Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This tent was in the approximate size range I was looking for. From the pictures the tent looked more red, but to my surprise it was burnt orange.
I'm very concerned how well this tent will hold up to the rain. The seams are not taped or sealed in anyway I could find. I set it up and have attempted to seal the seams with some silicon fabric water-proofing. The single pole on the back side is suppose to slide into a re-enforced pocket. The area where it goes looks like two pieces of tent fabric that overlap. Not as sturdy as I would expect for a single pole supporting the backside of the tent.
On the inside of the tent, in the back two corners, there is a short pole attached to the top of each corner. This is to provide support. Over the front of the tent is a small overhang. This really needed to be a bit larger to provide some rain protection for the door opening.
The last piece of info is trying to get this tent folded up to fit back into the carry bag. I almost made it, after 3 attempts. (zipper is closed on one end) One of the reasons for so many attempts was those back short wall poles on the inside of the tent. They were turned the wrong way and didn't want to bend into thirds. On the next attempts I made sure to find those poles and get them aligned in the correct direction.
This could be a good tent if you are just going camping during ideal weather, but I wouldn't want to depend on it during rain to keep my gear dry.
