Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars
Design: 3-pole semi-geodesic
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Reasonably easy to set up but unfortunately can't set up outer before inner
Price Paid: $250

I have confidence in this tent because it's as strong as an ox and is pretty much self-supporting. However, I've *never* been happy with the way I've set it up -- either the porch is too small, or there are gaps between the canvas and the ground. The supposedly waterproof floor simply isn't, and -- critically -- I have often ended up with wet feet because my toes are squashed against the end of the tent. So it's strong enough to instill confidence but I wouldn't buy one again.
