Review on Outdoor Camping Waterproof Lightweight Instant Outdoor Recreation by Larry Boyd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Was easy to set up and kept in a pocket friendly place

Very easy to pick up and set up, especially once you understand how pulling down on the spring handle tightens the support bars and material. It wasn't difficult to take apart and everything fit back into the case with a strap to tighten it up, but has never been as neat as the manufacturer has, but at least it fit back into the case becoming things, packed back, rare discarded the back. The zippers worked well and were protected by flaps. Thoughtful design with breathable screen panels that gape for air under sewn-in rain flaps. I had no breathing problems there. The light hook held my USB fan which is heavier than a tent light. The only thing I would change design-wise would be to place the zippers on either end of the wing entry so that they meet in the middle, because that way you can roll up the door for the desired screen window ventilation. Note: The bottom is made of thin material, please clean the bottom well. or place a pad underneath, otherwise twigs, twigs, etc. may pierce it. Also note that the width goes from bar to bar, not inside. I barely got the thin memory foam mattress in from my collapsible crib - (touches both walls). I've never been able to fit a cot there, even though it's shorter than the tent specification says. Conclusion: I'm very happy with this purchase, I've only tested it in my cabin and will update this if the flimsy support poles cause problems holding the tent. in wind or if there are problems with water or seams in normal rain.
