"Supper great so far I love for how small it is for canoeing and more"
"Very nice tent I purchased this tent for bike touring and backpacking. After extensive research I felt that this tent was the best quality that fit my budget. I like the extra setup options that are available such as the fast fly footprint setup and also the availability of adding the gear shed if desired. The activities that I will be using it for will be more recreational so I can live with carrying an extra pound of weight since it's a quality shelter. It is very easy to set up. I've only used it in the field one night so far, and it performed well."
"I love it! Not the lightest for a single man tent, but it has a smart design with plenty of room for a tall guy like me and a spacious vestibule. It appears to be well built and I expect it will last for a long time." -
