   Not a tent expert, necessary to say first, so I don’t know how many stars to give it. Bought this Midair 3 on sale to be an upgrade to a cheap Wal*** tent now over 10 years old, used at least 20 times, and still can function, btw despite dry rot. So back to the Midair 3: Wet weekend up in the woods, and it leaked significantly from the bottom up. Set up my tarp footprint inside the edges, so no apparent mistake there. I never spray waterproofed the bottom, initially thinking no need with a bathtub style bottom. You HAVE to use the fly at all times unless privacy and / or blowing dust are not a concern. It also leaked rain from the top peak vents in the fly, and I believe it was closed properly. After drying it out, I spray waterproofed the bottom, including the one and only seam. I taped the peak vents on the fly closed permanently. There is no way they would hold dry in sideways rain, and on a hot dry night, the side ventilation is expansive. Not a tent geek, but it does seem to have limitations. Guess you get what you pay for.

   Apr. 2022 Update: My father (~200lbs, 6’1″) and I (6′, ~180lbs) used this as a base camp this past fall when elk hunting in Montana. We had light precipitation once or twice and it held up fine. We did have some gusty winds a couples of days that tried to push this around, but I had it staked down well and had no issues. it left the two of us plenty of extra elbow room for a little bit of extra gear in the tent without us knocking shoulders. It’s a little cool at night (any tent is), but you can stake the rainfly down pretty close to the ground to minimize the wind without a whole lot of effort. Anywho, it held up well and is still bigger than I’d prefer for backpacking– but for sharing a tent near the truck, it worked perfectly. ——————— The packed size and overall weight (basically 6 lbs 14 oz) are larger and heavier than I would like. That’s the only reason this isn’t coming in at 5 stars from me. I bought this and a 2 person tent for a trip this fall and will update once I put it through some real world usage. Past that, it is easy to set up, huge for 2 people, can actually fit 3 people, well built, and over 4′ tall inside at the peak. This has two side doors with decently sized vestibules, making entry and exit pretty easy. This is a good sized, well made tent and is not coming from some no-name Asian manufacturer. This is possible (though slightly annoying) to set up with one person, but a breeze with 2. Sure, look at the directions the first time, but after that, you’ll see that this is easy to put together and everything important is color coded, so you don’t need to read them again. Hooks with the gold straps hook to the gold poles. Green straps to the green pole. The rainfly corners with gold straps match the same color straps on the tent corners– same with the green rainfly straps. If you don’t want to use the rainfly, the upper portion of this tent is about 1/2 mesh (the really fine mesh that keeps out the smallest of pests). Inside this is 50″ at the peak (without the little mesh shelf– which is handy for drying damp clothes) and it plenty of room for 2 adults, their packs, and a dog or two. Sitting up (playing cards in the rain), you can fit in 4-5 adults. Lying down, you can fit 3 full sized adults, with some room at the foot for gear, but you will be bumping shoulders if you’re broadly built. The floor is waterproof, seam sealed, and has reinforced corners. The floor wraps into a tub to help keep out water and is probably about 6″ in height (I forgot to measure). This does not come with a separate ground sheet and that may be something you want to consider for durability with regards to sharp rocks/sticks, etc. Outside, the two side doors each have a decent sized vestibule and the rainfly has peak vents that pop open with a little built in spacer. Do keep in mind that you can’t reach this from inside, so you’ll have to prop this open before zipping up for the night. All of the rope tie downs are cord with reflective material, which should make it slightly harder to trip over in the dark and slightly easier to find at night if you’re returning to the tent late. The pack does include a note about seam sealing, but as near as I can tell, everything is already sealed and good to go. I imagine this is for touch ups or repairs down the road, but I wish they were a bit more clear. If you are truly using this for 3 adults, it will be a hair snug, but the weight can be divided somewhat evenly to about 2-3 lbs per person. For two adults, this tent is overkill in my opinion– but it does allow for extra room if you have any kids or four legged companions with you. Overall, my only complaints are size, weight (both of those due to the overall size of the tent more than anything, they did not include any needlessly heavy components), the included stakes seem pretty plain-Jane/cheap, and the lack of a separate ground sheet (a few bucks to buy one or make one out of Tyvek). So, really, nothing serious. Overall, this is a well built 3-season tent that I expect to work well for many adventures.

   We used this for back country camping in Yellowstone. It is a heavier tent, but as this was my girlfriend’s first back country experience I did not want to pay more for a tent with added lightness. It’s easy to set up, easy to take down, and very stable. Why did I knock off a star? It came with 8 pegs, but the instructions advise using more.

   I’ve had this tent for three seasons now and it’s seen me through wind, rain, and hail and stayed dry without fail. It could not be easier to pitch and has really held up. I considered spending a lot more for a snootier brand and a few less ounces, but this was a great choice

   I wanted to love this tent, I have 2 other Eureka! tents, a 4-5 person and a single (2) person, however I’m returning this one . . . not because it’s not a great tent, but I want something that I can see out of when I’m inside, and when the rain fly is on it’s almost impossible to see out. I liked that it was easy to set up, came with aluminum poles, was plenty roomy for us. Still I would recommend this tent to anyone who doesn’t mind not seeing outdoors when inside. However, when the rain fly isn’t on the sky’s the limit!

   Midori 3 I set up this tent at night by myself it was easy. I like the features of this tent. I wish the tent stakes were a lil better. I haven’t camped with rain yet.

   There is lots of mesh on this tent, which is excellent for ventilation but you NEED the rain fly if you want any privacy. I’m scared one day the mesh will get holes in it but so far so good, and I’ll be very careful

   Just replaced our “3 person” (2 is more realistic really) with this fantastic tent. Great price, and features that all the high end tents charge three times as much for. Six inside pouch pockets and gear loft. Lots of screen, we camp mostly in Florida so that’s important. Holds a queen mattress with plenty of room to spare. First set up and take down was very easy, standard diagonal main poles, the third pole is not on center, but I figured it out without the instructions. One thing I like the best is the doors open the same way, most tents have opposing doors, when there’s two persons using the tent this can be annoying. Looks very sturdy. Can’t wait to put it to the test canoe camping.
