Amazon.com Product Description

A good camping trip requires a reliable tent, and the Osage two-person tent from ALPS Mountaineering more than delivers. The freestanding two-pole tent is easy to set up, with shock-corded fiberglass poles and a ring-and-pin system at the corners. As a result, you don't have to waste time situating the tent when you could be hiking or kicking back at the campfire. The tent's body is made of lightweight but strong polyester taffeta fabrics, with a multi-pass urethane coating on the fly and floor providing maximum weather protection. And to further protect the tent's interior from moisture, the Osage includes factory seals on the seams and a tub-style, factory-sealed floor. The design helps the tent resist rainy, windy weather conditions.

The tent also offers a side-hinging door for easy entry and exit, along with two large mesh windows and three mesh vents for extra ventilation in hot, muggy weather. And users will love the mesh storage pockets and gear loft, which help them store keys, wallets, flashlights, and other small items. Other features include a breathable 1.9-ounce nylon taffeta roof, a hooded fly at the front and rear (the fly attaches with stress-absorbing shock cords and S-hooks), and guy-out loops on the fly for added wind support. Equipped with a zippered tent bag, the Osage is also available in three- through six-person sizes.

This review is from: ALPS Mountaineering Osage 2 Person Tent (5 x 7-Feet 6-Inch) (Sports)

I was reluctant to purchase this tent because it was at such a low price, but I took it with me to a mountain range in SE Oklahoma during a trail maintenance weekend. It was great! The low temp got down to 36 and I was warm and comfortable. It takes about 2 minutes to set up and also to take down. It didn't rain that weekend, so I'm not sure how it holds up during a downpour, but I have faith it would be fine. It was quite windy and we were right off the water, I never felt a breeze or got chilled. I'm 5'4 so I fit great into it by myself, it would be a little crowded with another person, especially if they were 6' or taller. There wouldn't be much room for gear with a second person. Overall it was a great purchase and I love this brand.
