It rained about only 4mm on 20 July in Montreal. Although I had a heavy duty tarp below the tent, water still seeped in from the bottom, through the base layer which is pretty thin. To its credit, water did not come in through the top, or the seams.

I had bought this tent to upgrade in size from my 3m by 3m Decathlon tent, but this is a disappointing buy.

In late July, the manufacturer contacted me and has satisfactorily addressed the product issue that I experienced. As a result of the positive customer service, I am upgrading the review from 1 star to 3 star.

We absolutely love this 3-4 person pop-up tent! The setup is incredibly easy and quick, which makes it perfect for family camping trips. The vestibule provides extra space for storing gear, and the mesh windows keep the tent well-ventilated while keeping bugs out. It's windproof and waterproof, so we stayed dry and comfortable even during a light rain. The tent is lightweight yet sturdy, making it easy to carry for hikes. Overall, it’s the perfect camping companion for outdoor adventures. Highly recommend for families or small groups!

I've been overlanding for almost 30 years. Dometic is typically a high quality, go-to brand. When I decided to ditch my roofrack awning for a portable, I chose this from Dometic over a Big Agnes of similar design but with more features based on my prior experiences with the brand. But first field use (we practiced set up and take down at home prior to our trip as is our usual) the cords inside the poles started showing slack making it very hard to connect the poles and set up.

We made it work but will probably return it.

So, just like the collapsible car window shades, you have to figure out just the right way to get it collapsed. It is hard to figure out and it never seems to go back the same way twice. Opening and deploying is easy and it provides a good privacy area for my overlanding trips for the potty or showers. The case is nice so that if I have to put it up while still dirty, it stays contained. It just takes some thought to get it put away properly. I feel like I will bend the metal before long.
