It's quite bulky. Sets up fast and easy. Roomy and an alternative to a roof set up. This is more convenient for me since I don't want to deal with climbing in up and down stairs to get in. The build is sturdy and withstand some random climate but haven't tried putting it through snow or high winds.

So, I bought these for a camping trip to the beach, based on some reviews online and from here. I have to admit I was abit skeptical since the packaging doesn't say it will work in sand. The short answer is: Yes they will work in sand, as long as you remove the top layer of loose sand and get down to where it's more compact. The plastic tube/handle works quite well, though if you do get any sand on the tube and then use it to turn the spikes in, the tube will get scratched up when you remove it from the sand stake. As for how well they held up, I used these on a Coleman 8 person tent and they held up even in high winds. The last day I was at the beach, we had a wind storm move through with winds pushing past 30 mph. The tent itself didn't hold up too well due to its size but it didn't budge from where it was staked in. Definitely worth the investment. What I would suggest for anyone considering these is go with the large ones for the main stake points and then these little ones for the supports/rain flys (if you have them).

We used this tent for the first time this weekend. It was a great tent for what we needed. Very spacious and pretty nice. However, while we were there it was raining and we noticed a few things. We had a leak at the top of the canopy that leads to the car. It leaked quite a bit. There was also a puddle inbetween the tent and the car. Thankfully the tent door, that we had down, was able to stop most of the water from entering our actual tent. U believe we had it all set up correctly and we were never able to figure out where the water was coming from. Other than that, this was a pretty good tent for us!

Resiste vientos moderados a fuertes sin ningún problema, probado para lluvia fuerte y no hubo filtraciones. Mejoraría la ventilación, al no tener ventilación superior hay condensación interna, la cremallera de la puerta si no se cierra con cuidado se atora. Fuera de eso cumple con las especificaciones técnicas.

Took it camping, and attactit too my 21 VW Tiguan. I was really pleased. Held up great to high winds. Lots of room and high ceiling. I would recommend this tent. I slept in back of my SUV and was able to close hatch and reopen into tent.
