Great Tent!

By Tim Berrett May 24, 2010

This is a great car camping tent! We have used it a couple of times so far and are looking forward to this great piece of gear to last a long time!

Pros:
It is a great size 6 person tent that actually fits 6 comfortably. I am 6ft 3in and can stand up in this thing too. The build quality is superb. I am impressed with the reinforcements everywhere there are clips. All the materials used for everything included is excellent... Poles, stakes, rain fly, even the duffel it comes in is awesome. We had some heavy rain over a couple of days the first time we used this. Water beaded up beautifully on the fly and not a drop of rain got in. The vestibule is big and tall on this. We had no problems with condensation either... the vents on the tent actually work. The clip to pole hub system is pretty slick.

Cons:
It is heavy, not that we plan on packing it anywhere though. Also, I have set it up with two people every time because it is much easier that way. The pole system takes some getting used to. I still don't feel like it is very smooth process to setup for me, even after practicing several times before our trips and after multiple trips with it. I think it is mostly related to the size of the tent and not the actual design. I am sure I will get more proficient at it from time and use.

Recommendation:
This is one awesome 6 person tent! I have experience with plenty of competing products and would recommend this over any of them. This has been a great buy!
