Ranked #1538 - 3-Season Tents
August 17, 2009
Have the 2005 version, blue. Love the tent. However, this year the rainfly has begun to deteriorate. Warranty does not cover this. I am disappointed. I have had tents for 18 years (NF ve-25) which is still going strong.
Nice tent, but won't last more than 5 years with use.

I have used mine extensively for 10 years without any issue at all. Of course you have to care for the tent by cleaning and storing it properly, but I don't pamper it at all and it still has held up fine.
