in its duffel bag I almost did not want to to take it out. But I did. I set it up in my backyard for a test run...It was very easy to set up for me, but my daughters could not bend the pole enough to get the end in the holder thing at the bottom of the tent. After the three of us got inside we realized we would not like each other much if we had to sleep so close together..I rolled it up as best I could using the "sushi" rolling method, I could not get everything back in the bag with out a ton of effort....I think this is a great tent for two people. Two doors, two vestibules, its an awesome deal for all that is included...

Purchased this tent for a three night trip through Pintler Wilderness in Montana. Held up well through a rainstorm, easy to set up.Repacks easily as long as you roll the footprint,tent and fly all together. Was only two of us, but could have slept three but it would be tight. Two knocks would be there is not enough stakes for the footprint, and the footprint is not big enough to extent into the vestibule area which would be nice to keep your gear clean and dry. Overall, would recommend this tent to anyone.

The tent is east to setup, calss for two people to set it up, however set it up by myself. Light weight, compact. Will wright another review after my trip to WV for some whitewater rafting. The zipper works great. So far love this tent.

Just got the Stoic Templum Tent, calls for two person setup, did it by myself, so the setup was easy. Seems to be a nice tent. Cannot wait to try it out while camping.

We purchased this tent to take with us as we tour on our motorcycles. Light weight, easy to pack, a snap to set up, and just perfect for the two of us.

This tent is the first I have ever purchased and I am thrilled with it. Super easy to set up (only 2 poles!) and easy to pack. It rained and rained the first time I used it--the fly is 100% waterproof, not one leak! I do recommend putting a tarp under the footprint though.
I would definitely consider this a 2 person + gear or 2 person + dog sized tent. I can't imagine squishing in a 3rd person. Several little gear pockets and a gear hammock inside too.
Highly recommended!

First off - I'm a 58 yr old Grandma who's been "roughing it" in an RV for decades, so the fact that I could set this tent up the very first time in about 15 minutes, speaks volumes for the intuitive way it's constructed! Basically - it's impossible to set it up wrong.

There's ample room and it's tall enough that I didn't have to "duck-walk" to enter it. It seems VERY well-made; and yes, it all miraculously fits back in its stuff bag. I love the roof vent in the fly - that should make rainy nights a little more comfortable?

Granted - nothing is as comfy as a motorhome :-) But since THAT won't fit on my kayak, I think this tent will be just perfect!!

Took the Stoic out for the Coast walk here in Sydney Australia and it was brilliant. Not too heavy to carry, easy to erect, and easy to put away again. Deliberately got the 3 man version despite 2 people in each tent and have no regrets about it. Gear loft a real plus over other tents i have used.
A real value for money buy.

This tent worked great! It is easily a 3+ person tent. It fit Me (6'1") my 60L pack behind my head, my girlfriend and her 60L pack, our two dogs (german shepherd, and cattle dog) and there two pack with some room to spare. I thinking I need another dog to fill the space.

The tent was also really easy to set up. The two of us were able to set up the tent in complete darkness and it only took us about 10-15 minutes the first time. You can't beat this tent for the price and ease of assembly. It also goes back in the bag really easily.

It isn't the lightest tent of its size but its certainly the most bang for your buck! I would recommend this tent to anyone.

I just recently came back from a weekend of camping with my family and a friend of mine. During this time, we did experience some rain. Frankly, I was worried this tent may leak as the previous year, I dealt with a leaky tent, and with no seam seal, that made the trip miserable. I had a fantastic time though! My friend and I shared the Stoic tent, and we had plenty of room for the both of us (but I do think with a third person, it would feel cramped). I kept my gear under the vestibule, and not a drop reached any of my things. My friend and I were dry inside, even through heavier showers, and we had room to sit up and move around a bit. Much better trip than last year!

Just got this tent and set it up. Not sure how a rain fly with a Velcro opening in the top is supposed to keep rain out in windy conditions. Thin construction, probably fine for car campers, but wouldn't want to be out in the outback with this tent in a real rainstorm. Unfortunately, I am returning it.

This was a easy tent to set up. I was afraid because it was backcountry 's own brand but fear not it is a great deal.The stitching is very well constructed and sealed.The poles are very lite and well constructed aluminium. I spoke with Carly on the chat option and she was very helpful and eased my mind about getting this tent.

I went camping the day after I received the tent in, Hot Springs NC .It was easy to set up and came with a footprint.I was very nervous cause it looked to thin I thought it would let in all the rain and soak all my gear. To my surprise it rained for 5 hours and "bingo" not a drop of rain any where in the tent . If your looking for a deal this is your tent. Very roomy and peace of mind about not getting wet .

I bought this tent to use as a two person for High alpine hunting trips. I am 6'2" and weigh about 200 lbs and my hunting partner is about 6'0 220. It would be very difficult to get three of either one of us in this tent but I have noticed this is the case with most 3 person tents. I have used it on one trip into the Gross Ventre wilderness in wyoming. We hiked in 8 miles and set up camp at 9500 feet. We camped on top of the ridgeline and experienced high winds and rain for most of the night. The tent held up great with no leaks. I would recommend this tent to anyone who is serious about back country adventures. Not to mention it is a great deal with the foot print and gear loft included.

I am buying the 3-person for general car camping. I already purchased the 2 person model because of the good price point and also the good reviews. It did not let me down. Great little tent, set up easily, loved the gear loft and head room. Zipper did not seem cheap and the two doors with two vestibules was also a benefit. It is not as lightweight as a backpacker model but everything else about this brand is great quality for the value.

I use it for overnight canoe trips. I'd rather lose this great little inexpensive tent down the river rather than a great little expensive tent.

Used this tent once for some car camping..it rained all night, by morning water was dripping on us from somewhere above-maybe the Velcro vent in the top of the fly? was also disappointed in the zippers which are cheap and tend to get stuck easily.This tent is super roomy and comfortable foot print is a nice addition too. But overall i would not recommend this product, as it did not keep us dry! ----product return!---
