Excellent tent! Just spent a rainy windy weekend and the tent performed flawlessly with no leaks or problems. Believe me, it got tested this past weekend.

I think it's a stretch calling it a 4 man but for the wife and I it's perfect. It is a bit heavy but I pack it on the back of a motorcycle so weight isn't a factor and I think its survivability is due to its heavier construction.

"Have used this fortress for both canoe and car trips. The half star rating is for something that may be a plus in the north shirld or Alaska - The weave on the netting does not allow enough air through the tent in hot, windless weather. Sure does keep out the bugs."

"Did not get to see how it does in the rain but as for ease of putting it up and size I really like this tent. I took it on a 5-night trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Four guys, our sizes are 5'9", 5'11", and two at 6'0". All average build. We were not cramped at all."

"We have used the Outfitter version (slightly heavier construction) for scouts for years and have never considered switching. We usually put 2 scouts in a timberline 4, or 3 if we have an odd number. Very rugged, standing up to years of use and abuse."

"My family has been using a this tent for about 15 years and it's still as good as the day I bought it. With a typical three trips a year this tent is all that and a dry night sleep in the worst weather. Weight is irrelevent as we canoe, and it is very roomy."

"Simple to set up, all time classic. My 24-year-old Timberline 4 is more watertight than my brand new Nomad 6.1! XT version with front and rear vestibules (window on front) makes it bombproof."

"This tent is a hoss! if you want something that is superhuge compared to the weight, tough as a tent could be, and weatherable enough for rain (heavy), snow (heavy) and heat and cold (lots) this is it. I bought the tent with the add on vestuble--yea I'm gonna get another one, it's huge, enough space for three packs and boots (with orgainization of course)."

"The Timberline series of tent is the most popular backpacking tent of all time for good reason. It gets very good ventilation, stays dry in driving rain and will last for years, even if you abuse it! The Stormshield fly keeps the rain out, but lets the condensation out."

"I've owned a 2 man timberline for over 8 years and simply love it. It's not the fanciest, not the lightest and definetly not the latest high-tech whizbang tent, but it's tough, durable and keeps me dry constantly.

My Boy Scout troop uses timberline 4 man tents and they seriously go thru hell on a regular basis."

"This is my family tent for 3 season use. I don't use it in winter or on glaciers as it has no vestibule. The timberline 4 is very roomy and comfotable. It sets up easily and tight. The rainfly has good coverage and is a no-brainer to put on. The materials and workmanship of this tried and true free standing A-frame tent are top notch."
