Bought this tent 3-4 years ago and finally got to go camping and break into this tent. Did not come with instructions and impossible to set up by yourself. You have to have additional persons helping hold tent in certain way while putting in poles. Rain fly? What. A. Joke. Rain seeps through the rain fly around some pressure points.

Nice Design But Epic Fail Even After 50 Years Of Tent Set Ups
Since setting up tents now for almost fifty years I've set up most everything for military-style TP cabin yurt over top survival and other styles so when I saw this directions on this tent and the different size poles for front back mid and the sleeves on the actual tent itself seemed pretty flimsy but also was looking for a tent with more of a solid inside top however this tent like others is all mesh and will not hold heat in very well at all for me this won't work and even though you can use the front area as a gear storage area seems like a waste of space and a difficult setup took over 30 minutes for something that should be about 10 minutes but unclear with the directions on which size poles go in which area there were polls for the actual setup poles for the rain fly but different size poles for the front tarp and the back area which were quite confusing compared to the main polaria versus rain fly poles so basically had to give up after almost 25 to 35 minutes of trying to set up basically a 10-minute job

Roomy, Great Vestibule, Easy Assembly
We’ve now stayed twice in our tent, in both sunny and gale-force-windy with heavy rain conditions. Very satisfied. It’s spacious for 4 people, cozy for 6, theoretically possible for 8. Great vestibule! Great for star gazing! A great all-around tent for car camping. Subtract a star for cheap tent stakes and minor water problems at the tension-pole pressure points. ROOMINESS We purchased for two persons car camping. There’s space in each of the two sides or “rooms” (divided by a drape) for two full-size cots and gear, plus each side has its own door. So we could comfortably sleep 4. For just us 2, we stow the gear and a small emergency no-smell camp toilet in one (the “Go Anywhere” type). VESTIBULE We LOVE sitting in the vestibule with our two camp chairs. It’s a perfect screen porch, roomy, no mosquitoes! We particularly love that there’s no fabric flooring in the vestibule. We have a plastic bath mat at the door. Sit in the chair, remove shoes, step in socks onto the mat, and nothing gets tramped into the tent. Perfect! No need to store bags in the vestibule when used by 4 or fewer persons. WATERPROOFING Tent is “normal”. We had a bit of puddling at the pressure points where the poles meet the base, stretching the seams there a bit. I’ve seen that in lots of tents. No amount of waterproof spray will cure this issue. I do wish someone would design a little protective cup for such pressure points. The poles would rest in the cup, which would be elevated ever so slightly by the cup, to prevent puddling. Otherwise, pressure from the poles tends to dig into the ground a bit, creating pooling potential. To solve this problem: 1. Put no gear in the downslope corners. 2. Use an inside tarp. 3. Make sure the footprint outside tarp doesn’t pool water at those points. We initially neglected the Velcro strips on the rain fly. The fly then slipped off the poles a bit in the wind, allowing rain to spray into the roof’s mesh top. Won’t make that mistake twice!! VENTILATION Tons. Super! STAR GAZING Remove the rain fly, lie on your pad, and the sky is yours! WIND CONDITIONS The tent is big. Sides are like sailboat sails. Tension poles maintain the overall tent integrity just fine, even in very strong gusts, but there are two “wings” that are great for gear storage, and those wings have to be staked. In a heavy wind, if the stakes pop out, you’ll wake up with tent wall in your face. The flimsy old-fashioned stakes provided by Field and Stream simply won’t do unless the ground is perfect hard clay. We’re of course buying replacements!

Plenty Of Room!
We love how much room this tent has to offer and the screened in porch is awesome. The only flaw we found was it in fact didn't hold water after the first rain on it. We have to spray sealant all over it to seal it up.

Happy Campers
Easy set up size is good a little tight for 2 adults , 2 kids & 2 dogs but we fit and stayed dry on rainy days. We were impressed! I would recommend it
