What reviewers say

CleverHiker's October 2026 guide picks the 4P for easy setup and high-quality materials, praising the space, ventilation and durable build. They dislike the half-height rear door, the tight carry bag and that the footprint costs extra. OutdoorGearLab's 2023 test of the 6P liked the roomy interior and vestibules, but found first setup tricky, few pockets, a noisy fly in wind and poorly sealed side windows.

Good

  • Standing headroom
  • Two doors, two vestibules
  • Good ventilation, quality materials

Not so good

  • Noisy fly in wind
  • Footprint sold separately
  • Few interior pockets

Who it's for

Families who car camp in fair to mixed weather and want room to stand and move. Campers at exposed, windy sites may want a lower tent.
