"I bought this for $100 on clearance, and use it as a one person tent (rather than two). For this purpose, it’s great. There’s enough space for me and my things. It’s easy to set up. And there’s a nice little entrance where I can keep my shoes. So far so good, I’ve only used it once"
"Great quality, worthy."
"Solid tent"
"I bought this in 2018 during the Boxing Day Sale, and overall it's a good tent. Never had a problem with the zips, although after 8 years the stitching is starting to show its age. The flooring is still in good condition too. The two downsides would have to be the tent pegs, and the black tent poles. The tent pegs are a bit thin and bend easily, and one of the black tent poles finally snapped after 8 years. Reading through the reviews this seems to be sort of common, but I wouldn't say it makes it a bad tent. Spares are cheap enough at $10 each, and after 8 years I've got no complaints."
"Good tent that packs small."
"We're very happy purchasing the tent very comfortable to sleep and it never been moist or wet inside."
"The ventilation is poor - I'd love it to have an opening out the back. And the inner and fly are very close together, so they easily touch. You probably need a perfectly flat site to avoid this. And it's not very roomy inside - great for 1 person with a single mattress though, and easy to put up. But despite the issues, given the very cheap price (on discount) it's a good deal. If you want something you'll be 100% happy with you may need to spend a bit more."
"Very pleased with the tent’s performance. It was quick to put up and take down and most importantly it stayed dry inside and structurally sound in the pouring rain at R & V 2025. Nothing inside the tent got wet!, it’s also super light and packs into a small carry bag. Although it says it’s a 2 person tent we were able to fit 3 women. Recommended as a great quality tent,"
"Tent is absolutely perfect and service brilliant."
"Great little tent. Easy to put up and take down."
