4.0 out of 5 stars weight of tent, December 11, 2007

This review is from: NEW 8 X 8, 4 SEASON, BACKPACK DOME, ALUMINUM POLES, 2 DOORS (Misc.)

When I started looking for a 3 person, 4 season, light weight, economical tent, I thought this would be perfect. I have not used it yet, but I have set it up and I really think it will work for our backpacking needs. I know this is not considered a backpacking tent, but 7lbs. (indicated on website) is not bad when our other backpacking tent weighed 5lbs. We decided 2 more pounds would be ok.

The only problem I have is that the website says it weighs 7lbs.
The shipping weight on the box said, 11 lbs. I know that the box did not weight 5 lbs. So my husband weighed the tent at work, without the box, on a commercial scale and it weighed 8.5 lbs.
So, you might be thinking 1.5lbs. is not a big deal. Well it is when you are carrying it on your back for 25 miles. Every pound is important when considering what you take with you.

I think the weight needs to be changed on the website just incase someone else has the same weight considerations.

Thanks,
SandRaT

1.0 out of 5 stars poor tent, October 27, 2010

I went hunting this weekend and it rained and snowed. This tent could not take any of it!! One pole bent under a little snow and the floor leaked!!! Worst tent I have ever used. I AM GOING TO JUST DUMP THIS IN THE TRASH AND CHALK IT UP TO A LOSS. I WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE IT TO ANYONE. Don't even consider this thing. Pay the price and get a good tent, like I should have.

I took this tent to the post office and weighed it, and it came in at 7 lbs 15.6 ounces, which is about 7.5 lbs. The floor is a little thin, so I think I'm gonna get a footprint for it. The poles are aluminum and seem really durable. One thing to be noted is that the inside size is not 8'x8'. It's more like 7.5'x7.5'. The size of the tent refers to the distance between the ends of the poles, not the interior space. It's easy to put up, easy to take town, and easy to fit in its carrying bag.I haven't used it in the rain yet, so I can't say anything about its water resistance or durability. I'll update this review later after I get more use out of it.
