5.0 out of 5 stars Great tent, withstood pea-sized hail May 21, 2012

My girlfriend and I are planning on camping, and I'm pretty new to the game. I wanted an easy tent to setup, and this is absolutely it. We looked at the instructions a few times, but it really is unpack it, pull it up, tie it off, and put the stakes in the ground. The rainfly was a bit more confusing, but not a big issue. Probably about 10 minutes total.

When I initially read the other comments on this product, I was really surprised that almost nobody talked about how it handled storms/rain/wind. So just to get some feedback on that feature here - we set up the tent and ventured out to buy batteries for our air mattress pump - by the time we got back it was looking pretty nasty outside so we decided we'd leave the tent up while we slept in the basement! We zipped up the windows and let it ride. There was a decent amount of rain and about 5-10 minutes of pea-sized hail. The next morning I went to check it out and there was no damage to the tent from the hail and only about 5 drops of water on both far sides inside the tent. Pretty impressive to me.

We let it dry out and then packed it up. It didn't fit perfectly back in the bag at first, but I gave it another try later and stuffed it in there. Not perfect but it works.

All in all, great tent and I'm quite happy with how it performed. I think we'll get better at assembly and tear-down, so really a great experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly is light speed! January 11, 2012

By Mimsikal

I love this tent. I am a novice in tenting and this product made me feel much less inept. The quick and easy set-up was totally a confidence booster. And the best part was that I was able to take it down, roll it up and fit it back into the bag it came in...all by myself!

My friends and I did actually fit 6 people into this tent cozily, yet comfortably. And we were adequately protected from the elements...of Southern California. But don't get me wrong, it can get windy out in that desert!

I highly recommend this product, especially at this price. It basically eliminates set-up and take-down time so you can spend most of your time actually having fun and enjoying the outdoors. Thanks Lightspeed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for families! October 22, 2011

By S. Williams

When we got married 17 years ago, we received a tent. That tent has lasted and been perfect for many camp trips. But now that we have 3 kids, we need a bigger tent. That's why I was thrilled when I got an email asking me if I would be interested in reviewing the Lightspeed Ample 6 Tent.

The Ample series is the most spacious of the Lightspeed lineup. With the Lightspeed integrated pole system, the poles are built in to the tent, eliminating the difficulty associated with traditional separate pole tents. The revolutionary drawstring hub system allows the user to set up the tent quickly and easily. The Ample features a large front door for easy access into the tent, and an extended awning for added protection.

As soon as the tent arrived in the mail, my 4 year old and I cleared out the living room floor and put it up. I was very skeptical that the drawstring system would be as easy and effective as promised. But I was surprised. I took 3 minutes and actually looked at the quick start directions before beginning. That was the key for me.

Steps to setup:
Unroll the tent.

Secure the bottom 4 joints into place.

Stand in front of the tent area and pull the 2 drawstrings. I was afraid this would require 2 people pulling really hard. But I was actually able to pull the drawstring and the tent popped into place as intended.

Slide the 2 side poles into place to extend the sides of the tent.

Attach the rain flap cover if desired.

Stretch out the tent sides and stake.

Steps to take down
Unstake, remove the 2 side poles, stand in front of tent and push down on the 2 support bars that have yellow sticker. Tent will collapse in front of you. Roll up and put back in bag.

I have set the tent up twice and spent the night in the tent with my 3 kids.

The tent claims to be big enough for 6 people, but like all tents I have seen, you can never comfortably sleep 6 adults. But who actually goes camping with 6 adults? This is a perfect size for our family of 5 (2 adults, and 3 children (age 4, 6, 9) with room on the side for some supplies. It is tall enough inside for all 3 kids to walk around comfortably.

I like the fact that there is alot of screening on top of the tent and multiple windows on each side. We put up the rain flap when we slept in the tent so the dew wouldn't drip into the tent. There are several pockets made into the tent walls as well.

Overall opinion: This tent is great for our family. After 2 setups, I feel very comfortable planning for it to be our main tent for our next camping adventure.
