"sets up insanely fast. ... And realistically I'll have it up and fully staked out with guy lines in about 5 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."
"setup/breakdown is a 10/10"

"I've only camped in it in a rain twice. One was a friendly little shower, the other was a flash flood. In both instances, rain never infiltrated the tent."
"The ground tarp is amazing. ... Winter camping would have been terrible without that. ... When I had a constant run of meltwater under the tent, it was still good inside with that tarp under me."
"Been in some nasty weather and is excellent. ... never leaks"

"The overland edition has fantastic stakes. ... They’re tough and I could even hammer them into some solid Ontario ice. ... Not too far, but they took the punishment."
"it's going to last us 20 years!"

"super stable when staked out. ... Was camping once and crazy winds kicked up. Friend in RTT had to close it and other friends smaller tent was blowing flat over. We played cards all afternoon in the Gazelle, no problem."
"I’ve been winter camping with wind and snow. Experienced a rainstorm so severe that I could hear nothing but the rain. ... it’s been great in everything else."
"My T4 is honestly the quietest tent I've ever used in wind."

"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."
"folded up. It ’s so long that you pretty much need to put it on the roof of your vehicle on your crossbars."

"Also one time we got maybe 2 or 3 inches of rain in a downpour and some water leaked in through the hubs. I've since put seam seal on the stitching over the hubs after that to hopefully help."
"the fly is not long enough to cover the hub. ... One time we got over 2 inches of rain in two hours. The T4 fly dumped all that rain right on top of the hub and it started to soak through pretty bad. Had drips inside with not a ton of water but maybe half an ounce to an ounce of water below each hub. Used some t-shirts to sop it up/catch it so it wouldn't get sleeping bags wet."
"The only issue with Gazelle is in severe downpour (around 2.5 inches in an hour) the stitching around the hub. ... The roof fly dumps water off right onto that hub."

"If not guyed out, wind will collapse the side of a gazelle tent pretty easily."
"In winds, you'll want to stake down the sides or they'll blow in (this is from the experience)."
"Another concern is high winds. I have used it in steady winds up to 25 mph with higher gusts, but I had to tie out the hubs with guy lines, using two lines per hub to give better holding power, and also I swapped out the stakes to more heavy duty all metal spikes which I bring a hammer to hammer into the ground."

"The stakes do suck"
