I couldn't tell from pictures it didn't have a floor but super easy to put up and down. Used it for me and newborn at soccer games and brought a huge blanket it worked great. First day winds were really high so glad it came with extra set of anchors. Made it easy to figure out how to setup it up and it was super easy to set up. Thank God. Also a referee fell on it AND it got hit by balls several times without anything breaking or tearing 🙌

I can't say enough about this tent and the company that sells it!! Wow!! The tent is moderately heavy duty. The floor tarp is sturdy--I was camping in sage brush with some rocks and it held up fine. The zippers are all heavy duty (neoprene?) and are reasonably easy to connect and zip. There is a ton of room inside with plenty of room to stand up and move around. I had an oversize cot, a 3x3 table, a recliner camp chair and plenty of bagged gear inside. There was still plenty of room to move around! It holds heat moderately well. I used a propane lantern and it warmed up pretty quickly. Where I was camping, temps got down to the low 40s. It held up to strong rainstorms and wind. The biggest selling point for me was the ease of setup and take down. It took about 30 minutes to setup by myself (20 minutes with a friend) and the same amount for take down. The directions are clear. When I ordered it, I had a special request for shipping--the company was responsive (within 24 hours) and was able to help me out. Would be nice to have more vendors like this on whatcampingtent.com. On the mild downside, it is heavy in the bag (50-70lbs est. in the bag)--if you have back issues, keep that in mind. If you haven't used rope tighteners properly in the past (me), setup isn't covered in the directions--a quick Youtube helped me out. It is somewhat of a novelty so lots of folk will stop by and ask questions and ask to see inside. Have your whatcampingtent.com link handy to share with folk. The overall experience was great and the product is great! Buy this tent!

Product is very poorly made. Stitching is coming apart all over the tent. It will not last even one use. Not worth$45. Definitely returning it

I want to cheer, as I was able to finally get this to standing all by myself. This says one minute, but I think it took me more like 20 minutes learning how and one person is much more difficult. First time the legs are very difficult to extend enough to snap in place. I’m not that strong, so it was a bit of a struggle. I learned to make sure the red button pops up when locked. Again, make sure that red button is out all the way or it will collapse. After several attempts at extending the legs, they seems to snap in better, so perhaps with use, it will get better. Taking this down took about a minute and a few more to get it back in the bag. And, yes it fits back in the bag and it zips shut. Now, I have to say, that it is super cool once it is up and standing. It is light weight overall, so no struggles. I didn’t take the time to secure it to the ground, but you can see in the photo it looks pretty good and I can’t wait to use this to keep out flys, and the sun off me at the campground. I feel this is a good value.

Set up was easy. Just like a Colman. However, even though this tent says "waterproof" in its title, it is NOT waterproof. Colman tents are easy to set up AND are waterproof. I do a lot of camping. 10 months out of the year, I sleep in my backyard in a tent. Nothing wrong with my house, I just like being outside. The first few nights everything was fine. I am 6' 1" tall and I could almost stand up in this tent. When it was 36 degrees F outside, it was a bit warmer in the tent, still cold, but not bad. Then it rained and the water leaked in like a faucet. So, I waterproofed this ASFANES tent with a whole can of waterproofing tent spray. On all the seams, zippers, and the flaps over all of the zippers. A few days later, it rained again. It cut down on the speed of the water that got in, but it did not stop the water from getting inside the tent. The water did not come in as fast, but it still leaked in and pooled in the corners and under the floor mat that I had put in the tent. Save your money, buy a Colman.

If you like to ice fish and use a "quick fish" or any other brand pop up shelter you know that wind can blow your hut away. These anchors drill into packed snow extremely fast with a drill and if you do it at an angle so your line is pulling sodeways instead of straight out you get about 10x the line tension than pulling straight up...which in snow is only about 5 lbs of force. If I'm willing to carry these out on the lake to ice fish then they have to be worth their weight in energy to carry out there. I like my shelter to stay in place! A+ rating from me. If you want a SERIOUS tent stake I'm sure you would strain your back trying to pull these straight out. Bring a drill. The included 14mm drivingnut makes these stakes a cinch to install!

1 Year Update: Just keeps getting better. I used this a handful of times in some pretty insane rain and never got a drop on me, the wind also barely moved it. This thing is tough and waterproof 100%. What good is a lighter weight rainfly if its tissue paper? This thing is a beast and I will be getting another, awesome product. Upon set up I was surprised to see quality stitching in the corners and through the seams of the tarp. Each angle and cut was clean and precise which you don't always get budget gear. The stakes were light and strong and the included cordage was reflective which was an awesome touch! I bought a roll thinking I'd have to change it but I was surprised to see it came with it. Everything functioned perfect and I was able to set it all up pretied for quicker deployment and stuff it back in the bag. That being said the stuff sack is just a hair to small when you roll this up and let's be honest you won't get it perfect when it's raining or your rushing but overall it's not a deal breaker. I would highly recommend as it has great coverage and the included accessories were thought about and not some cheap knock offs. Great product! Excited to buy another for my second hammock

We watched a video which helped but there was no directions. We laid the cover out flat . Filled bags with sand. The more the better. Raised poles at a slant and pulled bags to counter weight. It’s still standing!

This is the second Klymit cross canyon then I’ve had. The first one was the two person. I really liked it and abused it nonstop for half a year (I’m a full-time nomadic tent camper.) Here it is almost a year and 5 tents later and I've secured a second cross canyon. As a solo camper a 4 person tent is a great size for comfort with furnishings. I have a large club chair, a cot, two folding tables and plenty of room for additional gear. I’m 5’4” tall and the tent was easy for me to put up and i can stand upright inside of the tent. The materials used to make this tent seems a bit cheaper than the 2 person I have. For a sub $200 tent that's a bit of an expected drawback. I am tempted to order one from klymit direct to see if there is a difference in material quality. Overall I'm satisfied with the tent so far. I expect it to last about 5 months with daily usage.

I don't write many product reviews. I'm just too busy doing other things. But in this case, I'm going to take the time to review this tent that has literally saved my life on a few occasions. For background, I work as a backpacking guide for an educational organization in Montana. I'm often out for 3-12 weeks at a time in the summer and fall. The courses I teach take students out into a variety of rough landscapes - the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Glacier NP, the Great Burn WSA, Upper Missouri Breaks, and the GYE. I need a solo tent that can handle extreme temperatures during both seasons, is supremely waterproof, that's fairly lightweight and easy to set up. The Elixir 1 has ticked every single box. Pros: - the quality of the materials are the biggest pros for me. Everything feels extremely durable. The fly and floor of this tent are twice as thick as many other one-person ultralight tents, which of course means the tent as a whole is heavier but supremely waterproof. This saved me more than once when we were caught in extended periods of hard rain. On one occasion, we were caught in so much rain that the cirque started to slide. Several tents were pushed down slopes by mud and every single tent flooded...except mine. I was bordering on hypothermic having spent 3 hours counting between thunder and lightening strikes to determine whether or not to keep students in or out of tents. If my tent had flooded and my sleeping bag had been soaked through, I'm really not sure I could have re-warmed myself. - The pole system is elegant and very rigid. I spent several nights in winds exceeding 40mph and the tent barely shook. Especially when guyed out, this tent is rock solid. - The weight and packability are fairly good and more than worth it for the superior materials - This thing is roomy for a one-person. I'm over 6' and can stretch out completely without touching the tent walls. I can also sit up inside and change clothes/read without my head being cramped. It's also wide enough to where I was able to store most of my gear and clothing in the tent next to me, which was an advantage during those heavy rains and muddy camps - That being said, the vestibule is very roomy - plenty of space for my pack and extra gear - The gear loft pockets are very convenient for small items - The general aesthetics of the tent are excellent - classic MSR colors Cons: - I used the footprint on every occasion for extra protection. I do wish the footprint's rivets were designed to where the tent could be moved with the footprint attached (otherwise, when you pick up the tent to move it, the footprint just falls off and it's a pain to reattach) - The default stakes should be replaced with MSR Groundhogs. I do this with every tent. If I was MSR, I just wouldn't bother manufacturing any other stakes. The Groundhogs will save you some weight, they don't bend, and they're way stronger than the hook design. - While the colors look sharp, the white tent fabric does show every spec of dirt and mud. Some backpackers take pride in their gear looking filthy. I do not. They could replace the white with a grey that would hide more dirt. - Ventilation is fairly good, but it could be better with an additional fly vent or two. All things considered, this little tent is just perfect for the price. Serious kudos to MSR for designing a bombproof tent for all conditions.

I love the size of this. It's going to be perfect for those rainy, breezy, cold fall days at soccer games & practices! I won't miss a thing being able to see readily out of 270°. I could see this being useful for those cold Midwest trunk or treats too. Comes up easily as long as it isn't too windy. Poles for the roof help the tent hold its shape. Comes with two patches for screen and pvc windows, stakes, and 6 strong magnets to hold the flaps it to vehicle. It fit my minivan well and we moved it to the grass to see how it did as stand alone tent as well. Bugs would have a difficult time making it into the tent and comes with the optional tarp for the floor. It's 75°F outside here today and it was very warm inside. Pvc sides are optional so we rolled them up to let the air blow through. this will be a staple for fall sports for our whole family and maybe even friends! I could see 4 adults and a couple kids fitting well; tightly as 6 adults.

I chose the 15 x 12 inflatable Yoleny tent because it has a high eave compared to others that have only 3’ eave height. That makes a lot of difference in inside height. I like that it has a partition inside and have two 2’ x 2.5’ skylights. It’s easy to setup and has no air leakage so far. The tent is made of high quality material and inflating is easy as long as you take turns with a partner or two. The best part is it has a lot of space and my daughter calls it a house because it’s a huge tent. It fits a family of four with one queen and one full size air mattress in one room and with tables and chairs in the other room (we call it bedroom and kitchen/dining area). Overall, I am very pleased with this product and will highly recommend it.

I will say my son loved this a little too much- he’s 99% 6 month old and I was surprised how much room he has to grow in this (I bought the smaller one- glad I did!) this is made of tent like material and is light and packed easily into a carry on that he and I shared for a 4 day trip. It is noisy! He found out quickly how to make wonderful sounds by kicking his legs and spinning in circles- he was happy as a clam but definitely made bedtime a bit tricky- I think this will improve with age. We let him fall asleep first then zipped him in for the night. Love how the sheet zips in and mattress is below the tent so no worries about SIDS risks with loose fabrics. I wish I had gotten this in the first place instead of a pack and play which is heavy and cumbersome and we will likely never use now.

Screwed down into my yard just fine. I used them to anchor down the platform that my shed sits on. I ended up using two carabiners instead of the cable. It was easier in my situation since the anchors were close to where they were being connected to. I saw another review stated it dug a hole instead of going down in the ground. I did some experimenting and found this is the case of you rotate the anchor the wrong way. Make sure you’re screwing it in like a bolt—righty tighty.

This is the second Peirhw pop-up tent that I have tried, and I have to say that I am quite a fan. This is a newer and mostly upgraded model, with a couple of minor setbacks. Like their older model, this tent is fun and impressive to set up. Just remove it from the bag and throw it into the air; it flies open and a tent lands on the ground. You might have to straighten out a couple of hoops, but it’s still fun and fast. You need to use stakes or weights at each end to keep the tent flat on the ground and not curling up. To put the tent away, just close the hoops like an accordion and twist it twice, like an enormous folding laundry hamper. Set up and take-down instructions are printed on a piece of waterproof plastic sewn into the bag. I wish this type of instructions was an industry standard for sporting goods. We typically sleep with our heads and feet towards the windows. My spouse and I sleep on a 2-person mattress in the middle of the tent, and we put each of our 2 kids on smaller mattresses by each door. You can do this with a queen air mattress as well, though it pushes against the edges of the tent a bit. A significant improvement in this new model is the windows, which can be opened and shut from inside the tent like a traditional dome tent. However, there are a few new problems, too. The worst is that this new model no longer has hanging loops inside the tent for suspending a lantern or flashlight. Less of a big deal is that there is also no longer an elastic band sewn to the outside to help keep the folded tent closed while stowing it in the bag. Just like the previous model, beware that the door does not zip on the bottom. The mosquito netting zips all the way shut so the tent is sealed from bugs, but I camp in the PNW where you typically expect more coverage. The rainfly is still a joke, barely covering the skylight. This still isn’t a tent for backpacking to the Olympic wilderness coast in winter, but it’s my favorite for car camping with the family.
