User Review: REI Taj 3

This is a spacious and lightweight tent (for the size) that has served me well on family outings. We had no trouble fitting three Thermarests inside (one is 2/3 length and one is narrower on the bottom) and there was still plenty of room inside for storage of small items.

The drawback is that the tent is very drafty. In order to make it lightweight, and possibly to avoid accumulation of moisture, the ceiling is made of mesh. This combined with the large volume, makes it much colder than my smaller mountain tents. I end up using warmer sleeping bags and since our toddler doesn't like a mummy bag, we avoid camping when is much cooler than freezing.

A fine 2-3 person tent for warmer temperatures. The space is invaluable under rainy weather and for general cavorting ;-)
