I purchased the adjustable comfort sleeping cot to use inside this 4-person tent; however the tent was too small! The cot was too long for the tent. I was very disappointed. This was my first time purchasing a tent, so I was not familiar with the fact that when the description says "4-person", it really means "2 people in sleeping bags". There is no way 4 people can sleep comfortably in a 4-man tent! Luckily, my grandson had a larger tent I used for the four-day weekend and my cot fit into his "8-man" tent. I gave my 4-man tent to my granddaughter. The tent was very easy to set up, though. My granddaughter and her guest enjoyed it all weekend with sleeping bags.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I loved it... But rain ruins it

So, letme just say how much i fell for the tent. It lasted me almost through two roadtrips from Atlanta, GA to the Pacific coasts. I love how easily it is to set up... However, when it comes to rain.. this thing sucks. I guess i just didnt deal with hard rain before? But the past few days i have been in montana in the pouring rain and woken up SOAKED from this thing. It is so much water, its unexcusable. They advertise water proof which is why i give the low review, it is a lie. I love the easy set up but waking up freezing and wet gives yall only a star.... Not ok. Just say its only for dry weather so i dont fall for it... I am very dissatisfied. I want it to work so bad because everything else is great... But not waterproof???? And its supposed to be for regular camping???? Not ok. I am so sad. Want to switch to another company maybe. Idk what to do now.. water just pouring in and puddling in my tent sucks so bad. I am so sad...

Not for rainy weather

The tent sets up quickly and the optional fly installs easily. The size is nice for limited camp pads you might encounter at parks. However, this tent leaks badly. Pools of water formed on the inside floor. The seams were sealed beforehand. and the optional fly was attached.
To give the tent a second chance, we used a waterproofing spray over all surfaces (including the fly) but not the screens, the tent still leaked. I am very dissatisfied with this item.
If used as a day tent at a track meet or soccer tournament, you could get some value out of it, but do not count on this product for variable camping conditions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I go camping with my son, a Boy Scout about 7 times a year. This tent is ideal. Light weight and very quick assembly and take down. I’ve got an 8 person Coleman tent as well but for just the two of us, this tent is perfect.

Thought it was a good tent until hard rains...

This last trip my wife and i were stuck in some moderate rain that lasted the entire day. I actually think this may have been the first real rain other than a fast passing shower. We took on so much water it was incredible, it leaked from top screens and the entire fabric began leaking one it was saturated. Torn on whether to sell this now or just never use in bad weather.

Nice Tent - leaks like crazy

I have the 6 person version of this tent and we really like the tent because it was one of the few tents without the mesh top. However, this tent leaks like crazy even with the rainfly on and a pop-up shade structure over it.
The bathtub flooring that is design to keep water out works great for that purpose but also holds the water in when the tent leaks. Last campout we had 2 inches of rain water inside the tent. We have seal the seams twice which kind of help until the factory seal started falling off along with the tent material leaking all over.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Tent was great.............surprisingly easy for us to put up and use. We are in Maui for this trip and we are 76 and 85 years old. Proud of ourselves and thanks for making it doable with your wonderful equipment.
