Great tent - so far | |
| Rating: |  |
| I haven't camped since survival training in the Navy a long time ago. As a new camper, I may not be the best reviewer but this tent has no reviews yet, so something is better than nothing. First, the setup diagram that Mountain Hardwear provides is not very helpful (I am being kind). It might work for an experienced camper who understands the difference between the actual "tent" and the "tent fly". Once I figured out the diagram, the tent went up fairly quickly, but I must have stared at that diagram for an hour in total. It looks like you only need the provided guy lines if you want to want strengthen the inside of the tent from the wind (the tent has loops inside) and if you want to attach guy lines to the tent fly ( you will also need extra stakes). A book does comes with the tent, but again - it is hard to understand if you are a newbie. Once the tent was finally set up, it was pretty amazing. My last tent was a pup tent, if I recall correctly. It has a door on each side, with a main door and a screen door for each opening. The vesituble on each side of the tent fly provides some protection for items you want to store outside the main tent. I was the only occupant, so it had plenty of room. It also has some storage areas on two sides to keep things off the floor. The tent poles and stakes look like excellent quality. Once the tent is set up, it looks extremely secure from the elements. It also has two windows for ventiliation, but can't see anything because of the tent fly on the outside. Not sure what else to say. It is probably not the lightest tent out there, but if you value the extra space and durability of a two man, four season tent, the weight can be justified. I look forward to my first backcountry adventure with it. The bright orange color is cool, although some people may think it stands out too much from nature's background, which fortunately doesn't bother me. It looks like it is going to be a great tent, and I would recommend it. | |

bomb proof!!! | |

| have used the tent on one trip to mammoth a few weeks ago. simply haven't had it long enough to use it more. simple to set up. great construction from what i've seen so far. absolutely waterproof!!!! was in torrential summer downpour several days in a row and it kept everything out. couple nights were chilly where everything was very wet with dew. not a single drop of condensation formed inside. it was totally dry. the vestibules are killer and room. it is a little tight getting in/out of the vestibules though, but well worth the trade off for the weather proofness it affords. at over 9 lbs it may be a little on the heavy side for packing. it really is a beeyatchen tent though and it looks great. turns heads. love the two door design and all the stow pockets built into it (like 6 or so). killer tent. glad i got it. stays anchored to the ground solidly, though i haven't been in very windy conditions yet. buy one. | |

Good tent...not perfect | |
| Rating: |  |
| Used this tent for a week in Northern Michigan. The tent was very waterproof as it rained steadily for three days with no leaks. No condensation either. Tent is roomy with good headroom. There are plenty of pockets for gear stashing. However, set up and take down seemed tedious and slow as compared to other tents I've used. Getting in and out of the tent was difficult. Look at the picture of the tent with the vestibule unzipped and you should see what I mean. You really have to bend and crouch to manipulate the small opening. There are also two poles and stakes right in front of the doors that I tripped on often while exiting the tent. All in all a sturdy, weatherproof tent, but for the price I expected better. | |
