"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"It endured pretty intense weather and rain in alpine landscape without any problem"

"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."

"The screen room is great for extra gear you don’t want to leave out, or to just have a place to relax during a downpour."
"We use one room for sleeping, 2 adults and a kid. The other room for stuff, chairs if it’s bad weather, etc."
"not 4 sided. That way you can setup a table in the middle and still get around, or set up multiple tables on the walls with tons of room."

"It does NOT handle the Florida heat at all. ... Constant shutdowns while driving and parked have rendered it absolutely useless. ... Viofo's solution? Kick it down to 1080 / 2k and hope works. It did not. ... The camera is seriously flawed."
"the xtherm sucks in hot summer."
"When you put the rain cover on top it blocks all of the openings leaving very little air flow. ... When it is hot at night it’s pretty miserable in there. ... The only thing you can unzip is the front door to the porch and if it rains that night congrats you are hot AND wet."

"it does condensate a lot with 2 people if it's closed up. ... If the vestibules aren't open (say due to rain) my quilt gets wet."
"My Kelty 2p is barely big enough for 2 people. My partner and I were pressing up against the edges of the tent, causing the tent to push up against the rain fly and transfer all the condensation inside ☹️."
"My beef with nearly all nylon tents is how they collect condensation. ... I’ve had 5 people and 2 dogs in the Gazelle. All of that breathing made the inside pretty wet."

"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."

"Constantly leaks"
"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"

"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 only gripe is that I will bust my butt on the triangle doors EVERY SINGLE TIME."
Yes they are legit. We have had a T4+ for close to 5 years now.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->I will second Gazelle. To clarify, the T8 has been discontinued, but there is the T4Pus/tandem that gives you a screen room. My wife and I overland with the T4Plus and love it. It's great having the extra room, especially if the weather turns nasty.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->[https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-8-person-tents/products/t-hex-hub-tent-overland-edition-copy](https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-8-person-tents/products/t-hex-hub-tent-overland-edition-copy) Doesn't fit your budget. 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'm only one season and 3 uses in but, so far my T4 has been great. Only real downside is it's bulk. It's long and heavy. But it's a castle of a tent.
r/camping • Are Gazelle Tents worth it? ->Gazelle T4, North Face Wawona or Big Agness Big House. Agree the T4 is a bear to.load and carry. We use our Wawona a ton once we learned how to set it up hahaha
r/camping • Best way to sit up in tent ->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) ->Check out gazelle tents. I have the T3x and the T8. Love both. The T8 is too much for 2 people IMO. I'd take a look at the T4. Not the T4 plus. A bit big, but super easy to put up and take down.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->My partner and I use a Gazelle T4 and I love it. It's not huge, but I wouldn't consider it small either. No porch either. Okay, it's not what you're looking for... I just needed to mention how much I love it for 2 people. A lot of room for gear (I keep a chair in ours) and standing room. Edit: ALSO, it takes like 90 seconds to set up (without staking), 3 minutes with staking, 8-10 minutes if you suspect heavy rain and want to guy out the rainfly (don't need to in light rain). There's a version that is double the length for a screened in porch area, but it's very bulky.
r/camping • Looking for a small tent you can stand up in ->I have a Gazelle T4 Plus. It’s the best tent I’ve ever had.
r/camping • Recommendation for Instant Cabin style tent, 2025 ->I have a Gazelle T4 plus. It’s amazing. A two room pop up tent. They also make other sizes. Sets up in minutes. And you can stand up in it, great for dogs and wives.
r/camping • Any reason not to get a bigger tent. ->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.
