I got this originally as a backpacking tent, for just one person. So my main surprise was how large the unopened tent is, when I was hoping to just connect it to my backpack as I hiked.. This one is huge when folded up, so I'm not sure how I'd carry it around.. But when I opened it up, I was impressed at the size/comfort of this tent, and the color is very nice. What I love about these tents is no setup, so I can go hiking longer before having to stop for the night, and just pop this up when I'm ready. It is WAY more spacious on the inside than it looks, and I was expecting much smaller so I can't tell if I like having more space or not, when it's for just me and I'm small with minimal belongings.. Overall I was surprised at how nice this tent seems, which is why I'm torn on whether to keep it. It was very easy to fold up too (with instruction video), the easiest one of these I've folded up actually, but it would be the most awkward thing to carry while backpacking when the folded up package goes up to my waist in height, so as of now I'm torn on whether or not I'm keeping it... A couple suggestions, would be nice if we could adjust the windows from the inside of the tent, rather than the outside. (Though the netting on the tents is very nice-- you can't see through on the outside very well unless you get close, meaning better privacy while still seeing out.) And for the doorways of the tents, it would be cool if the "connection" for one of them was actually at the top of the tent rather than the side, because then it could double as a little "canopy" where you could sit outside the tent and still have a little shelter/shade... Overall it is a very nice tent for the price, though I'm mixed on quality/durability since the edges were already scuffing up from me just opening and then closing it once.. It's pretty thin overall, but that works for warmer climates too..

These metal stakes were the best buy for us, reasonable pricing, sturdy, perfect length and the best to anchor our pipe to prevent the cable inside from getting cut or damaged. In addition, they worked well at holding our plant stand in place behind our pond.

I bought it last month. It seems to be a good tent. I'm so far pretty happy with it. It's actually held up very nicely in a pretty windy day where other tents in my group were basically flattening and laying down in the wind. Setup is quick, easy and intuitive. I like the overhead storage place -- it works nicely to lay a lantern up there and see what you're doing. Also it's nice that it's plenty long for a tall person. They gave a bit of extra room for comfort there -- I'm 6' 0" and me and my mattress lay down in there with some room to spare above the head and below the feet -- which is appreciated. It's a 2-man tent. I feel like if you kick your gear out, you might actually be able to sleep two adults in there, but I bought it mostly to just fit me and my gear, and it's perfect for that. I like the doors on both sides and the vestibules on both sides. The doors zipper almost all the way off, so you can really open it up wide if you want. I was in it for a fairly significant rain storm on its first night and it was flawless - no water inside the tent that I can't blame on just me bringing it in the tent on entry. My only complaint about it is pretty minor -- just something to watch for now -- there is a run in the screen netting on one side where it looks like part of the screen material is coming loose/being pulled out (See photo) I'm just being careful with it to not make it worse. The tent is completely functional still. I'm just going to watch that spot and try to not disturb it.

This is a pretty sturdy Poop Tent! We’ve had others that are similar looking/foldable to this “Giant & Tall”, but they could not stand up (literally) to the elements of camping. It’s also a plus that the top section isn’t “open-air” like some others. All four sides are interconnected at the top. It adds to the overall stability of the Poop Tent! 4 Stars! (Rather than 5...because I haven’t used it for more than a couple months, so I cannot attest to the overall longevity.)

I like the product but the instructions sheet was missing from the panel on the carrying bag

Purchased this to keep in my car for beach days. Easy to setup. Thin material so it can catch the wind and fly up while you’re pitching it; so be mindful of that on any windy day or around quick wind gusts. I see it up by myself on a beech in Chicago on one of THE hottest no clouds in the sky day. Provided a comfortable spot to get out of the sun. I even fell asleep in the tent for a little under an hour and was comfortable and didn’t feel the heat bearing down on me. It has a loop at the top of the tent for a light or fan. I purchased a light/fan combo for my next time out. I think it can fit two adults fully covered if you lie the length of the rent or at an angle. If you’re wanting to simply keep the sun off of most of your body, you can fit two beach chairs and adults. As you can see there was space for my beach chair, my small cooler and my bag. 4 pockets around the perimeter to place sand in it and serve as weights. I recommend you use quart sized ziplock bags and fill them with sand (or floral stones from Dollar Tree) and place those in the weight pockets. This will help with cleanup once you leave. Also purchased a lock to lock the tent if I need to make a quick run to grab food or to the bathroom. Simply gathered the zippers and placed the shaft of the lock through the holes in the zippers. Let’s be clear if someone wants to get your stuff they can. The tent isn’t Firt Knox but they’ll have to spend a little bit of time getting through the lock or cutting the tent itself. If you’re looking for a lightweight option for those impromptu beach or park days, this is a good option.

It's a perfect fit for my hammock and seems to be a good material, attachment points at solid. No complaints

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.

Easy to set up looks great Good deal for the price Very well made

I purchased this with the Space Acacia XL tent. Didn't get to use it yet because the ground at our campsite was all rocks, but the quality is top notch and it comes packed with its own poles and carrying bag. This not only offers shade in the summer but drops down over the tent to add a layer of warmth during the winter. Definitely recommend to add this with your tent.

I have wanted to get it for a while, and I finally decided to buy one. I already have a mosquito tent but wanted to buy something that can fit in the scout tent at the campsite for my son. * I put a 24 x 72 x 2 inch mattress to try to see how it is. * I am a 5ft XS-S size woman. Here are pros and cons. Pros: 1. It is light and compact to carry 2. There are hooks inside, where you can hang a light camp lamp or a small fan 3. Net is very fine so no mosquito can come in 4. It has a pocket for small items 5. You can secure the corners on a cot Cons: 1. Inside is about 29 x 71 x30. It feels smaller than it looks, because it is tapered towards the top. 2. My arms or legs rub against the net when I try to toss and turn. 3. I can’t sit up normally (I’m 5ft) with 2inch mattress. My head pushes very tightly against the top part. So it’s hard to get changed inside this. 4. It is hard to fold if you don’t practice folding it several times. Conclusion: If you or a scout have cleithrophobia (fear of being trapped) or claustrophobia, I wouldn’t recommend it. I have cleithrophobia and I felt suffocated inside after closing the zipper! If your scout is on the small side, or don’t mind a small space, it is a nice mosquito net tent. But your scout will grow quickly so they may not be able to use it next year! I bought this for my 64 inch (and growing) son, but it is small even for me. He finds it too small too, so unfortunately I will have to send it back. I am very disappointed that it is not for us! But if you buy one, I suggest that you practice folding several times before using. My son used a similar mosquito net and he practiced several times before the summer camp, so he could fold it. But he helped 4 scouts who couldn’t fold the Mosquito Oasis and similar nets because they didn’t practice folding!

This is only a initial review for this Zion two person tent. I start camping when I was 18, when I start have my own car. I own numbers of tents in the past, from Nemo one person to a eight person REI kingdom 8 family tent, I also have try these $50 four person tents form coleman. Two years ago I start using car roof top tents. But I have a Kayak camping trip coming up is May, I need a new light weight two person tent. I have use Hyke & Byke sleeping bags for long time, their product quality is very good and this Zion price did not break your bank. SO I give it a try. When I receive this tent, I can tell it is a well build and easy to use tent. takes me under 8 minutes to set up. I live in the northeast, I must use rain fly. but still is not to bad for kayak camping. For backpacking maybe a bit on a heavy side but depends on how far you hike for the camp. I love this tent use only 4 short guidelines, and a top storage mesh are handle. all the tent stakes are aluminum. I suggest to open up the tent to let it fresh up before first use, because it has a very strong ammonia smell, maybe is the coating, it takes up to few days for the smell be gone. I will follow up a real life use review after I use it. Update after use it 4th times of this amazing tent. No complain at all! 1 time is under bad weather, no issue!

I contemplated buying this tent for over a year. We didn’t set it up when it arrived in Dec., but on our first use in June, way outside the return window. Right out of the bag, one of the roof poles had a broken elastic cord. We had to piece it together and finagle it to get it to stay in place. A pretty good wind kicked up while it was set up, and the other roof pole bent in half, rendering it useless for the rest of our trip. We had all the guy lines staked out and everything set up properly. I contacted Eureka, and they were amazing to work with. They answered email quickly, and sent 2 replacement roof poles free of charge and free shipping. They arrived within 3 days of emailing me the notification that they were replacing the poles. Pros - standing room from edge to edge. Big screen windows - can be used as a screened shelter when windows aren’t covered. Great place to escape the sun and bugs. Lots of airflow between rain fly and roof. Cons - poles could be made of stronger material, especially for a tent that’s almost $500. I would give this tent five stars all day if the poles had been better. I would give it six stars for Eureka customer service. I’ll update after the next trip using the replacement poles. Hopefully I just got a bum batch of roof poles. Update - used it 4 times over the summer/fall. The replacement poles are still perfect. I think I may have not had the rain fly corner poles in the correct position where the reinforced areas are (you have to really stretch the rain fly) but it tore near where the poles make contact. I was able to repair with duct tape, and I always put another type cover over the rain fly anyway, particularly in rainy areas. I suspended clear tarps off the sides on a particularly rainy trip, and it stayed dry as a bone and I was still able to leave windows open and see outside. The tent is ample for two cots, a small table, and two camp chairs. I love it, but still giving 4 stars for the weak fabric the rain fly is made of.

I definitely did not NEED another tent - I've purchased SO many in the last 3 years. Most recently a Blacktail 2 Hotel less than 2 months ago. I came across this Tetra 160. I looked at it for a few weeks knowing I shouldn't. But also knowing I eventually would. Black Friday pricing dropped, and I went for it. I've only been able to take it out once so far - even had the pleasure of putting it up the first time in the dark. And I'm already pretty sure this is gonna be my Go-To for a while. For my motocamping, this is a great, single wall, 2p tipi tent with a floor/mesh sleeping area and a large vestibule. It's lightish and smallish when packed. Easy to put up / take down, and with minimal (any?) fiddle factor - double walled tipis where you have to string up the inner mesh and then the outer fly are no fun. The venting is pretty brilliant, and also raises the "base" of the tipi so that there is plenty of room for a 6' person to not have to worry about head or feet touching the walls, or that typical, oppressive, tipi/pyramid wall-in-your-face feeling. Kudos to 1TG for using shock cord locks for the door keeper toggles. This is genius, and I've only seen it on one other tent I own (Naturehike VIK1). I just received a carbon pole extender to use my carbon trekking pole instead of the included aluminum pole. Before the pole extender arrived, I also came across (and ordered!) a custom .710 carbon tent pole from Ruta Locura. This is not to say there's anything wrong with the included aluminum pole - it is more than adequate. To compare the Tetra 160 to my new Blacktail 2 Hotel: • $180 vs the BT $300 • 4lb vs the BT 6lb+ • Very similar square footage (leaving out the seldom used secondary/small vestibule of the BT) Tetra 160 is 31' (94x47) and 31' vestibule (62' total) BT is 33' (90x52) and 28' main/large vestibule (61' total - secondary/small vestibule adds 9') • One pole vs the BT four poles - definitely less fiddly to put up / take down. Can use trek pole or stick (or even top loop) if wanted/needed. • Better for windy conditions (it's a tipi!). The BT, sadly (oddly), does NOT have fly/pole velcro. Needs on a future Tetra: • Two corner poles should be removable. For packing on a moto, smaller/unfixed packs better than longer/fixed. The Tetra packs down fairly small, but the built-in poles keep it from being packed down to easily half its current pack size. There's really no reason each corner couldn't be a double-ended, spiked pole, held in place with grommets on each of the corner straps (or again, sticks if needed). I typically stuff my tents and carry the poles separately (in an area where they won't break if the bike is dropped), so adding the two shorty poles to the single main pole would be great. • A full suite of mid-tent guyout points (4 corners, 4 mids) as is usually found on most tipi/pyramid tents. The Tetra has 4 oddly placed guyouts - 1 left mid, 1 right mid, 1 left-forward corner, 1 right-forward corner. Odd in that those are the only 4, and they are biased towards the front/door of the tent. I do plan on pitching it front (door) into the wind, so this setup should be mostly fine, but if the wind direction changes, I would like guyouts keeping the middle of the tent from bowing in from all directions. In the meantime, I have a set of GripClips that I purchased for the Blacktail's lack of fly/pole velcro (why, Big Agnes??), and they should work fine for the 4 "missing" guyouts on the Tetra. Wants on a future Tetra: • Gear loft / light attachment points. There are NONE. This could have been easy, even using, say, the mesh storage organizer from 1TG's WORKTOP table. Heck, go big - one in the mesh area and one in the vestibule! But minimum would be to have internal loops where each of the 8 guyout points SHOULD be. The mesh door keeper toggles are usable, but not ideal. For now, I'll be putting a 1TG Camping Lanyard (loops) over the pole, with half in the mesh and half in the vestibule (more kudos to 1TG for the half inch loop strap vs everyone else's one inch straps). And if I use the GripClips they will have internal loops as well. • Colors. The Urban Grey is much better than all of the silly/bright colors used in most tents. But I would have expected Coyote/Khaki/Green choices from 1TG. Anyway, that's way too many words to say "This tent is great!" Hopefully my [censored] moto shop will give me MY bike back soon (loaner in the pics) so I can get back to my regularly scheduled motocamping with this fantastic tent!
