"It stood up to a tornado i got hit with on my last backpacking trip in missouri."
"it literally survived a tornado while set up. I just had to stake it back down."
"surprisingly solid tent for hunkering down for a day or two in very wet and stormy Wyoming weather. ... exceed the quality of a lot of Western branded mid range tents in the $500 USD pricing tier based on my experience of seeing colleagues with a couple of very well known and popular mid tiered tents struggling under stronger winds and wetter weather."

"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"I also loved how tall it was, you can probably stand up straight even as a tall person. ... Standing up straight in a tent is a game changer"
"I'm 6'3 and can stand up in it."

"I'd argue their Protrail is one of the best fully enclosed, high-bug-pressure shelters on the market"
"I can tell you I just used a gazelle tent in Ottawa last week for six nights with tons of mosquitoes and biting horse flies and everything and not a single bug in my tent at all."
"i camped in Assateague where the horse flies and mosquitos were abhorrent and this thing saved my entire trip."

"Worse than that, it drains the battery really fast if you are holding position or flying into the wind. ... Even with the + battery, you might get 40 minutes flying with the wind and 11 minutes flying home against the wind meaning you probably won't make it."
"It would shake like crazy at night since the wind could not pass through. ... I ’m talking Dorothy’s house flying away from Kansas type of shaking in the wind."
"let in wind noise which is ruining them for me."

"traveling with it is painful. ... The pack size is huge and heavy."
"the packed size, it's fkn big ... You really need to be sure you can fit it in your car or be prepared to strap it to the top. ... When I had a Jeep, it BARELY fit! Bottom right corner. When I shut the tailgate, it would nudge it and that was having to move the passenger seat up as far as I could and still be able to sit in the seat."
"It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up."

"a pair of Salomon's that I didn't realize were Gore-Tex until it was too late and I abandoned in Leon."
"Too warm ... One big alert for Norda: the ventilation is bad. ... If you run in hot conditions, they will soak your feet within 30-45 minutes, so better beware."
"One thing that stood out as a massive negative was they didn't breathe at all. My feet were very hot."

"mine had a bunch of needle holes that I needed to seal ... Also some loose stitching ... Not very well made for roughly $400 in cost."
"2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt."
"The silver exterior will wear and you'll soon have moisture ingress."

"The silver exterior will wear and you'll soon have moisture ingress."
"I did have an issue with water seeping in during very heavy downpour. I'm taking several inches of rain in an hour downpour. It would soak in through the stitches around the hubs, and also where the interior mesh bags are on the sides."

Easy to setup Quality and durability have never been an issue for me or people I know. I'm sure someone somewhere will be like "they are junk". Condensation control is going to depend on the weather as there is plenty of vents. Might be better off with 2 T4's from Gazelle.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a new tent in 2025 ->I love my Gazelle. From the inside, it has a smiling face. https://preview.redd.it/q1pj3tjxh9de1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76c1a899f46a5a1e9502a4754044d726496ff4b3
r/camping • Looking for a functional, but aesthetically pleasing, tent. ->Tried the Gazelle, liked it until I put it away on the first trip and 2 out of 4 metal sheath ends for the rain fly poles went loose into the dirt. Terrible quality for the price, went back to REI and got the Nemo Aurora.
r/CampingGear • I analyzed Reddit data for the 25 most recommended camping tents (in the past year) ->Gazelle’s are good, but they weigh a freaking ton. Not sure of your reasons for ditching the RTT, but other than the weight, the biggest downside of the hub tents are the massive amount of room they eat up in your vehicle. They don’t park down like regular tents. I find myself running short on space when I use my gazelle.
r/camping • Ditching the RTT for the ground. For the wife and I the cons outweigh the pros. Now in the market for a good Hub tent, any recommendations? I’ve been looking at the Gazelle T4 or Roam Drifter. ->yeah, just go with a Gazelle. if you didn’t care about bulk i’d recommend a Snow Peak but they aren’t necessarily easy to setup.
r/camping • what is the Best camping tent to buy right now with no fake reviews? ->We like the gazelle too. Husband can stand up in it. Quick set up/tear down. Very roomy and seems to be holding up really well.
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->Check out Gazelle, it's bulky but I love it anyway.
r/camping • Looking for a high-quality tent for car camping in Utah ->If you're spending that type of money, look at the gazelle tents.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->I came here to say this. It's big, but it's easy peasy.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->+1 for Gazelle. In addition to being very roomy, the Gazelle is very very fast to set up and tear down. It handles inclement weather and strong winds (with the guylines staked down) very well
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->It's always kind of amused me that Gazelle is known for being heavy. Gazelles, famous for their immense bulk and weight. And yes I know it's called that because it's fast to set up lol. They really are super nice.
r/camping • Do you guys have experience with these? ->We have a Gazelle T-Hex. Just wife and I. We like the single, large room so we can set our queen bed up and have ample room on 3 sides. Even room for the camp chairs inside if bad weather. It measures about 12' across and even more tied down. Never had a spot it didn't fit.
r/camping • is it normal to bring a 12 or 10 person tent for a couple? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
