   Bought this tent and foot print a while back. Sets up easy, fairly light weight considering the size and that the poles are fiber glass. Nice and roomy. The flooring rips easily. I have gone camping 6 time in it and have noticed it condensed considerably in temps below 50. Its more of a summer tent than a 3 season. It’s dry in light rain. Good for car camping. Not bad for the price. Wish the floor was stronger so it gets 3 stars.

   Great tent, moderate setup (one person), would be easy with two people. Had a massive thunderstorm roll through on the second night in it, stayed bone dry all night, wind didn’t bother it either. All in all a great tent. Highly recommend.

   I have several more expensive tents, but wanted something lighter and more simple. My criteria was 1) natural color 2) spacious 3) full rain fly 4) light weight I liked certain features, but the cheap fiberglass poles were a problem. I decided to order tent and replacement aluminum poles at the same time. For about an additional $50 (2 cross poles and 2 roof poles), I have the tent that meets my criteria and still cost only under $250 total. The tent, with aluminum poles, is quite light enough to pack for a hunting camp with a roomy tent. In the pic, Slumberjack tarp serves as a sun shade in Arizona’s early archery elk season.

   Tent does not match images on whatcampingtent.com site, the manufactures site and the box it came in. The tent is shown having clips to hold the poles up, but the tent actually has two long sleeves to run the poles through. I had a camping trip the next day. I used it anyway because I had to, but now I can’t return it. Tent is Ok. This tent will annoy me every time I have to run the poles through the sleeves instead of clip them on like the description shows. Customer service at Slumberjack was very poor. Return it if you don’t like it they said. They took no responsibility for misleading customers.

   This tent is well built and easy to pitch. I have owned a 2 person Slumberjack tent for years and have never had an issue with it. This tent seems to be just as dependable. I have used these tents in wind, rain, and snow and have always stayed dry. I would recommend this tent to anyone who wants a durable yet affordable family tent.

   Just as described – even at 6-person size, I was able to set up and break down with just the “help” of my 8-year old son and 6-year old daughter 🙂 .. Only 1 minor issue as that the fly instead of having clips in all corners, 2 corners instead had loops, which seems like a manufacturing oops. I could still secure the fly completely with no issue, so it did not impact the function of the tent. Very spacious and airy, and the porch sets up easily with trekking poles and 4 guide wires to secure them against wind. Thank you

   I was a bit concerned it would not be what I was looking for but this exceeded my expectations. I looked for months to find a “screenroom with floor” to no success. I have small dogs I want to keep in the area without the fear of them slipping under the sides and getting away. This is perfect for them. They can see out when they are laying down so they don’t pace around feeling left out of the action.
   It is roomy enough to put down an outdoor rug and have several people sitting in camp chairs. The fly overlay can be rolled away to keep out the sun and expose only the sides you wish to. Completely recommend.

   Nice roomy tent. Quality materials. The pics are not correct, there are sleeves for the poles but they work.

   Let’s get some details up front and out of the way: this is first and foremost a car camping tent because of the weight (close to 20 lbs in all- backpacking tents should ideally be under 5 lbs max), has PLENTY of space for 4 campers (a palace for 2), lets you easily stand up in it being ~6 foot tall, and does not include the poles required to create a nifty awning. Now before buying this, I researched tents for days, weeks even, with several time gaps between heavy readings to let the information settle. After a lot of deliberation and being on a tight budget, I decided to purchase the tent. This decision was largely due in part to the price being 2/5 of the LIST price (suggested MSRP). I’ve seen the tent since then cost quite a bit more, so that, in all honesty, puts the Daybreak 6 in competition with A LOT more tents than I was considering at the time. With that said, is it a good tent? Yes. It’s a solid performer. Is it worth it? I would say yes, but that really depends on your budget and what else you’re considering at the current price listing. A few other notes: I would recommend having a second person there for the setup, but I have been able to do it on my own many times with little issue. I’ve been using the tent with the separately available footprint and REI adjustable tarp poles with no complaints other than the lack of an upper vent in the rain fly.
