Texsport Knollwood Bivy Shelter Tent
Customer Review: Cheap, but adequate.
As I was only going to be out 6 days, and didn't have the money to spend on a true ultralight backpacker's tent, I thought this would suffice. For the most part, it did, though on night 4 I split a pole. Luckily, with some duck tape I managed to get through the trip, but this tent will be promptly replaced by something higher quality. This tent was fine for a short trip and a "one-time-use" type situation. If you are going to be using this tent a lot, I suggest searching for one of higher quality. That said, for a $30 lightweight tent, it sufficed for my 1 week hike.
Customer Review: Great little backpacking tent
I bought two of these for my 11 and 14 yr old kids. It sets up quick and easy. My 14 year old broke the zipper, but that was not the tent's problem. He is just rough and was forcing it really hard instead of asking for help. My daughter can set it up herself and it is lightweight enough for her to carry.
