Great product, spectacular value By western transplant from Pocatello, ID on 10/05/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Lightweight, Stows Easily, Warm Best Uses: 3 Season Camping, Backpacking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Took this bag for a weekend trial run in Bryce Canyon in early October. The first night the low hit 17 degrees F and I was cold - but adding a liner and another fleece layer made me toasty warm. The second night I started out with all of the layers - and the wind tried to carry my tent away - but I woke up at 2am overwarm and had to get rid of my extra layers and then some. Found out the low that night only hit 34. So, great even below 20, if you're willing to add a little extra; great wind resistence; and plan to sleep in your underwear if the temp is above 35 and you need to keep the bag closed. Compression straps built into stuff sack design works well. Weight and size felt great.
Do you have an aspen 3 to sell to me? By Bebe from Columbus OH on 03/28/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have used an Aspen 3 for over five years, staying in it as long as two months a year. I need an extra as a back-up tent. Three toy poodles, a parrot, and myself have been comfortable in it (with added insulation and a small heater) when the temperature was down to 16 degrees. Because my insulation is custom-made and fits perfectly and this tent is so perfect for us, I don't want any other tent. Please call me if you have an Aspen 3 to sell: [...]
Great product for multiple uses. By RamingtonStall from Westerville, OH USA on 09/25/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Set Up, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Cons: Pole sections too long Best Uses: Attached to side of van, Beach, Canoe Camping, Car Camping, Rain shelter over picnic Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Protected our Bicycles and cooking equipment during afternoon downpour on Blue Ridge Parkway Campground. Great for dining during a rain storm at our camp site.
Originally bought with a mind toward attaching it to the side of my van with 4 small C-Clamps, attached to rain gutters for camping in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park Campgrounds, but I expect it will really be great for travels through Arches, Canyon lands, Brice Canyon, and Zion National Park where sun is the culprit rather than the rain.
We especially liked the flexibility of set-up.
Only downside was the 5' length of longest poles. 4' with an additional section would have been better, even if more expensive.
Plastic spikes were actually useful for certain sites, but I followed earlier review and bought some longer 10" gutter type nails.
By Busy Mom from Flagstaff, AZ on 08/05/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Fast and easy to assemble, Quality Construction Best Uses: Backyard, Families, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Bargain Hunter, Hammock Seeker Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a comfortable piece of furniture if you have a patio or paved area to set it on. It doesn't rock too easily so it can be a good place to rest. This is very low to the ground, so it may be a challenge getting in and out. I like to lay in it and look at the stars with my young children.

By Ann Overboard from Trenton, IL on 07/23/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Good Size, Quality Construction Best Uses: Backyard, Families, Relaxation Describe Yourself: Bargain Hunter Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I think I would have preferred a conventional side-to-side swinging hammock. My 6 year old twins enjoy standing on it though.
By bog boy from st louis mo on 07/06/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: reminds me of boyscout philmont fly. easy to use
By Barkbeetle from SC on 05/07/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Canoe Camping, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: An excellent, well constructed base camp fly -- not a trail fly in spite of the name. Poles are good quality aluminum, light but sturdy, though somewhat cumbersome to transport due to length, 5' retracted. Great set-up for car or canoe camping. You get the full value of the system when you use the poles, but there are plenty of grommets and tie-offs if you choose to go without. The plastic pegs that come with the fly are worthless, get gutter spikes.
