I was given this product by Backcountry, but this review Is my personal opinion.



This tent is definitely a nice addition to my gear collection. It is super simple to set up, relatively light for a 4-person tent, and the quality is top-notch. For the price bracket that this tent sits in, it really is one of the best options out there. The colors are nice, but the lighter tone does show mud or dirt; however, the overall styling is contemporary and sleek. The hooks that hold the tent to the poles are tough plastic and are a breeze to secure when setting the tent up. No more sliding poles into sleeves on the tent which can get annoying on some older style tents. The rain fly is where most of the weight comes from, but the tent is designed as a weekend/car camping tent, so this isn’t an issue. However, it is still light enough to split between you and a friend to use as a backpacking tent. If it’s a warm summer night, you can even leave behind the rainfly and the tent becomes extremely light and easily packable for one person to have a spacious tent. There is plenty of room inside and can comfortably fit 4 people, but in my case, I fit 3 people and 2 dogs just fine. Overall, it is a nicely built, simple, and fun tent to have.

This tent is honestly a super good deal for the features it has! I think it's best used as a car camping tent, but if you split it up between 3-4 people you could definitely use it for backpacking! It's quick and easy to set up, I didn't even need to look at the directions, it's got a gear loft included, rain fly, and is free standing! If you're looking for a good, basic tent for pretty much any use, look no further!
