Review on πŸ•οΈ Ultralight 1-Person Backpacking Tent: Free Standing, Waterproof, Ideal for Camping, Hiking, and All Seasons by Dale Toth

Revainrating 4 out of 5

product quality.

I ordered from Revain instead of Rakaia to save costs. My purchase came from China, which got me thinking about the quality. I can't tell if all Rakaia tents are made in China, Rakaia doesn't reply to my email. The tent came as expected, rain cover, tent body, guy ropes, tent poles and stuff sack. All seams are glued, the seams are even, strong, even. The rain cover sits well on the tent body. The bottom of the tent has been sealed at the corners. Installation is easy, the tent poles are aluminum and equipped with a shock absorbing cord. All the necessary pegs were in place, as well as stretch marks for all attachment points. I wanted to see how waterproof this tent was in the rain and after being pitched in 3+ inches of rain for 3 days it didn't shed a single drop. I am very happy with this purchase so far. I look forward to using this tent on the trail. I would recommend this tent for beginners like me as a budget entry into camping and backpacking trips. Full disclosure, this tent was returned after use. Great product, just too small inside.
