Lightweight, Strong, Waterproof

Used this at Lindville gorge wilderness area. Backpack camping. 1 mile to campsite and this tent is light. Tent is strong and waterproof, it rained and stormed all weekend. None of the water leaked in. Im 6'2" and i fit really well with my 2 younger boys. I wouldnt want to fit 3 grown men though. Great ventilation, but also retains good heat. Overall probably the best 3 person tent, especially for backpacking under $300.

All Set Up Within 10 Minutes, Light Weight

it has a great design that make it feels very roomy. set up is super easy and. used it for a 10 days camping trip and it still look like new. (humid weather but no rain) i like that we can use it without the fly so we can sleep under the stars. the window added a good ventilation so it was airy inside the tent. my partner is 6ft tall he didnt feel it was too short for him. i got it for a good price so i am thinking to get the footprint of it. (maybe that's why it is discounted) there is a little fiber got hooked and created a tiny hole at the base of the tent. thats why i give 4 stars. also, shipping was later than expected so there was not enough time to get another one. that hole is tiny like a needle pin so we will see when will that need a fix with gear aid

Tent Has Potential

Bought for my Boy Scout. Inside dimension adequate size for holding cot and gear. Rain fly awning is nice option to keep boots, gear out of tent, but covered. Makes a little awkward to enter/exit tent. Only got one use and one of the grommets on corner strap came up MIA. Upon further investigation, I'm not the only one to report this issue. I filed a claim with Big Agnes 3 business days ago. No answer yet.

Great Quality

Super easy to set up, without arguing. Plenty of room for 2 adults and young child. Acceptable weight for the size. All of the essential features without garbage that’s unnecessary to the camping experience.

Kept Us Dry

We camped with this is the snow and in the rain and it kept us dry! We love this tent although my husband burnt the rainfly with a latern. :( Customer service at big agnes was awesome and repaired it.
