Rating: ![]()
Design: three-season tent

Weight: 2 or 4 lbs
Price Paid: $129.66
PROS:

fast pitch

CONS:
vestibule non-functional for anything but basic shoe storage without some innovative guy lines

EXPERIENCE:
Spent a couple days out on a fishing trip on some rapids in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. Rained 48 hours straight, camped next to the Gratiot River Falls which also misted the camp area after the rain raised the water level 16". Tent stayed dry inside, and circulated humidity inside very well. For casual, non-technical camping, this tent scores well for its ease of use and lightweight design. Would recommend to someone looking in the <$150 price range.
