"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."


"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."

"We have traveled to 3 countries with it, set it up on taxis etc."


"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"


"sets up in under 3 min including stake out time. ... Take down is just as fast and it fits in its storage bag with out much fuss. ... set up in under 90 seconds 120 if you putting in stakes."

"uppababy has amazing customer service ... if you buy the travel bag and use it while flying, they will overnight you a new stroller if it breaks."


"Then one of them started to produce a high pitched noise every now and then, called them and they sent me, get a load of this, a brand new one, sealed, worth 700 euros. Not a single question asked, just straight RMA"


"For me the thermarest warranty has been worth its weight in gold ... every interaction I’ve had with them has been amazing, no questions asked replacement or repair"

"I've had it up in a downpour and it stayed totally dry inside."


"Also pitched it on bare rock using rocks to hold the stakes on a decently breezy night and it was pretty bombproof."


"The osmo material is amazing in the rain and stays taught ... I’ve camped in 40mph wind and lashing rain in Dartmoor and it didn’t miss a beat, no leaks and I felt secure all night."

"it has a huge vestibule that you can comfortably stand in or hang out in if it's raining."


"A '6-person' is ideal for a family of 4 to actually have space. ... Don't underestimate the value of good headroom and a big vestibule for shoes/gear, especially with kids."


"enough room in the inner tent for me, some stuff and the dog."

"at 183cm with some extra space for the bag with 450g of down to get the loft that tent was not enough. My head was barely touching the mesh doors of the inner, while my feet were already pushing the inner against the fly (with the tent properly tensioned!) Woke up with wet bag and cold as hell feet. Didn't bother to use it again."


"Tigerwall tents will not work. ... I tried them and at 6'2" they were both too small."


"It will not fit 2 people even cuddling."

"Unfortunately, we HATE the door design, so much that it's needed to be returned. ... In a heavy or blowing rain it is very easy for water to enter here, even when you have the zipper guards velcro'd on the outside. ... So much water came in during one thunderstorm it saturated one of my beach towels and then some, and the leaking here was a recurring issue driving us to decide we needed to return it."


"1 of them lasted under 2 years with CONSTANT HEAVY USE, until the rain fly started leaking a lot and the zippers broke."

"The pole design means they are under twist pressure, and after I'd replaced the third set of poles I decided to go inflatable. ... and the poles kept breaking."


"A week in, a pole broke in the wind"


"the poles bent irreparably in mild/moderate wind conditions ... It lasted less than a year"

Big Agnes, MSR, and Nemo are 3 of the best tent brands available. I ran the warranty desk for an outdoor gear company, and saw the least amount of warranty issues with those brands. They’re not inexpensive, but, you get what you pay for. I have a Big Agnes tent that’s at least 10 years old, we use it regularly and only have to hose the dirt off. It’s amazing. Nemo is awesome too, I know a lot of people with Nemo tents and they love them. I just got an MSR 3 person tent and absolutely love it. Definitely get a 2 person tent. The general rule is to take however many people will be sleeping in the tent, and add 1. So 1 person = 2 person tent, 2 ppl = 3 person tent and so on. A 2 person tent is more comfortable for having your gear inside the tent, changing your clothes, etc. If you don’t plan to go backpacking with it, I’d get a 3-4 person tent just for the space.

After dealing with a warranty issue with Durston I would rather deal with Big Agnes

Big Agnes warranty and customer service help is top-notch. I sent them an email earlier this week and they responded within minutes with a fix that allowed me not to send the tent in and repair it myself.

Tough to choose light AND strong. Since the strength comes from the tent poles and lighter tends use less tent poles. I would say the strength would also come from how and where you pitch the tent. Pitching it slightly protected or if the wind will help a ton. Also pitching the vestibule into the wind will help with the aerodynamics. Don't just pitch the tent any which way. Think about how the wind will hit the tent. Check out Big Agnes... I've been in some blizzards with them... held the weight of the snow and kept Standing after heavy winds

Try the REI re/supply. I got a Big Agnes tent that retails for $499 for $134. Also, REI sale is coming up in a few weeks and there will probably be a good deal on their own brand tents and others.

My 70lb Mal won't sleep in a tent, she stays awake all night "on watch," and is very restless, on the other hand my 65 lb GSD sleeps like a baby all night long. I have a Big Agnes Wyoming Trail 2 tent that I use for car camping, it's got a huge "front porch" area that's good for shade and sitting out rainy days. There's enough room in the inner tent for me, some stuff and the dog.

https://geartrade.ca/ they stock a bit of budget gear and they are not amazon. Also try thelasthunt.com, and https://www.sportchek.ca/en.html they can have some good gear in clearance. I really enjoy my big agnes tent and they are available in long, but they are pricy when not on sale.

Paria is a glorified dropshipping company. Durston and Big Agnes are good options, you don't need anything more niche honestly
