5 out of 5 stars Dont need directions easy set up   September 26, 2007

I set up one of these tents and there is no need for instructions.

For that price this is a deal super light would be great for biking or Scouts.

Easy set up would make an excellent biking or scout tent.

lots of room this tent would be best for one person and gear.

It also came with a nice bag for storage that has a zipper and straps to carry.

You can get this direct from Texsport's own site for $27.00. Though shipping is more expensive - still ends up considerably cheaper.

Does what is says on the can - cheap light tent good for backcountry hiking.

This tent is as low weight as advertised. It's a very nice size, too. It's supposed to be for two people, but I am only one person, and I found it very comfortable. This tent is not difficult to set up. I set it up in fading light without much trouble. My only concern with this tent is its waterproofing. I haven't used it in rain.

Obviously, you can't stand up in it. However, I found it to be long, and I could sit comfortably.



5 out of 5 stars Great tent for $25   January 20, 2010

I like finding affordable, usable equipment and this tent certainly is both. OK, it's not a $200 mountaineering tent but it is certainly worth the $25-$30 cost. I don't understand why other reviewers compare it as such.

I set it up in the yard several times and the poles or clips did not brake. The poles are not terribly strong but I appreciate the low weight since I will be bicycle touring. I would not recommend squeezing two people in this tent unless it's realy cold and you enjoy the closeness.

If you ever put up any kind of tent in your life - you can put this one up in your sleep - no instructions needed. The actual taffetta tent material seems to be good quality and the rain fly provides full protection while maintaining breathability. Althought the tent and fly seams are taped I plan on sealing and spraying with water repellant. A small area under the front part of the rain fly can be used for wet gear and footwear. The color is nice but I would prefer a more natural look to blend in.

Leave this tent behind if you are climbing Mount Everest but for easy camping duty, weight concern and portability -buy it. I am very pleased.

Update: 6 Sep 2010
Spent 2 nights in St. Mary's Wilderness, VA and I have no complaints. Light to carry, easy to set up, take down and pack. It didn't rain or get windy on this trip but I did leave it in the yard for 10 days and it stayed bone dry when it rained. The poles or clips still haven't broken!
