Reviewed by Justin Peterson, Feb 12, 2007

"I have owned many tents over the years, and the Hammerhead is by far the best. It is a very roomy 3-person tent and has plenty of headroom. My seven-year-old daughter can stand up without hitting her head. Recently backpacked the Salmon River Trail where it was to rain all night and sure enough it did, and the Hammerhead stayed dry all night."

Ok so there's 10 of us guys. We all have tried numerous tents over the last 10 years. We've been hard core Island Campers. You name it all the cheap brands, even back to some old 350 lb. army tents we used!!

I will say this Hammerhead 3 was my ticket, held up thru 3, 2 hour pouring rains and wind across the water around 40mph + and no one problem!! Not so quick to pop up in pitch black night, but if you "feel it" this sets up in less than 10 mins.

"This is a great tent! Picked it up on clearance due to floor model. Have used it numerous times in weather ranging from below freezing to lower 90s (fall-early summer) without problems. With the rain fly on it's tight as a drum. I had one trip where it rained two days straight with hard downpours at times and not a drop inside."

"Yes, I lucked out and got the Hammerhead 3 at the last as-is sale at REI for $69. Obviously this makes it an amazing tent for the money. It was returned because the original purchaser felt it was too heavy. For a three person tent it is not that bad."

"Although difficult to pay so much for a tent, I was thrilled at its performance, especially when it poured on us in the middle of the night! We didn't get a drop of rain in the tent!

Flexibility when it comes to venting options with the convertible roof and venting panels are outstanding."
