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.
