CUSTOMER REVIEW



This tent is really great! Had it for a month now. I'll just list pro's and cons to keep this review simple:

PROS

1 - Large! Lots of room and tall enough to stand!

2 - Roof vents! Keeps it cool.

3 - Large windows, front area towards the door is mostly screened - very nice!

4 - Fairly waterproof right out of the bag. Did not waterproof and left it out in a storm where we got 50mm of rain! (yes, 50!! It was coming down harder than I have ever seen... hail included.) There was only a very small (about a tbsp) puddle of water by one side.

5 - Seams are taped, fabrice is of good quality.

6 - Poles are very sturdy.

7 - SETS UP IN NO TIME! I am a 24 year old girl and did it by myself for the first time without reading instructions in 56 second (watched some videos on youtube before purchasing :))



CONS

1 - Tent is heavy and difficult to get back in the bag (like most tents)

2 - In the bag, it is quite long, and needs to be stored near the back of my Sunfire's trunk, or else it does not fit.

3 - tent pegs you get with it are CRAP. Spring for some better ones.

4 - Taking it down takes a bit of effort, although it still takes less time than a traditional tent. It's just a different kind of hassel with this one as you have to fold everything in very carefully so you don't pinch the fabric and tear a hole.



All in all, and awesome tent. We got new pegs, waterproofed the seams and fabric, and bring a tarp to put over top just for extra protection from very high volumes of water. Awesome tent, well worth the $$. :)

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I'm planning on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mexican border to Canada. The first few hundred miles are mostly rocky, and I wanted a true, free standing tent because I don't plan on carrying a hammer to pound stakes in. Although it's probably wise to stake the corners, this tent is truly free standing, even with the rain fly on. It was very tight putting it up the first time, so I left it up for a week in the house to let the fabric relax. It comes with a good stuff sack and the poles can be strapped independently to your pack.

Guide Gear 10x10' Teepee Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This Tee-pee worked out perfect for me. I took it out for a week long camping trip and one night it rained enough to where I was hoping this thing would float. Not a drop of water got in (seams are all taped) and I stayed cozy all night.



Few things to note, it does take a little longer to set up than the typical pin-and-pole tent, but it's worth it in the end. This latest model has a fully attached floor (unlike the older model)



I give it a 9/10. More on this tent at my site [...]

Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Backpacking 2 Person Tent

Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Backpacking 2 Person Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



As a first-time backpacker/camper, I bought this tent based on customer reviews for last year's model. I have to say, I could not be more pleased with how easy this tent was to set up. I set this tent up in 5-10 minutes after a very quick skim of the instructions -- and I had never set a tent up in my life. It's literally two poles and a few color-coded clips and, voila! I was one of the first out of 20 in camp to have my tent up, and this includes a few veteran campers.



I didn't read the instructions on how to attach the rain fly, thinking I wouldn't need it on my trip; however, with a 30% chance of rain, I had to set this up with no instructions. This, too, was very intuitive for a beginner.



I found this tent to be very light and didn't add much weight to my backpack at about 4lbs, 10oz packed. The 2 gear pockets and hooks were great for storing my stuff, and the zippers were smooth and pretty quiet. My tent was smaller than a few others' 2-person tents, but I am 5' 1", so room was not an issue for me. I think most people know that 2-person tents fit 2 snugly anyway.



Just as the reviews of last year's model stated, the stakes leave a bit to be desired. They bend quite easily, but I was glad they were included. It should be a while before I have to replace them.



It ended up not raining that night, so I'll update my review once I camp with this in inclement weather. Overall verdict -- Great tent!

Weanas® Waterproof Double Layer 2, 3, 4 Person 3 Season Aluminum Rod Double Skylight Outdoor Camping Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



My husband set up this tent on a rainy day to make sure it would stay dry inside before we used it. It poured all afternoon and was dry as a bone inside! My hubby and 2 sons slept in it that night while it drizzled. Hubby said it definitely stayed warm inside. A little too warm because they had to keep the door zipped shut with it raining. He had the vents on top open which are nice because they have a cover too. It will fit the 4 of us fine until my boys (8 and 4) get bigger then we will need another one. My husband is 6'5" so my boys are going to be tall too. Hubby said its nice and fits back in the small bag easily too.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



When I ordered this tent I thought it would be great. A 6' by 8' two person tent labeled as "great for backpacking." Unfortunately some things are too good to be true, so here is a list of pros and cons so you can make an informed decision before purchasing this tent.



PROS:

1. Lots of space - 6' by 8' design leaves plenty of room for you and storage, and if you are rather tall guy like me then you know what it is like to be cramped in normal tents!

2. View and breathablility - The tent without the rainfly offers some great views and you don't feel like you are in a tent at all as it is almost entirely screened in.

3. Price - This tent is very affordable for 2 person tents and it seems durable and long lasting.



CONS:

1. NOT FOR BACKPACKING

- Unless your idea of backpacking is parking the car and walking 100 yards into the woods then this is not the tent for you. Even with a large backpack you will be devoting almost half of your space to this tent, not to mention the 6-7 pound weight.

- The single pole design is also great but it requires you to use the stakes. In classic two pole tents, you can set up on almost any surface without having to worry about staking the tent to the ground; however, with this tent you must use the stakes to get the full dimensions of the tent. Although I recommend staking any tent, if you are using a tent just for sleeping under normal conditions, anyone can tell you the advantages to not having to worry about stakes on hard surfaces.



2. The rainfly

- Although the tent has some great pros without attaching the rainfly, putting it on can be a bear. Not to mention the fly is almost the same size and weight as the tent itself and it too requires stakes to be effective.



CONCLUSION: Don't purchase this tent with the presumption that you will be able to really backpack with it. The tent is great for a short hike, road trip, or concert but it is not for anyone that plans to go out for more than a day and still have room for any other gear. I would still recommend a classic two pole (although usually smaller size), easy to set up, small tent for any excursions. Besides, what kind of backpacker needs room for a queen size blow-up in his or her tent??? Good luck and I hope this helps

Ledge Tarantula Tent

Ledge Tarantula Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This is a great tent for the price. It has the same features as the expensive tents, but at a fraction of their price. pros- 2 doors so there is no having to crawl over one another, only around a pound heavier than the expensive tents, nice rain fly with vents and windows, cool tarantula logo, tarp floor that repels water(the expensive tents use the same material as the top to get it lighter, but it will absorb water), little loop on the ceiling for hanging a lantern etc, perfect size for two grown people, nice high ceiling so it doesn't condensate water vapor from breath in cold weather(the vents also help), rain fly door is nice to put shoes under so they don't get wet from dew or rain.

cons- doesn't pack very small(22in x 7in), i have to put it on the bottom of my 3400CI pack instead of inside.

overall, it is totally worth it if you don't have 300 dollars to spend on a "better" tent.



UPDATE: After using this on a few longer hikes, I have decided it is not quite worth it if you are looking for a really light tent. It is quite heavy, as other reviews state, and is not the best choice for long hikes. It is however great for park camping and is made quite well. Otherwise I would recommend opting for a lighter and more compact tent.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I ordered two day shipping, but the tent was on my doorstep in less than 24 hours! I had my brother time me and it only took me 2 minutes to set this tent up, stakes and rainfly included. There was a little condensation on the inside of the tent in the morning, but that is every tent. It rained all night one night, a light rain, not a monsoon or thunderstorm-type rain, and there were no leaks, and no water inside the tent. Don't know how it would hold up in more extreme rain. Great tent for the price.

Wenzel Blue Ridge 14x9 Feet 2 Room Seven Person Tent

Wenzel Blue Ridge 14x9 Feet 2 Room Seven Person Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I just purchased a new Wenzel Blue Ridge 14x9 by 6 high camping tent. The nice thing about this tent compared to others I have owned is that the poles once erected make the walls actually bend outward and up along the front and back, making for a roomier cabin inside. It gives the inside when looking from end to end a kind of fuselage shape like the cabin of an airplane. On the outside, it looks big but when you enter, it looks very large inside, seems bigger inside than out. The optional hanging wall attaches easily and makes for a nice room separator with a center zipper and can make a good room for another single person. With my queen air mattress inflated, there are many positions it can be placed at inside, with a lot of spare room for your inside accessories, clothes, equipment, etc. It comes with a nice roof fly that protects you from rain sufficiently. The only two drawbacks I can think of, is it would be nice if the front door awning came out a little more, and inserting the rods through the tent sleeves are a little challenging, but can become easier with a little practice. You get a couple of nice windows on each end of the tent and one attached with screen to the front door. All in all, I am very pleased with this tent and can hardly wait for summer!

Poco Divo 2-person Family Camping Dome Backpacking Tent

Poco Divo 2-person Family Camping Dome Backpacking Tent

CUSTOMER REVIEW



First off, if you're looking for a brand name, hardcore, upwards-of-a-hundred-dollars full fledged camping tent, stop reading here. Really. This tent is not in any way a serious camping tent designed for those people who live out in the wild on weekends, but if you're just someone looking for a way to get some quality backyard camping time with your family (or waiting for days for that New Year's in Times Square), this is the tent for you.



I'm just one of those parents that think my 2 kids need to spend more time outside and not watching television and thought camping in the backyard would be a really great idea. So I did what most people in need of a tent would do. I started to browse on Amazon. After several hours of clicking through pages and pages of camping tents, I finally set my weary eyes on this particular product. The fact that it was way cheaper than probably any other tent of likewise design definitely made my decision for me.



Shipping was fast and free (Prime privileges!) and it arrived at our home on the promised date. It was some time before I actually got the opportunity to break it out because it rained a bit for three days straight and I didn't want to take that chance. So, four days after I got it, I announced to my entire family of four that we will be camping in the backyard tonight.



Unlike what I envisioned it to be in my nightmares, they cooperated and it turned out to be a pretty fun, if slightly cramped, evening and a pleasant end to our day. With this experience I gladly recommend this Poco Divo Camping Dome Tent to anyone who dares try to get their family outside together but really needs a tent for that purpose. If you're going to live in it for a year, don't even bother.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



First off, if you're looking for a brand name, hardcore, upwards-of-a-hundred-dollars full fledged camping tent, stop reading here. Really. This tent is not in any way a serious camping tent designed for those people who live out in the wild on weekends, but if you're just someone looking for a way to get some quality backyard camping time with your family (or waiting for days for that New Year's in Times Square), this is the tent for you.



I'm just one of those parents that think my 2 kids need to spend more time outside and not watching television and thought camping in the backyard would be a really great idea. So I did what most people in need of a tent would do. I started to browse on Amazon. After several hours of clicking through pages and pages of camping tents, I finally set my weary eyes on this particular product. The fact that it was way cheaper than probably any other tent of likewise design definitely made my decision for me.

I bought this for my 6 year old grandson. I set it up as soon as I got it to make sure all the pieces were there. I am very happy with this tent. I think he will have a good time with it. I don't think it would last through a great many camping trips but for backyard fun, its great.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I just got the tent system in the mail and set it up. It's a brilliant and simple design that comfortably fits two people with a little room to spare.



Here are the details for the ultralighters that will want to know specifics and what they can trim down...



Inside the tent are loops on the roof for an included mesh gear loft. There's also a center loop if you wanted to hang a lamp.



All four corners have small pockets to hold some of your gear. You can see one of them in the main photo for this product. All four corners are the same.



There are fasteners to hold the main door open as well as both doors of the vestibule. With all doors open, you get a nice panoramic view of the outdoors through the front of the tent. However, with the rainfly on, you won't be able to see out in any other direction.



You can use the tent without the rain fly when weather permits. It will likely be my preferred way of using the tent. The large mesh upper allows for someone inside to feel like they're sleeping under the stars while being protected from bugs and debris falling from trees. If you needed to throw the rain fly on in a pinch, you could do it in less than 30 seconds thanks to the clip in fastening system for the rain fly. Furthermore, the rain fly can easily be tightened to the base with simple adjustment straps.



The tent is slightly wider on one end than the other lengthwise. I'm assuming this was designed in for users to sleep with their heads at the wider end and their feet and the narrower end. I only noticed this while folding up the tent. This feature really speaks to the fine details Kelty paid attention to in making the Salida 2 a very user friendly and versatile tent.



I will be discarding the plastic guy line tighteners. Instructions on how to use them were not included and they fray the guy lines themselves. I recommend using the running bowline to secure your guy line to the rain fly and a tautline hitch for securing to the included stakes. I already tied the knots into the guy lines so they're ready to go when I'm in the field.



The whole package out of the box weighs 73.6oz (4lbs 8.6 oz). This is with the two pieces of paper instructions and a plastic bag removed.



Main Bag: 1.25oz

Main Tent: 26.35oz (includes the gear loft which I tied in and rolled up inside the tent. I'd estimate that it weighs about 1oz.)

Poles with included Rubber Bands: 16.35oz

CUSTOMER REVIEW



We got this tent this spring to replace an OLD Coleman external frame tent that used to leak on us like a seive, even when all we had was a heavy dew. Anyway, this tent has performed like a champ for the camping we did this summer.



First of all, the plusses...and there are plenty:



1) This tent is EASY to set up. The external frame and tent never come apart, so you don't have a chance to lose anything. I have set the tent up on my own, but, frankly, it's easier to set up when you have the help of one other person.



2) The set up goes like this...after you have the tent out of its bag you reverse the bend of the corners of the external fram so the poles extend out and down rather than down and up (the way they are stored). Next, extend the four telescoping poles that go from the center of the tent to the four corners until they snap into position at their maximum extension. After you have done that you extend and vertical poles (I recommend doing the corners first) until they snap locked at their maximum extension. Then do the same for the side poles, and you are done with the basic set up. Lastly, use tent pegs to secure to corners and sides of the tent in place.



3) Our first outing it rained, but we stayed nice and dry (be sure to use a ground cloth or tarp under your tent). Thanks Coleman!



4) There are plently of windows in the tent, and the tent can be divided into two rooms - front and back.



5) The engineering of this tent is such that it is able to give and sway a bit in the wind, and that's nice.



6) The tent is made of good materials.



The minuses...



1) The carry bag that the tent comes in seems a bit too small when you try to put the tent back into it when you break camp, but with some grunting and impolite shoving it finally will go back in. (Why do tent engineers always make the bag always do this!?)



2) This is NOT a back-packing tent...i.e., it's HEAVY. That's OK for us, since we camp in campgrounds where we can drive close to where we set up camp.



3) The metal L-shaped tent pegs are inadequate for high wind conditions...and if the gusts are heavy enough the tent will slip out of these pegs and partially collapse...not what you want to have happen to you and your family at night..which leads me to the part of the review where I tell you how to make this 4-star tent into a 5-star tent.



Here's how to make your 4-star tent a 5-star tent. It's easy. The one significant weakness of this tent is that the tent pegs are not substantial enough to hold up to prolonged exposure to wind (and in Idaho where I live it can get mighty windy). So, to correct this flaw simply repalace the light-weight metal tent pegs with more substantial tent pegs, such as COGHLANS Tent Stakes / Pegs 9" ABS Tent Pegs Md: 9309. or Coghlan's Ltd Tent Pegs 12In Abs 6Pk 9312. A half dozen of these pegs will do the trick, and viola, you have a 5-star tent!



The last time we went camping (last week) I had the impression that I should throw some of our old tent pegs in with our gear, and I'm glad I did! They worked wonders.



I hope this review and suggestion was helpful to you.



So, without the alternative tent pegs, 4-stars.

All I can say is "Wow"!



Cheaper than most family tents, but actually keeps the rain out. I'm 30 minutes north of Seattle. Just unpacked and put up the tent this morning as soon as it arrived during an hour no rain break, then it started pooring. Eight hours of rain and it's still bone dry inside out in my backyard. I can't believe a 450mm shell/tent can do that.



More than enough room for our whole family, me, wife, 13yr and 1yr old daughters. Two big foam beds and a play pen to boot. I searched reviews all over the net trying to find a decent family tent and hoped the reviews I read about his one were all true, and I am happy to say they are. Coleman F-N rox.



The rain fly that covers the outside of the door is part of the whole rain fly (all one piece), there is actually room for three chairs to stay dry under it (picture misleads that it is smaller). I was just out there smoking a cig thinking, America still has a few great companies left that mean well for their customers.



The floor is not cheap tub tarp, it's decent. But, I still got two 6 x 8 cheap carpets @ lowes. Lesson learned from years of camping if you want your tent to last.



The front door is pure genius. The zippers are re-inforced and glide like butter. But, if you don't want to add tons of wear on your zipper (and we all know a tent is useless when the door zipper breaks, unless of course it's a coleman with this design), just don't zip it, and let the hinge spring it lightly shut. And the factory well placed velcro hold it shut.



But wait! that's not all! LOL.. the windows tilt at an angle so no rain gets in while you hang in the rain. I was worried about the roof being open mesh, but unbelieveably, with NO TREATMENT, NO SEAM SEAL, STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY !!NO LEAKS!!. Yeah I am repeating myself, I am in awe.

Outdoor Tube Tent-Aluminum Coated Interior Insulates Body Heat for Extra Warmth,82" X 36"

CUSTOMER REVIEW



This is a better tube tent than the plastic ones by virtue that one end is closed and the other has flaps that can be tied shut. This offers some wind protection and you'll stay warmer more easily. It won't keep all bugs out but if it's raining I don't mind swatting a few bugs if it means I'm staying dry. Just remember to add some clothes pins to keep the tent pulled tight at the top, and maybe replace the included rope with some paracord. The tent pins are a nice addition. It doesn't fold down very compact because of the thicker material. Unless you have a larger back pack this would have a better home in your vehicle emergency kit. I made a shelter kit with this tent including paracord, clothes pins, and just for fun a solar lawn light bought for a buck at the local big box store. When setting it up, be sure to have soft ground cover and use a blanket inside if possible because the durability of the floor material seems dubious against wear and tear at best. I wouldn't recommend making this your "regular" tent, but in an emergency it will be far better than nothing.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Used this little guy on the Hwy 35 to Cascade Locks section of the PCT. We did the hike in mid June and ran into all sorts of nasty weather. The first night we camped along the Zigzag River in what can only really be called a wintery mix. Snow/hail/rain etc. The tent held up perfectly. I was warm and dry inside. The next evening, in just rain it performed great, even after being put away wet. The only draw back to this tent is it is a bit of a pain in the bum to get in and out of. I am 5'10" and it required some flexibility/balance to enter and exit the tent without getting everything muddy. I figured out the technique later, but it is certainly designed for one person and your bag outside. Compared to other tents that serve a similar purpose, this one is high on the value end.
