Decent car-camping tent
By D. Askov
Bought this at the mega-bigbox sporting goods store when I needed a tent in a hurry. It says it is for four people, but you'd be packed in there pretty tight. We scored three foam mattresses out of a boy scout cabin and they fit in there just perfectly. It'd probably be ok for 4 if some of the group are smaller kids. Anyhow, just keep that in mind and compare the floor sizes with other tents you're considering.

It was VERY rainy and windy the two nights we went. The tent didn't leak at all, and we did absolutely no seam sealing or waterproofing of it. I really like the quiet zippers that don't wake up the whole campground every time you open them.

I think this would be a great tent for two campers, since you could turn 90 degrees and each would have their own door and vestibule on each side. It isn't too heavy, but you probably wouldn't take this backpacking, and who cares what it weighs when you're car camping.

The tent stakes are beyond lame. Just plan on replacing them. The stakes are L shaped, and worked ok for the tent, which doesn't really need them anyhow. It is free-standing. The horizontal part of the stake is so small, and the loops on the fly are so large, that the fly kept slipping off the stakes in the wind and our gear got a little wet. I tied a rope between the fly's loops and the tent stakes and had better luck. Anyhow, just plan on replacing the stakes, and you're good.

The tent is very fast to set up and has no sleeves to slide the poles through. The pole clips make setting the tent up a snap. My son helping made it go way faster, but I could have managed by myself. The fly is a real hassle to get the pole into, because you have to bend a very rigid tent pole to get it into the pockets on either end. Once you do, the fly goes on the tent in a snap. The tent is free-standing, but you'll need at least one stake in the front and back for the fly. Our gear stayed under the vestibules (outside the tent but under the fly) and stayed dry through some really nasty weather. The fly is lifted up just enough to allow a breeze through, but is basically pulled down almost to the ground to keep rain out.

All in all, I am very happy with this purchase for the cost. I'm sure I could get a better one, but everyone else was in what looked like sub-100 dollar tents, and they were jealous of us staying dry when everything in their tents got wet! The entire footprint of our tent stayed dry due to the design of the fly, and we weren't dealing with any running water. Thus, I can't really speak to whether the tent floor is really waterproof, but we were dry. I did not use it with a tarp or ground cloth underneath.

Very nice
By Noggin
I really like the tent. It stood up really well to the wind and rain. No wind or rain got through. Perfectly dry in the morning. I also used a two man Kelty in Africa for several weeks and it held up perfectly.
