There are better tents for the same money, March 21, 2008 I bought this tent about three years ago because I wanted a lttle more room than the Kelty tent I already owned and I liked the footprint. I've used it about 6 or 7 times. No way it can fit 4 people, but it's more than enough for 1 person & a dog.
Last week I camped in the desert with high wind gusts and rain. The pole that supports the "extra room" bent and eventually broke from the sustained wind gusts. I wasn't too worried as it's easy to get a new tent pole. I was able to support the frame by attaching it to another structure, but additional wind gusts eventually caused the pole to rip through the sleeve. Then the rain came. It didn't rain that hard, but it did rain continuously. Rain somehow came in the doorway and seeped through the floor of the tent (even with a gound cover in place). I did manage to keep myself and my gear dry - no leaks in the seams or windows, but I expected better. I never had problems with the zippers, but the front door construction is strange. Impossible to open or close with one hand. Anyway, the tent is now in the trash and I already purchased a new Coleman tent (a brand that I trust for camping gear). I don't know who Eddie Bauer is licensing their brand to for tents, but it does not have the quality I expect from the Eddie Bauer name.
