Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this tent in July 2010, and I've used it throroughly in the chilean Andes and Patagonia over the past months.
Under windy conditions (I'm not talking extreme weather), the tent bends in half, and the sides wake you constantly throughout the night with a tapping on your sleeping bag. It's not sturdy at all.
Under rainy conditions it's a bloody mess. Water seeps through the walls and a pool gathers in the bottom.
When it's humid outside, your perspiration condenses on the walls, and you wake in the morning to find a hundred droplets aimed at you. As soon as you move, they all come crashing down on you.
The textile is so fragile it's scary.
The pegs are sharp (they cut your hands when you try to pull them out).
Yes. I sealed the seams.
Yes. I set it up right.
Yes. I let the window open to let air in.
Yes. I have experience. I've been trekking and camping for the past 15 years frequently.
Believe me, the only good thing about this tent is how light it is, but it really is not worth the price you pay. You'd really be better off with a bivy sack.
