Flex-Bow 9x8 Deluxe

Check out Kodiak Canvas. I have the 8x9 Flex-Bow and it's the best tent I've ever owned. It never leaks and has withstood some really nasty storms. [https://kodiakcanvas.com/](https://kodiakcanvas.com/)

Yea people that find out about them usually end up snagging them quick, but Kodiak does a decent job at updating stock. I did a few months of research when I upgraded a few years ago, and I read a bunch of stories of guys on hunting expeditions in violent winds, and the Kodiaks were the only tents left standing in camp lol so I imagine they're highly sought after. I even read a couple stories of people having tree limbs fall on their tent and it kept them safe.

My Flex bow has been through some pretty good storms

Love my Kodiak flexbow. Over $400 though.

Car camping or is someone going to have to pack it. For an absolutely comfortable and durable experience, I cannot recommend the Kodiak flexion (canvas) enough. Absolutely fantastic tent. Literally the only issue is weight. It is quite heavy. For cub scouts it's perfect, and it will last decades. Also, you can comfortably fit like 8 kids in one if the other kids are unprepared.

This data seems a bit skewed how is Slingfin or Hilleberg not on this list. It's interesting that the Flex Bow and Springbow made the list though as the only 2 Canvas tents they are by far the easiest of canvas tents to setup. I feel like I have done some decent research on tents before and never heard of Durston.

I have a Kodiak canvas flex-bow tent that I used 4 seasons, its sturdy metal poles held up through a lot of snowfall and it was fine in the summer in the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming mostly .

The Kodiak flex-bow is very simple and quick to set up but it’s big and heavy. Also, it’s not self-standing so you have to get the stakes into the ground for it to work.

Love my Kodiak Flex Bow canvas tent.

I don't have much in terms of comparing the wall tents, but I do have a Kodiak Flex-Bow tent. In the pictures it looks plastic, but they are canvas tents which come with an additional weather coating on them. Definitely not a plastic tent. It's been in heavy rain and winds with no issues.

Can't answer your question on the quick tents. I have a Kodiak flex-bow. If you choose one, get a drill with drill tent stakes. My daughter and I can setup the tent itself in 5 minutes.
