There are so many great things I can say about this tent. I wanted to wait to write my review on this tent until I had enough times to use it to really get an accurate feel for it. First of all it is so convenient. It literally is an instant tent. It is so easy to put up and take down. It takes me more time to set up things inside the tent than it does to put it up. The polls are already attached to the tent and stay there permanently. So all you have to do is take it out of the bag, extend the polls and stake it down. It is a very large tent. It has plenty of room in there. One thing I really like is that it is wall to wall head space. There is no place in the tent in which you have to duck. My wife and I both have twin size air beds that we have in an "L" shape in the tent. I have a small table in which I use my cpap machine at night. I have a large box fan, a very large cooler, boxes for our food and clothing in there. With all of that there is still a bit of space to walk around in. It has two doors and plenty of screen space. It does not come with the rain fly but there is one available for it. I recommend getting this. I have not tried the tent in the rain without it, but we did camp during a horrible storm with some pretty good gusts of wind. The tent passed with flying colors. The only wet area in the tent the next morning was a very small puddle on the floor. We chalked that up to not having it on a level surface. There was a dip in the ground exactly where the puddle was. Only negatives I can say about it, is that again it does not automatically come with the rain fly. There is no eport, however I just run an extension cord through the zipper door. Also the zipper can sometimes get stuck in the over-flap in the door. This can be frustrating. The negatives, however, are few enough for me to not love this tent. That is why it still gets 5 stars. Pros: Easy to put up. Easy to take down Very large, plenty of room With the rain fly it will keep you dry. Also holds up in decent gusts of wind. Cons: Does not automatically come with the rain fly. No Eport Zipper gets stuck in the over-flap. All in all I would not hesitate to get this tent. We have taken it on several adventures and are looking forward to calling it home for years to come.

This is easy to open and take down when I tried it in my home. I haven’t tried it at the beach yet. The problem is that the spring lock at the top to hold the bag closed came broken. It fell apart in my hand as I took the product out of the box.
