"I love this tent! I went with the 4 person tent, it had plenty of room for us two that went. It had a little problem understanding the instruction pictures, but once I pieced that together, was very easy and simple to assemble. I love the huge waterproof fly on top, but you still get plenty of sunlight and cross ventilation in the tent with it, probably my favorite part. Really easy to take down and fit in the bag as well. All around a great tent!"

"Great tent and when it was on sale I couldn’t beat the price. My kids love to have sleepovers I. The back yard in it! Just wish the bottom was a little thicker material as it got a slight tear in it after 5 uses, and it wasn’t even in the woods or on a rocky area. But still like the size and easy setup/tear down that even my 11yr old can do."

"Bought this for my wife and two kids, used it all summer and it held great up in rain, sun, heat, and cold. A breeze to set up, lots of great quality of life features like a shelf above the door, nice and tall on the inside because of the unique pole shape. The bottom is a tough and durable thick tarp that comes up along the edges. Only thing to remember is that it doesn't have a cover on the outside door, so you'll have to keep everything inside your tent. Also, the carrying case is bigger than it needs to be. You can fold it up nice and compact, but the tent will slosh around in the satchel. It's maybe a bit heavy for backpacking but not too bad either."

"A good product for the price (>$ 100.) easy to pitch up, took me just about 10 minutes on my own at an easy pace, about 10 minutes to take down and pack up, spacious (mine says 4 persons) enough for 2, okay for 3 but a bit tight for 4 persons. Perfect for star gazing on a clear night sky.

And by the way, it might last a few years (5 maybe ?!) if you go camping 2 or 3 times per year outside of winter/snow condition, not suitable for rugged, hard core camping. I am satisfied from the look of it, pitched it up in my back yard but still have to take it out on a real camp site soon. I recommend it for easy to moderate relaxed camping trips."

"Bought this as a gift for my daughter and her family. They have only used it once so far but really liked it because, in hot dry weather, they were able to use it without the rain cover almost as a screen room."

"This is easy to put up with no "tied" connections. The bungie at the top makes it easy to put the poles up, and the clip ups work well. The rainfly clips into the pole attachment points. The carry bag is just slightly larger than necessary making it easy to pack away but not too bulky.

The problems: the 2 straps that hold the rolled tent are thread-through straps. While they can be pulled tight to condense the tent, they will eventually get torn up and hard to use when they get dirty. Buckle clips would have been MUCH BETTER, and don't cost much more.

The side walls are mesh. They are covered with the rain fly. BUT, the area above the door and the window on the opposite wall are also mesh. The rainfly does not cover them. EDIT August 2023: and, now I know for sure. Summer mountain rainstorm with just a little wind, and the inside was WET. Unfortunately, I was not in camp and did not get it covered in time. So, no, it WILL NOT stay dry in a rainstorm if there is any wind. Now I cover it with an additional tarp before I leave camp.

Also, the tent does not hold heat. I would not recommend this if the temperature is below 50 degrees."

"It's not for 4 adults for sure.rhinking of average ppl size these days-no way..besides bags,personal belongings would have stay outiside-which is unsafe.so for 2 ppl on queen size mattress in the middle,we had left half a meter free on each side..which used for bags..

Assembly wise it was easy enough to set it up for the first timer..it was steady enough as we hit some night heavy rain..who is afraid of hooks-all is safe..great thought to have poles connected-eliminate the time to rhink how to connect them..magnetic closure of tent didn't work.weak magnets I guess-they didn't attach.as well I think a patio would provide a benefit to store some of yours in case of space..but for constant relocation during camping,this tent should work well.."

"This is a great tent, it rained almost the whole time we were camping but stayed dry inside. Plenty of ventilation. Very nice to hang light inside tent.

Only problem is that we had a really hard time putting it together. The instructions were not great. Admittedly we are slightly challenged at putting things together."

"The product was great for reducing wind and cold temperatures, and the floor was designed thoughtfully for the sake of usable space. However, the tarp that attaches to the top of the tent did not fit in the grommets correctly like every other part of the tent did, resulting in part of the pole protruding from either the front or the back. This resulted in some rain water getting in the tent from this area, ruining some stuff within the tent. The zipper on the door separated on one side, making it hard to secure the flap. The magnets were nice however.

All in all, if you don't have rainy conditions, this is a great tent for camping. I would not purchase this again if I anticipate any rain or precipitation. I discarded this after the first use because of the resulting damage to my stuff in the tent, and the flaws in the tent itself."

"Compre 2 al mismo tiempo y definitivamente la Columbia fue mi mejor opción salió mucho más grande mientras acampábamos se vino la lluvia la otra marca comenzó a filtrar agua por todos lados, mientras que esta estaba completamente seca"
