"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 had one for about 7 years now and it has inspired several of our friends to get one."
"We've had our Gazelle for 6 years now and used it in a severe thunderstorm just this April. Not a single leak."

"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."
"No, the gazelle is absolutely worth whatever imagined struggle comes with a removable floor. ... I know some older individuals that love this tent for its easy set-up and take down (who say it gives them a chance to tent camp again at their age). ... With the ability to set it up in under 2 minutes (excluding rainfly and stakes)"

"I have been in severe thunderstorms in the Outer Banks of NC and snow storms in Utah in the T4. The tent has always kept us safe, comfortable, and dry."
"It handles inclement weather and strong winds (with the guylines staked down) very well"

"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."
"The biggest problem with it is that it’s huge when it’s broken down you basically need to put it on your roof rack."

"the door is a trip hazard"
"But for a tent that caters to taller folks, the door sucks for taller folks... at 6'1" i'm always tripping getting in and out of it."
"My biggest gripe is definitely the door. ... I’m constantly making sure I’m lifting up my feet so I don’t trip."

"I had a Coleman instant tent for 13 years with no leaks. One trip to the same campground with the T4, leak, and bugs. It made me sad. ... Yep, it leaked for me the first time I used it. Colorado mtn storms can be crazy, but short."
"also, it does not hold up well in down pours, water seeps in through the seems"
"First, in super heavy downpour (more than an inch per hour) it would soak through around the hubs and also where the mesh bags are sewn into the sides. ... The first time there was a dribble of water from the hub seams I had to sop up with an extra t-shirt. After seam seaming it was damp to the touch but not dripping."

"You have to make sure to guy out the hubs in strong winds, and the more horizontal the guy line can be the better, or else wind can collapse the hub. I'm taking 15-20mph plus wind. Was in 30-40mph gusts and it held up, but I'd guyed out the hub the direction the wind was coming from with two guy lines, each as horizontal as I could get them, 45 degrees from each other."
"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."
"Also wind is an issue, I'm talking about 20+ mph winds - the hub will collapse in fairly easily if not guyed out. ... When I guy it out well, the tent hub hasn't collapsed in 30+ mph winds."

"Oh, and I ditched the stakes that came with it and instead use heavy, all metal spike stakes."
It's worked for me. I can see the door design being a pain for people. It has kept out light rain and dew. As far as bugs....you're camping. I would just work my way around the perimeter of the tent and make sure that the velcro is seated together.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->Got this tent a as a gift years ago very durable and amazing to set up and tear down. Always catches people's attention how quick you set it up.
r/camping • Gazelle T4 Hub Tent?? ->Your not alone I literally just got mines last week set it up in the backyard and a spider crawled in I spent $700 and they’re telling me to duct tape the seams like why tf would I put duct tape on a brand new $700 tent ????
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->I've had mine for 8 to 10 years now. Probably my best camping investment. It's easy to setup. I like the full walls. It keeps the breeze out but a big gust can fold the wall in.. So plan accordingly. I haven't had a leak yet. I've had it in some nasty high Sierra weather and it held up well. Very sturdy construction. It came in handy on some of our overland trips. My biggest issues are the size and how dirty I get while muscling it back in the bag. It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up. I see them out a lot now. I've used it over a hundred nights at this point.
r/camping • Gazelle T4 Hub Tent?? ->I have not have problems with bugs getting into my Gazelle. Maybe OP needs to leave the food outside the tent.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->Take the floor off to use as an ice fishing tent or have a concrete/dirt floor available for whatever reason.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->The largest gap is where the zippers meet though.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->Finally pulled the trigger on a Gazelle T4 Overland Edition. I love it! So easy to put up. I also upgraded to a cot this year. Finally realized camping isn't a competition sport on who can suffer the most! I still try to camp light but due to age and health, I've had to add some comfort items. Below are a few pics of the many trips I've made this year. I mainly primitive/disperse camp deep in the forest next to creeks in the panhandle of Florida.
r/camping • Camping 2025 new Gazelle ->I like to blend in with the environment. Sometimes I stealth camp and really don't want to be seen. I know the darker color may get hotter in the summer but I don't camp in the summer! LOL 😆 Gazelle was out of the Alpine Green for almost a year. I waited till they came back in stock. I had a nice REI tent so I wasn't in hurry but I did want a Gazelle ASAP.
r/camping • Camping 2025 new Gazelle ->Have you looked into the Gazelle tents? I have a T4 and love it. It's a bit on the heavy side but if you're overlanding it will fit the bill nicely.

r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->I have the orange and LOVE it. Such a great tent. So cozy. So easy. ⛺️ https://preview.redd.it/uddc64wmhl3f1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e4cc2ead3939efd8b75aa133891f94928f3b636b
r/camping • Camping 2025 new Gazelle ->I think it works really well for my needs. I’m always impressed with how big it is and how absolutely easy it is to pack and unpack. It has stood up to snow, frost and rain and especially wind. Single wall tents are not perhaps the absolute best choice for downpour conditions but using a well fitted ground cloth should help. I appreciate how durable the material is especially the floor. I would never undo the floor due to other reviewers but why would you do that anyway? Yes, the little step thru door takes getting used to, but it maximizes the amount of pockets that you can have as well as minimizing the amount of zipper malfunctions on a large walk-through door. Not suggesting fraud, but REI sells some of those tents if you got it as a “gift”.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->I don’t understand how a bug could get through that Velcro if it’s completely sealed. It’s really heavy duty. OP did it to clean the tent I think but I always use a dustpan and shake it out after. I didn’t think of running a cord thru as another poster said but that would be such a small opening. It would be nice to have a vestibule add on, if you have any tips on that I’m all ears.
r/camping • Buyer Beware Gazelle T4 Overland Edition Tent ->I camp in the PNW, no leaks so far and it’s been over 2 years.
r/camping • Gazelle t4 overland ->I love mine, just me and my two cats 🐈⬛! It’s perfect! Put a queen Exped in there and still have enough room to hang out in, plus I can stand up completely!!
r/camping • Gazelle t4 overland ->I love my Gazelle T4! 40F, solo camping, easy to set up and take down.
r/camping • Easy to setup tents ->I love mine they are legit as all hell, only issue is weight and the size when packed, it’s like 6’ and weighs like 35lbs (T4 overland edition from 2020)
