   Loved how easy it was to set up and the room we had for two people and all our gear. We camped in southeast Alaska where it can rain buckets but this trip we had exceptional weather and didn’t get to test the tent out for rain. I have no doubt that the tent will do well in wet conditions because of the material and how well built this tent is. Well thought out tent, rainfly is ample and has nice tie downs.

   The tent sting is not very firm, got broken when trying to fix it on to the sandland

   Great size for my son for Boy Scouts. Will sleep two with lots of room for their gear and could get a third in there if need be. Great that each boy has his own door, and that you can exit sideways instead of feet first or head first like his old tent. Outfitter model has sturdy floor and zippers which will take rough use by the boys his age. I’d give it 5 stars except that, like too many camping items, it comes with a storage bag that is way too small. Yes it fit just fine from the factory folded perfectly in a nice tight roll, but I had to buy a duffle bag to store it in.. I don’t understand why they won’t just make the storage bag a little bigger? Picture I included is of fully stuffed sack and the rain fly which can’t go in…and yes I tried rolling it with the tent, but then nothing fits in sack.

   We’re happy with our tent so far. We did a mock setup in the living room tonight since we won’t be actually using the tent for camping for a few weeks. Impressed with the size of the zippers and construction. Setup was easy. Glad we spent the extra money on this tent since we didn’t want the side vents on the less costly version. This tent is replacing a cheap Co***an three person tent we’ve used for 20+ years until the zippers finally failed. Happy to have the extra room and a quality tent. We measured the inside dimensions of the tent at 80″ W, 92″ L, and 52″ H. We’ve attached a photo of the stakes and guy ropes included with the tent. Ten stakes total, not sure about the length of the ropes. We’ll report back and possibly add another star once we’ve actually used the tent. 07/05/19 Update: We finally used the tent for 3 days of camping today. No issues and happy with the purchase.

   We purchased ours almost a year ago. Easy to set up, and built tough. We have camped in the fall, summer and spring with no issues using appropriate sleeping systems. We have been rained on 3 times and not a drop inside the tent. One night camping on the beach a thunderstorm rolled up and we had 35 mph gusts. This thing held firm with no issues. Not a drop of water inside. Full disclosure I did buy anchor style sand stakes for that trip. I would reccomend replacing the stakes with tri shape for everyday use. We have both. It is a bit heavy at 10 lbs but i expected that being an outfitter style tent. We split the carry weight between us to help. Had no issues hiking 4 miles in sand through bear island. Zippers have held up, no tears, no broken poles, never a leak. Love the 2 exit points and vestibules. Honestly for the price this is a fantastic tent. Only thing i would say is I think this is barely a 4 person tent. we have had 2 adults. One adult 5’6 165lbs, one adult 5’3″ 140lbs, 1 child 5’2″ 120lbs and 1 child 5’0″ 70lbs. Sleep comfortable in the tent but the ones of us on the far sides were up against the tent wall. I know we are a smaller family but i feel to really be comfortable this is more like 3 person tent. Excellent deal for the price. Would buy again but i cant see this tent failing for a very long time. Just replace your tent stakes with a better aftermarket option.

   I purchased this tent to stay warmer in the fall and early winter. As seen in the picture, on the left is my 4 person Cabelas Warthog and on the right is my new Alps Mountaineering 4 person Taurus Outfitter. The mesh venting on the Alps is considerably reduced on this tent. Also, you can zip shut the mesh vented windows on both zippered doors. The two top vents are also smaller than those on my Cabela’s tent. I used it this past weekend through two nights of hard rain and night temps that dipped down to 34°. Not a single drop of water leakage and even though I use a 0° sleeping bag in the winter, I left it unzipped and I stayed fairly comfortable in tent tent sleeping in just a T-shirt and boxers. The zippers are way heavier than those on the Cabela’s tent. The tent and fly fabric seems to be the same thickness but the tub floor is heavier. My only negative is that the flap that covers the zippers on the rain fly vestibule doors has a tendency to get stuck in the zipper when opening and closing the zipper. I’d say that this is a good fall and winter tent but I don’t think that I will be using it in the summer. I do feel that it was worth the money.

   The product does what is supposed to do. It is quite large tent with a very nice features, and it can be packed in quite small package.
