Decent for the Money
By Jeremy Stoshick
Ranked #85 - 3-Season Tents
August 21, 2009
I have both a 2 and 3 person of this model. Somewhat roomy and decent overall design but they make you pay more for a footprint - Marmot comes with a footprint and costs less but I like this design better & they were not available when I needed to buy.
As far as being waterproof, I think it is more resistant. I have been in a few light storms and stayed dry but the rain fly was soaked though and with a little more rain I am sure I would be taking a shower.
Overall, decent value for the money. Packs lite for the size but NOT really small. Easy & fast to set up. Hey, what can you expect for a low $$ tent? But anything from BackCountry is the bomb b/c if it starts to suck or get under your skin, SEND IT BACK!! :-)
