Winterial Camping Tent, 1/3/6 Person Lightweight Personal Bivy 1 to 6 Person Tent with Waterproof Tent Rainfly, Durable Stitched Tent for Camping, Beach, Backpacking, Hiking, and Festivals.

HERE IS ALMOST EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS TENT!We accompanied our daughter's 4th grade class on her first backpacking trip last week. She was set to share a tent with a friend and the school offered mismatched garage sale tents as their only option - unless they provided their own. I wanted a good 3 person tent that would give them enough room to put their packs inside and sleep comfortably. Most important was the weight - they were only allowed to carry 1/3 of their body weight in their packs. For my daughter this meant a mere 17 lbs and her friend only 20 lbs, so a light tent was a MUST (and needless to say, I didn't want to spend $400 on a backpackers tent)! This tent, split between the two of them was only 2.2 lbs each (I carried the 15 oz footprint). I searched through Amazon for hours reading specs and reviews from real people and I kept coming back to this tent. We needed the tent here within 2 days so having an Amazon Prime membership meant I wouldn't have to pay a huge fee for expedited shipppng. I also bought the footprint that goes with this tent and I was so glad I did... it rained on us throughout our hike into the Los Padres National Forest and the ground was wet and muddy. The bugs were really bad too!This tent was a snap to put up and two ten year old girls did it in minutes. The tarp fit perfectly under each corner pole securing it and ensuring it wouldn't move, even with the girls going in and out of the tent constantly. The directions were simple to follow and had pictures for every step, unlike my extremely expensive Papa Hubba tent which required I go on YouTube to figure out how to secure the rainfly! The rainfly was great, attaching to the tent easily and it even came with a good amount of cord to tie it down and really durable stakes! Again, these stakes were easier to use and held up better than the expensive after market ones I bought from REI!2 doors meant they could get cross ventilation during the day even with the rainfly, since each side rolled up easily and had 2 built in latches to secure it. As we sat in our $450 tent, with doors that were difficult to access with the rainfly in place, I was actually jealous of my daughter's $100 tent that could form a covered entryway by extending the door section of the rainfly out and propping it up with our hiking poles (or sticks would work)! There were handy pockets inside the tent for little things you needed to access easily and a place to hang their solar lantern from the center of the top (you just need a twist tie or carabiner). The zippers never stuck and they were pretty rough on them (since the bugs were terrible, it was a mad dash to open the tent and jump in and zip it up quickly before the critters came in with you). Even with the rainfly doors rolled up, there was a vestibule section on either side for dirty shoes or their entire packs - since 2 other girls who opted to use a school tent went to put it up only to find it was missing a pole and completely useless - so a third girl bunked in this tent the last night and the packs came out. It had plenty of room for 3 girls, their full sized pads and a bunch of stuff. It easily packs back into the little zippered bag (which has tie downs on it to cinch it down even further) and we even fit the footprint into the compact tent bag as well!THE ONLY NEGATIVE WE ENCOUNTERED: My daughter's friend's father was hanging out in the tent with her and he said he couldn't lay down flat unless he laid on a diagonal. He is about 6 feet tall. He loved the tent so much he was considering buying one but it was just a little too short. We are NOT tall people so that doesn't matter to us in the least, but if you are, you might want to consider this one point.The last qualification I'll add is that while we did set it up right after a rain (and there was water between the footprint and the tent which never came through the bottom at all) we didn't use the tent during an active rain storm. I doubt there would have been any problems, but if you're headed out camping in the rain and this concerns you, set it up first and hose it down to make sure.FOR THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY, YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER QUALITY TENT THAN THIS ONE - and even for more money you may still prefer this tent 😉

I had a really great trip with this tent. I bought all new camping gear for a winter campout. This tent combined with the other sleeping gear I bought was perfect. Received about 4inches of snow. Yes with that much snow the tent did get some precipitation, which would be expected with any tent. However I was warm and comfortable, with the perfect size tent for one person.

Will detail how/where tent was tested after listing pros & cons.Pros:+ Quick and easy set-up.+ Lightweight for size (5.25lb trail weight with fly, 3.48lb without.)+ Comfortable for two small sized adults. (Ideal for 1 adult, with room for belongings inside.)+ Fairly durable material.+ Weather sealing on seams.+ "Bathtub" floor kept inside dry.+ Good for 3 seasons; ample ventilation for summer; kept out condensation, and wind in brisk weather.+ Doors on opposite sides make for easy access.+ Vestibule has ample room for boots/packs.+ Vestibule can be propped up with trekking poles (if you know how) and makes for a good porch area.+ Plenty of options to secure rainfly doors out of the way for ventilation.+ Tent carrying case is a drawstring close, with a carrying handle AND two adjustable buckles. Material is durable. Useful for transport of tent, but also great for general use. (I used it as a travel bag for a quilt and chair.)Cons:- Uncomfortable for taller adults. (If 6ft+ you will need to lay at an angle.)- Doesn’t fit 3 adults. (Could fit 3 children, possibly small adults if they don’t mind snuggling up.)- Loose threads need to be taken care of by customer.- Stitching where the tent attaches to poles has small holes from tension. (Suggested to use a bug treatment spray at these areas to prevent small bugs coming in. Can reinforce with seam sealant to prevent further stress.)Overall: A good budget buy. If you're willing to do a spot check, and take some preemptive measures, then this is a reliable tent.First impressions:Upon receiving the tent I weighed each part and checked everything prior to set up.Originally I intended to use a footprint, but upon inspection of the tent I felt it was not needed. The material of the floor was fairly durable and adequately waterproofed. The seam along the tent floor was properly seam sealed and had no visible weak spots.When I examined the stitching along general areas (netting, zippers, doors, joining seams) I noticed some loose threads. Despite going through and taking care of those I found, I spotted a few more after set-up. The stitching itself seemed sturdy overall. A few high-stress areas, such as where the poles attach, needed some reinforcement for me to feel reassured. Would not be an issue for casual use, but if you will have it out for an extended excursion I advise doing a check prior to leaving! It's quick and easy to reinforce trouble areas, and doing so will lengthen the life of your tent.The rainfly was seam sealed well and made of durable weatherproof material that felt reliable. Typically I waterproof spray my tents but I decided to test this one as-is.This dome tent was quick and easy to set-up. As someone who has used many tents there was no need for instructions. Still, this is definitely a beginner friendly tent! The poles are kept in place by grommets on the tent corners, with the rainfly buckling into place, which leads to a freestanding tent. This makes it extremely easy to move around while you pick the perfect spot.Pack weight was roughly as follows:(Tent 0.93kg) (Fly 0.80kg) (Poles 0.44kg) (Stakes/lines 0.21kg)My intended use for this tent was backpacking. I tested it at home prior to bringing it out on a trip for more active testing.Main test opinion is that of a 5'5“ adult woman with a small build. Extra input given by 6'0" adult man with an average/medium build.First test:D1: 82°F sunnyN1: 69°F moderately rainy, mild windAfter setting up the tent in my yard I climbed inside. I found it to be perfectly roomy for one person and their gear. It could sleep two smaller adults comfortably, but would be a tight squeeze for 3 people. (If used for backpacking 3 can fit, but for casual campers you will want more room.) My taller husband would have to lay at an angle to sleep. We could both fit, but would require cuddling up and the right sized sleeping pads.The design felt sturdy and didn't shift around when climbing in/out of doors. With the main body being mainly mesh, it was very comfortable in hot and sunny weather. There are some mesh pockets inside for storage of lightweight items. A small hook is on the top of the tent to hang a lantern if wanted.After putting on the rainfly I opened the doors, propped open the vents and was able to enjoy the breeze without the tent flapping around. Rainfly secures well, sits away from the tent body, and comes down low enough to keep rain out but still provides airflow. I can see the potential for splash-back making it into the tent if the rainfly is secured with guylines and rain is moderate/heavy. This is not uncommon for 3 season tents, so is not an issue, but something to keep in mind if expecting rainy weather.The tent was left set up, with the rainfly secured and doors closed, overnight during a moderate rain. When checked in the morning the interior was dry. There were no leaks and all moisture/condensation was kept to the rainfly. It dried off quickly as the sun rose and was ready to be packed up.The tent was easy to pack up and fit easily into the provided sack. If you're good at rolling tents then the sack is actually bigger than necessary- a good sign. As a backpacker I was happy with how small the tent packed down!Second test:D1: 77°F cloudy, muggy, damp from previous days rain.N1: 51°F brisk, foggy with heavy mist.D2: 78°F extremely sunny.N2: 56°F moderate rain, mild wind.D3: 68°F cloudy, mild to moderate wind.This time I brought the tent along with me on a backpacking trip. After taking everything out of the provided sacks I found the weight to be reasonable for the quality/price. It’s not an “ultralight” tent by any means. However, for its size and material it is certainly lightweight. As it can sleep 2 adults the weight can be easily divided between two packs. I am a solo backpacker, but I found the comfort of extra room was well worth the weight.With how small the tent and rainfly pack down it was easy to fit into my pack without issue. I brought along the rainfly as I knew there would be rain, so the total weight was 5.35lbs. Not bad at all for the pricetag and size!After toting the tent some distance it was time to set up. The area had dense grass that was still damp from rain. I set up and was happy with how well the bottom kept out all of the moisture. The tub style was again appreciated, as it went up beyond the grassline and kept the inside dry and the bugs a little bit more at bay. It’s tick season here, so I was especially pleased with how fine the mesh netting was.Because it is spider and tick season I needed a tent that was well sealed and had enough room for me to keep my things inside at night. This provided both. I had room to set up my sleeping pad, lay out my things and sit up comfortably when inside. The vestibule had room if I wanted to keep things outside. It was nice to be able to put my shoes on outside of the tent while the vestibule was closed, so I could keep the interior clean.It rained while I was out and I had no leaks or moisture inside the tent. Condensation collected well on the outside of the rainfly and did not soak through the material. It dried quickly and was easy to pack up. I stayed dry when it was foggy, damp and when it rained. The rainfly never touched the tent even when the wind picked up a bit, which kept condensation away.When it was hot and sunny out I got rid of the rainfly and enjoyed the airflow of the mostly mesh tent. It was easy for me to see through the mesh, but still felt like it provided some privacy if viewed from a distance. It was also nice to be able to prop up the vestibule with my trekking poles to provide some shade while still getting added ventilation.The second night the tent was set up on earthy forest ground, with some roots etc. I got rid of anything potentially pokey that I could prior to set up. It was nice to have a free-standing tent in this instance, because when I felt a rough spot beneath the tent I was able to lift it up and clear the debris. The flooring was durable and I didn’t see any potential of damage despite the ground being a little rough.Tent held up well and provided both ample ventilation and good protection from the elements. It handled moderate rain and wind well. I wouldn’t recommend it for strong weather conditions. If there is a prolonged downpour, or heavy winds, there would be damage. That is to be expected with dome tents of this design, so it is not a design flaw. It is merely something to be aware of when choosing a tent!Finale thoughts:I was pleased with the performance of this tent. It was simple to set up, take down and pack up. The price is worth the quality of this tent.If you don't do spot checks it will not last very long! If you spend a few minutes and a couple bucks to reinforce it, then it'll hold up well. For a budget buy it's ideal.
