Review on Lightweight & Waterproof Bessport Camping Tent - Easy Setup For 1-3 Person Outdoor, Hiking And Travel. by Peter Sullivan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect backpacking tent

If you’re looking for a decent backpacking tent, look no further. This is very lightweight and packaged much smaller than box tents. We were able to strap the tent onto our packs easily. Our friends who came hiking with us had a very similar tent from dicks sporting goods, it looked almost exactly the same except ours had more head room, pockets on each corner, and a hammock pocket at the top of the roof. They paid a lot more for their tent so I was surprised it didn’t have these little features as well. Set up and break down is very easy, simple, and quick. I can do it alone myself if I wanted to. I was worried about the bottom of the tent tearing because of other reviews saying it was thin, but I had no issues. I used a ground tarp for underneath the tent. My dog slept in the tent with us and his nails did nothing to the tent. The tent was big enough for my husband (6”), me (5”5’), and our border collie. We were kind of close together, though, but that is not an issue for us. Another good perk is that this tent gets HOT. I was worried since it was so cold when we were camping but I almost had to keep the doors open it was so hot in there. It really keeps your body heat in. On one rainy night, it stayed perfectly dry on the inside. We love this tent and will use it every time we go camping now!

Pros
  • Quick-release buckles make taking down the tent a breeze
Cons
  • The tent's zippers may snag easily
