Customer Reviews

I recently purchased this tent from Academy Sports ; Outdoors on clearance for $37 dollars. The reason for purchase was a short notice backpacking trip. My old tent was long gone and I hadn't backpacked in years. I needed something... now. I would recommend setting it up at home before an excursion. (I didn't) I also pitched the directions (not advisable) Yet the tent was erected with ease! After returning home I timed the set up at 4:50 by myself, taking my time to still be cautious.
It's free-standing, all-mesh (great view), with two pockets, and about 5 loops (4 corners plus a center) on the ceiling - looks as though a universal gear loft would attach. Its great for lights, watch, thermometer etc.
Size wise, I had no issues with two full sized adults, gear and packs will need to be stowed under the single vestibule. I found the attached rainfly/vestibule and pole attachments are conveniently color coded by sides so that setup is simplified. The rainfly attaches with buckles that can be sinched tight. My only complaint is that the the tent has only one door, and one vestibule. Its not too big a deal but I'm convinced a good two person tent should have two doors. If this tent had two doors and two vestibules it would be a spitting-image of the Mountain Hardware Skyledge 2.1. Which is $350 and 3lbs 7oz.
For a temporary tent, (my purchase reason) and the once-in-a-while backpacker/car camper this tent is fantastic. Backpackers will find it heavy at nearly 7 pounds. But if you are with a partner, just split the weight. (all in the poles by the way) You may want a compression sack for it. I tossed the tent bag and pole bags as they are useless, and stuffed it in my sleeping bag compartment of my pack, and the poles in my packs' side pockets. If you don't plan on staking the tent (I didn't) in mild wind it was just fine. But you will need a single stake for the vestibule to work. Because the rainfly lays over the poles there is significant room between it and the tents' mesh. Making it very breathable. I had no condensation issues.
If stored properly and cared for this tent should last for many years, it appears to be well built.

First of all, I would like to say I ordered this product on a holiday weekend, and still received it two days later, so I was very impressed with the shipping.
I bought this tent knowing it was going to be small, more like a one man tent, cause they always are. You could fit two people in it, but not comfortably, unless you like to cuddle. Not much room for gear either.
I wanted a tent for myself, being a female Scout leader, I did not want a big tent. I usually sleep in the Scout trailor, but there are times we camp without taking the trailer or we are not allowed to keep the trailer in site, so this is perfect. I have not used it yet, but I cannot wait to try it out. I set it up as soon as I got it, to make sure all the parts were there. Set up is easy and fast, which is another reason I bought this. I like the clip-on style set-up. It will be great for the boys in the Troop to use for their camping merit badge. Not the lightest tent, but easy enough for the boys to pack to go to outpost for the nite. I like the full rainfly too. Like I said, I knew what I was buying and I'm very impressed with it so far. If I have any problems with it when I use it, I will post back and let ya'll know.
