Review on BISINNA Lightweight 2-Person Camping Tent: Waterproof, Windproof, And Easy To Set Up For Outdoor Adventures by Eric Rios

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good tent if properly used

I bought two of these and used them for a 2 night boy scout fishing/camping trip this last weekend. The tents were easy to set up and appear sufficiently durable. I don't have concerns about the netted support rod sleeves like others do. Yes, it is possible that the netting could wear or snag but we didn't have any meaningful issues with the pole snagging on the netted rod sleeves. I would probably prefer clips but this tent was less expense than other options so I'm tolerant of the netted fabric sleeves.The tent supports are light aluminum and seem reasonably solid and durable. I've always had fiberglass support poles. I like the aluminum better after having used them and the weight difference is noticeable.The rain fly was easy to put on and, if staked, will do its job. I had no problems getting in and out of the tent. I left one flap rolled back and it left plenty of room for getting in/out.The tent is not tall enough to stand in. I'm 5'8" and I was able to kneel inside reasonable comfortably. Don't expect this tent to have a lot of headroom. It's not that type of tent.The 2-person aspect of this tent wasn't tried out. I consider it a great 1-person tent with plenty of room inside for me and all of my stuff. Very comfortable for 1 person. Unless you are really traveling light, I would go with the rule of thumb that whatever a tent claims is its capacity, you should subtract at least 1 from that number to be comfortable.It rained off and on during the trip. The tent held up well. I made a mistake though. I put a tarp under it that was larger than the tent. Puddling occurred under the tent. I had a bit of water seepage down by my feet where the worst puddling occurred. That was really my fault. This tent doesn't have a tarp type of bottom. If I hadn't literally created a puddle that the tent was sitting in for 2 days, it probably would have been fine. I'll probably buy the custom sized footprint that the company offers for this tent since it is a modestly priced add-on. The rainfly appeared to function well and I didn't have any leakage around the sides.
