→ Pros

  • Campers who purchased the tent mentioned: That it is very lightweight! It is a quality constructed tent, and the 4p version was a good fit for a 6' person and two dogs, one of which is a Great Dane, comfortably with room to spare. After purchased this tent for my weekend backpacking trips and I don't regret it one bit. It was straightforward to set up and has plenty of room inside for someone 6 foot 330lbs, along with his wife, and their gear. It packs well on top of a backpack, and the 6lbs of weight is not that heavy for short weekend trips. Well built and engineered. It comes with a great rain flap and is very robust in its build. The canopy that stores items overhead is useful. A perfect 3-season tent. Super easy to put together with one person in 3-5 minutes.
  • Super-sized double door and rear D-shaped door lead to two side vestibules to keep all your gear dry
  • Zone Pre-Bend Construction Creates Vertical Walls, More Roomy Sleeping Area and Greater Head Room
  • Lamp Shade Pocket Securely Holds Your Headlamp to Provide Ambient Light
  • → Cons

  • Campers who bought the tent noted: The interior space is enough for sleeping, but there's not much room for anything else besides your sleeping essentials. They also wished it had a vent in the fly. One reviewer mentioned that the gear loft is not included with the tent even though the description says so on Amazon. One of the pockets was not well sewn. The footprint that came with this tent needs to be fixed to the ground separately. If you hold it with the tent poles, it will be quite loose. Secondly, it would be better if the door was not vertical angled would be better.
