Pros Spacious, great layout, durable, very family friendly, high valueQuality materials, great height, perfectly sized vestibuleHuge interior, massive front door, stylish designTall interior, large built-in vestibule, quality materialsSuper light, very quick to pitch, amazing views with and without the fly, multi-use capabilities
Cons Not the easiest to pitch, odd bagHubbed poles, single door, awkward bagSetup is a two-person job, windows are cheap, light on pocketsSilly rainfly, fabric isn’t super breathable, carry bag too small Small square footage, guyline stakes not included, very low ceiling
Bottom Line This tent has one of the best uses of space we have ever seen, a great choice for families or campers with lots of gearAn ultra high-quality 4-person tent that makes great use of space with quality componentsA roomy, quality tent, with big doors and a nice vestibule with some style to bootA simple, quality tent that has more features and room than any other at this price pointA simple tent just big enough for car camping but arguably light enough for the occasional backpacking trip too
