Review on Bessport Camping Tent: Easy Setup Lightweight Backpacking Tent For 3-4 Seasons, Waterproof & Windproof - Ideal For 2-4 Persons Hiking, Mountaineering And Travel Outdoor Adventures by Brandon Mercado

Revainrating 4 out of 5

ok for inexpensive tent

I was looking for good med price backpack tent. I am 6ft 2inches tall and it is hard to find one I can fit into.This Bessport 2 man tent seemed to fit the bill. It was not as big as what they said I did fit with about inch each end. I was able to get my pack in easy as well. I would not put 2 people in it unless they where real small but for one it was enough and fit my gear in also. I had just enough room to dress. It fit on my backpack well. it set up fairly easy. I would set it up before use. The directions if you call them that where useless. I bought the foot print with it and it worked well. I did find the tent hard to roll up and fit back into the carry bag. I do not think the bag will last as long. I was missing ties for the top with it but I had string that worked. I bought a couple extra stakes that fit in the stake bag. I am not sure how strong it will be in heavy wind but calm and light breeze it did well. It does have some tie downs so it will help keep it in place. It was hard to get poles in the eyelet hole on the tent and foot print but it did stay once in place. I did not use it in the rain. I would seam seal or spray the fly anyway. I found a few stiches that where loose on the fly right out of the box. If I spray or seal it I think It will be good. I used it on a 3 day hike on the 25 mile Indiana adventure trail. I liked the fact the fly rolls up. I used it in summer it felt good getting breeze in at night to sleep. I could have left the fly off but with all the rain we have got this year I felt better having the fly on it is easier to close it than put it on in the rain in the dark. I also like the side vents. I liked the corner pocket and the hanging storage sling. I still need to use in harsh weather to make up my mind. For a beginner tent or weekends I think it will work well. once you get it folded up to fit the bag I was able to get the foot print in there fairly easy so it was all in one bag. the floor seemed ok I was in some rough vegetation I do recommend a foot print and a trap or both. For longer hikes or harsh conditions I am not sure how it will hold up. It was close to 6 pounds with the foot print a bit heavy but I did not want a small tent I could not fit into.
