Chinook Long Star 3-Person Fiberglass Pole Tent Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this tent because as a first-timer, I was looking for something easy to use and reasonably priced. This tent was extremely easy for one person to set up (though the directions say something about a sleeve which I've still never found...) and at 7' by 7', it is roomy enough for me and my dog to sleep comfortably. (Before I bought it, I used painters' tape to lay out a 7' by 7' square on the floor to make sure my big sleeping bag, gear, dog, and I would all fit inside comfortably). I'm not sure how it will hold up to the test of time- it does feel very light and I question just how sturdy it is, but I had it set up in some significant winds and it did just fine. One of the features I really like is having the front vestibule. It's very handy for putting things that you want out of view, but not necessarily in your tent- hiking boots, dog towels, etc. The vestibule has two openings - one on the front and one on the side, which is kind of hard to see in pictures. The tent comes in a small bag, and is light to carry. It is ideal for 1-2 people. 3 would be kind of tough to cram in here though, someone would definitely be touching the walls of the tent- never good for keeping dry. One downer is that if you want to have the windows of the tent open, you have to go around to the outside of the tent to open them on the fly. Also, you'll want to get some decent tent stakes- the ones that come with it aren't really that sturdy and bent the first time I used them. Other than those small inconveniences, I've been very happy with this tent. I'll update once I've had to use it in some weather to let you know how it holds up. I've already waterproofed it with some Camp-Dry, but we'll see how well it does in a rain.
Update: Had some rain this weekend, and it did great- no leaks. I did use three cans of Camp Dry, which may have been overkill, but I was very impressed with how sturdy it felt in the wind and with the fact that even the corners stayed nice and dry.
