Great Quality, Setup Is Simple,

Great quality, setup is simple, one con is the interior sidewalls don’t breathe. Mesh starts halfway up the wall and when laying down with no fly on the air flow is to high to feel. Good tent for shoulder seasons!

Satisfaisant

C'est une tente qui répond à mes besoins. Il faut bien installer les arceaux pour éviter les bris. Je l'utilise pour du camping quand je suis en voiture. J'ai été obligé de la retourner car là finition était inacceptable. On m'a renvoyé une tente neuve et cette fois la finition était ok. Le service après vente n'est pas rapide. Pour ses deux raisons je donne 3 étoiles. Je considère qu'un bon service après vente est très important et le fait d'avoir reçu une tente avec une mauvaise finition me questionne sur le processus de vérification avant de mettre les produits en vente.

Rainfly Disintegrates

I bought this tent a several years back and it worked great initially and then I took it out on a backpack hike and got caught in rain, tent leaked horrendously, luckily there was a shelter on the trail that I was able to use. Tent works great and is fairly light but only good for good weather. By the time I went to try and replace it was already out of warranty. I came on to see if MSR offered a new rainfly as an option to purchase as a replacement. Alas, it doesn't seem like they do. Over-all would not recommend.

Rain Fly

We have two of these we have had them for 4-5 years. Rain flys failed after the first year. Got caught in a pop shower this weekend and it just rained in our tents. Only good for dry weather camping. Would not recommend.
