I am leaving a second review as I now have a handful of trips using my Locomotive 3 tent. I still recommend the tent at 4 out of 5 stars. The tent is good, but there are still a few things that prevent a 5 out of 5 rating.

Initially I had concerns with the diameter of the tent poles - they are a smaller diameter than other 4 season tunnel tents, so I am still hesitant to use the tent in deep winter with lots of snow and wind. It does not feel super sturdy, and would benefit from additional points for guy lines to add structure. I have found that when using the tent in deep cold (-20 degrees celsius), the fabric of the tent shrinks, and it is not possible to get the tent poles into the provided grommets. Instead, I have had to add a knots to the lanyards to hold the pole. It would be a big improvement to add a tensioner to allow for use in colder temperatures (like Hilleberg tents).

After reviewing photos, I have noticed that my tent only includes 1 hook for a lantern, where the images show 2 hooks. Having the additional hook would allow me to hang a drying line, which would be a great addition. I'm disappointed to only have the one.

I still enjoy the tent and find the design and affordability to be great. I wish there were a few small tweaks to make the tent better for deep winter and snow camping in colder temperatures.

This was our first hot tent purchase and it is absolutely the perfect buy for a couple. The construction is well built and easy enough to setup with even just one person. The stakes especially are surprisingly high quality and super durable. So far we've used the tent in rainy and windy conditions, and the tent has held up amazingly. Our one gripe is that the zippers tend to snag, so if there was an option to upgrade the zippers we would've taken it. Otherwise it's a perfect tent and we won't be looking for a new hot tent anytime soon

This tent is so roomy. Plenty of room for my wife and I to relax in and enjoy the fire. Would definitely recommend this tent if you’re looking for extra room.

I already own version 1 of this tent and was so happy to see that version 3 came out. I purchased right away because like some of the other customers, we love this style of tent but it was lacking in overall size. Well, this version 3 is huge and I mean huge, yet light enough to still be portable and for some backpackable . Thanks Pomoly, you did it again.
