Price Paid: $29.95

Used this tent for a full month in the rainy cascades. It worked just fine BUT...the poles split..used duct tape..wrapped the tape around the poles..and after that they worked just fine. Probably increased the weight by half a pound. This is water repellent..not waterproof..used a full can of silicon water repellent on the seams...

This is a cheap tent...don't place the opening against the wind in rainy conditions...with a little care I stayed very dry and had the satisfaction of explaining to my fellow campers how I had more room and was just as dry as they were in their Mont-something $300 tents.

Twice I came to the tent and found about an ounce of water on the floor...and that was due to my bad placement. A great tent at the price...you just need to be a bit more careful with placement and waterproofing
