Summary

Sturdy tent for a good price. Great for camping and backpacking. Warm on cold nights (with rainfly) and cool on hot nights (without rainfly).

Pros

  • Sturdy
  • Long, spacious
  • Warm
  • Easy to set up

Cons

  • Heavy (if carrying solo)

Great tent! Sturdy, free standing design is easy to move around without having to dismantle it. Great for 2 people or 1 person with gear inside (which isn't necessary due to the large vestibules provided by the rainfly). Inside has small netting storage pouches as well as a gear loft.

I used this tent on a snow camping trip and did not even know it had snowed until I got out of the tent, thanks to the excellent rainfly. On summer nights, without the rainfly, you get a great view of the stars. Long enough for tall people (I'm 6'6") and warm enough for cold nights.

Best used for car camping and backpacking, although it is a little bit heavy to carry on your own.

All in all, a solid tent that I recommend to all of my friends.
