Reviewed by Ed in Bama from Alabama on Thursday, May 09, 2013Bought for my son's to use on Scouting backpacking trips as well as family trips. What I think so far: Very easy to set up Doors on both sides is a nice feature Fly covers well Plenty of room for two plus a good amount of gear as needed plus vestibules add outide storage Appears to be very well made overall It's going on an overnighter tomorrow night.

Reviewed by Kayak camper from New York on Thursday, May 02, 2013I haven't used this tent yet but I set it up in the living room in about 10 minutes. It is easy to put together and it looks like it will work great. It folds up nice and small which is what I needed for an overnight kayak trip. Not many bells and whistles, which can be a good thing.

Reviewed by PAngler from Pennsylvania on Wednesday, April 03, 2013Put it up inside. I like the concept of the tent. Fits into a smaller stuff sack than provided. I got it for around 90 dollars which is a great deal on a tent weighing in under 5 pounds. Got the floor saver for the Alps Mountaineering Zephyr 2 from amazon for around 20 dollars, fits great. Would give five but have not used it in the field yet.

Reviewed by Oldster from WA on Wednesday, November 21, 2012I am much too old to use this without a really good reason.....like the big EQ has happened. But if it does, I will be glad I have put my emergency gear together. Maybe you should too.

Reviewed by mailman from Knoxville, TN on Thursday, November 15, 2012Nice Tent. Good Price. Made for Sierra by Alps. The floor saver for the Zephyr 2 will work for this tent.

Question “is this tent water proof? if so how well dose it keep out water? and whats the lowest temperature it can whit stand? ps: thanks for your help.”
-
Answer Unfortunately this tent is not manufactured with a waterproof or warmth rating. But it does however come with a rainfly that will keep rain and snow out.
-
Answer It rained 32 of the 48 hours during our trip to Linville Gorge area in NC. I would recommend an extra layer of water proofing. I plan to do the extra water proofing in the future. If I had not brought a air mattress, not inflated as extra padding/lining for the base of the tent my girlfriend and I probably would have been wet and our trip cut short. We survived a night in high 30's/low 40's and wet. This being said it did take a lot of energy to convince the lady to try staying another night, as she was mentally and physically chilled. Myself I'm a human heater and could go colder but as a native Florida son don't wish too. Good luck.

Question “Another tent I'm considering purchasing has a "Seam-sealed bathtub design" floor. I was wondering if this tent also had something like that.”
-
Answer This tent does have a bath tub floor design. A bathtub floor is a one piece seamless floor connecting the tent body a few inches up the sidewall, raising leaky seams above the ground where water might seep in.
