"They have large windows on each side and in the back. Also a door and window in the front. They are made of canvas and breathe - so they're not like a sauna inside during the summer - even during the day. Sometimes its even a little cooler inside due to the shade. I've taken a nap in ours in the afternoon."
"We got that so we can extend our camping into all seasons (they are fantastic with a wood stove when it's cold out)."
"don't get like a sauna in the middle of the day"

"My Kodiak tent feels like something I could live in long term for a year, winter through summer. ... I camped in it last year during a night where it rained 20mm with 70km/h wind and I woke up bone dry, and the awning even stayed up."
"After 10 years of music festivals and Outerbanks week long fishing trips, there is not much wear on the ol' Kodiak."
"the kodiaks were hassle free and a lot of people just lagged the 4 corners. those mf'ers are the real deal."

"sleeps 4 VERY comfortably and you can stand up and get dressed"
"being able to stand up fully in your tent is a game changer too."

"I like my Kodiak but the brightness is an issue ... It's a real killer for trying to plan super late/sunrise adventures when you can't get back and rest well at dawn."

"I love my 100-lb Kodiak but boy do I hate moving it 😂"
"It's definitely a car camping tent unless you love toting heavy packs."
"They're heavy"
My wife and I went with a kodiak canvas tent, but we also use it in all seasons. It was nice because the higher walls made setting up the pack and play a breeze. Plus there were plenty of ways to rig up a portable sound machine and fan too. We got that so we can extend our camping into all seasons (they are fantastic with a wood stove when it's cold out). They take a little more time to set up, but they are worth it. I got a spare canvas to throw under the tent floor as a ground sheet - that just helps add another layer between the tent and the dirt and debris. I also got rolls of cheap carpet from lowes/home depot for the inside of the tent, it just made it a little more comfortable and helps after you tear down. You can shake out the rugs and roll on. They are more pricey than the ones you mentioned, but also a lot more durable. Even with site prep she and I were able to get it set up in under an hour. If interested I can drop some links to the tent and some of the other acoutremant we included.
https://kodiakcanvas.com/collections/cabin-tents/products/12x12-cabin-lodge-tent-sr-stove-ready We went with this one. And no we didn't have issues with there not being dividers! We didn't use them but we did have provisions to make dividers if needed. There's a way to string a line inside the tent and you could section off a portion with something like a sheet/tarp/blackout curtain and some shower curtain clips. We liked this because we can get the awning down the line if we feel we need more room for gear storage, a sheltered kitchen area, a changing area or whatever you need. We also got a portable privacy shelter to use as a restroom and a collapsible toilet that holds wag bags. Not the most glamorous solution but it works lol
My buddy recently turned me on to Kodiak. It's my wife, our huge dog, and I. I bought the 12x12 cabin with the wood stove. Plenty of room and amazing in the cold weather. We cooked 95% of our meals on the stove while it was low 30s and raining for a week of camping in the high desert of Oregon. We stayed perfectly warm and dry. I can't speak highly enough about Kodiak!

Also love our Kodiak wall tent. Amazing for setting up for several days somewhere. Such a tank.
I'll never not own an instant tent for normal camping. I have my kodiak for desert camping but go instant if youre going on a normal forest trip lol
I use a Kodiak. Use my ATV to haul it in, pretty bulky but bombproof.
dude I ordered last week when it became very obvious what was going to happen, I might have the last kodiak tent out of saigon lmfao
My Kodiak tent feels like something I could live in long term for a year, winter through summer. I camped in it last year during a night where it rained 20mm with 70km/h wind and I woke up bone dry, and the awning even stayed up. I also have a small backpacking tent for when I'm camping somewhere I can't access with a vehicle.
Agree with canvas bell, but that they can and should spring for a better, more reputable, and waranteed brand. Never seen Vevor sold outside of Amazon, fwiw, but I happened upon one at a festival and didn't like the look of that "Oxford cloth". Probably user error, but it looked very slack in places and thin - flapping in the wind exactly the way a canvas tent shouldn't. White Duck, Kodiak, and Psyclone(Australian) are all great options in that price range for a 2-man, plus there'll be options for window count and removable floor. Psyclone has a roof pole that eliminates the need for the guyline at the door, blessedly - and these are all likely on Amazon as well, for free Prime shipping, obvs
I like my Kodiak but the brightness is an issue; is there any way to effectively control the light level? It's a real killer for trying to plan super late/sunrise adventures when you can't get back and rest well at dawn. (Inb4 eye mask)
