Simple Setup, Packable, Lightweight, Affordable.

I have taken the Aurora 3P on three backpacking trips so far. The tent is lightweight and easy to divide between two or three people. It is a simple design without a lot of extra features, which helps to keep the weight down. The tent is very simple to set up and take down. I ended up buying a few more stakes to utilize all the guy points. The interior has a little extra room above your head and at your feet, but it is recommended you check out all your sleeping pads before hitting the trail to make sure they fit the width (three Wide pads won’t fit). I’m very happy with my Aurora 3P and will soon invest in an Aurora 2P.

Mesh Did Not Stop No-see-ums

This would be a great tent except that it doesn't block no-see-ums. We tried this tent on two trips and were covered in no-see-um bites both times. On the second trip, we used our bug tent to cover the Aurora tent just to try to keep them out. This tent would have been a great addition--easy to set up, spacious, good pockets, good fly coverage. With such poor mesh, we had terrible sleeps, bites for weeks, and won't be taking it out again.

Worst Tent Investment I've Ever Made

I bought the Aurora 3 person tent for backpacking. Not too keen on the one piece tent pole, the zippers are terrible quality. The tent doesn't come with enough guidelines to stake the whole tent out. I got four guidelines and two tiny ones. The included instructions and videos they have o. YouTube share very little information on setting the tent up and guiding it out entirely. The center separate tent pole doesn't have a connection point to the fly which the zipper gets in the way of it and I can tell just by looking at it that it will over time wear a hole in the tent fly in windy conditions. There's only two gear pockets, which three would be great in a three person tent. I feel like this tent is Coleman level of quality and engineering behind the tent. There are ten possible guideline attachment points but only four guidelines and two short guidelines that I can't even where they belong. There's 8 tent pegs included, four for the base and four for guidelines and to properly stake out the vestibule I need more 2 tent pegs. I'm heading to Algonquin park for a week and I'm worried this tent won't stand up to much weather. I'm regretting purchasing this and I've only set it up in my living room. I don't think this tent was really well thought out. And for the price point I should get guidelines that have a 10 cent injection moulded slack adjuster on the guidelines. I really wish I didn't buy this tent.
