If you are serious about your camping then go and get a decent tent from one of the more specialized retailers like REI. I have had tents like this and I can assure you that unless you are absolutely cash strapped your money is better spent on a more durable and feature rich product. ...

I camped on the Northern California coast for two nights in this tent. Plenty of room for 3 people/no gear - 2+gear. The wind blew the first night, but it wasn't bothersome. It's true that the tent can't be sealed against dust, however most have ventilation at the top that would preclude this. The rain fly was tricky because it's off center, but the tent stayed dry in the fog. Best feature: you don't need to stake the tent or the fly - the fly attaches to the corners. My 11- and 9-year old girls can set this tent up by themselves. In fact, my 11-year old took it on her 5 day class camp trip and it served her needs well. Our Girl Scout troop is going to purchase 3 more of these for light car camping use a few times a year.

I just purchased this one on clearance for just under eighteen bucks at the local Target store. It's a simple little backpacking tent, nothing more, nothing less. Spray it down with some waterproofing before you take it out, and your good to go for a night or two.

How can the shipping weight be 9.0 lbs for a tent with a description claiming to be over 11 lbs ?

Tent is flimsey. Packaging advertised a rear zip window but there is no way to close the two mesh openings. If in a dusty location, you will have no way of keeping it or the wind out. Might be OK if cheaper and for summer use only.

This tent is not waterproof by any reasonable standards. All of the seams and zippers leak. After setting the tent up with the rainfly, the tent continually leaked for over fourteen hours forcing me to sleep in my car. I suppose it is a good thing that I had not hiked twenty miles into the woods to find this out. The tent was quick and easy to put up. I put it up in about four minutes. The opening in the tent is rather hard to get in and out of if you are tall. I am six feet tall and hit my back coming in and out of the tent opening every single time. The zippers were caught on the tent most of the time and took a bit of time to untangle. This tent is mediocre if you are expecting dry weather.

I REALLY LIKE THIS TENT IT LOOKS COMFORTABLE AND SPACIOUS THATS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.
