"We took our brand new Tarn 3 out camping a few weekends ago, right in the middle of a rain and wind storm (just to give you an idea I'm estimating 60 mm of rain and 60 km/hr winds the one night). While our friend's tent ripped and leaked, we stayed comfortably dry."

"I owened a Tarn 3 for several years. I'm in the middle of selling it because it goes through poles like you would never believe. I've had a pole snap on three different trips. It could be me, but I'm starting to believe it's the tent. I think tents should be able to take a little bit of guff, like being picked up and moved (while empty) without snapping a pole."

"* Oh My God! * I love this tent! Mine's now nine years old.

Read below for the big AHA!!

I have an earlier model with the door that is attached on the bottom, and if you investigate, the door or screen or both velcro into the leading edge of the floor."

"The best tent I've ever owned. It isn't particularily stable in wind but it's roomy, easy to erect, and fairly waterproof. I lived in it for three months and never felt cramped. Ventilation is very good and the fixtures (zippers, velcro attachment systems, poles) seem to be quite durable."

"I'm sorry but MEC sells amazing products. . . they do not get enough credit for their merchandise because they don't pay off people to get good reviews. MEC is by far one of the best outdoor companies out there hands down. Arc'Teryx. . . Marmot etc = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ why spend $600 on an Arc'Teryx jacket that barely makes it past the check out counter without falling apart."

"The tent is very light, compact when packed, and roomy when set up. A previous reviewer says that the fly is tight and problematic, perhaps they have corrected it because I did not have that problem at all. The fly fit well and connected easily. I am very happy with my Tarn 3."
