Buyer beware

Ranked #380 - Family Camping Tents
February 1, 2007
We love the design of this tent for family camping, but were disappointed in the durability of the fabric. The poles are very, very snug and seem to exert too much pressure on the outer sleeve of the tent. We had holes appearing in the fabric after only a couple of uses. I patched them up because we like the layout of the tent( the rainfly makes a great "front porch" for gear storage overnight). But next time we buy a tent, I will look at another brand.
