It is as advertised.Like all tents, the 6 person rating is stretching it. Three adults can co-habitat without being cramped, even when sheltering from the weather. Four is doable but tight. If there are 5 or 6 people, I am staying home. Its a fairly big tent and said it is 58 in the center. I am 510 and was able to stand up. It is 14x10 overall and the sleeping area is 9x10.
What I like:
-For a conventional tent it was easy to put up. A little unwieldy for one person but I usually dont have trouble with erections. Ive tried the instant tents and they are easy to put up. But they are also easily blown down, bent, buckled and collapsed.
-It is as advertised and has s name proudly displayed on the exterior. I dont trust tents without it. What are they ashamed of that they wont put their name on it for everyone to see?
-Price/value
-Covered vestibule or porch. I probably wont be lounging behind the screen, but it is a useful outdoor storage spot for stuff you dont want in the tent. I dont buy in to the criticism about it getting wet during rain. Of course it does. Youre camping. Its not going to be like home. Get over it. Stay home and maybe the others on this trip will appreciate that more than your complaints. did make the front part of the vestibule floor mesh so you can whisk away the water. Point the front downhill if you must.
-Its solid at a hefty 20 lbs. Ever wondered why other 6 person tents weigh a lot less? Theyre cheap, wont survive the wind or keep out the rain.
- Its pretty!! Umm, in a rugged manly sorta way.
Points off for:
-The main tent only has 4 stakes. It should have 6 and maybe even 7.
-The stakes, Ay Dios Mio! Whats with these cheap-azz stakes that everyone includes with their tents? They couldnt hold down a job flipping burgers much less a tent! Buy some better stakes. I prefer a solid 10 inches.
-The front of the tent will act like a sail in windy conditions. You may have to rotate the tent depending on the situation.
There you have it. I havent taken it for a test drive yet but will report back. I have high hopes it will not disappoint. Ive got to go buy some bigger stakes.
I set it up in the backyard and left it all week. It got a good dose of wind and a heck of a thunderstorm. It stayed put and stayed dry! I did add some carabiners and stronger guy lines.
I am happy with my choice
