Escort Dome Tent, 5-Person

Great tent for its price. Would sleep 2-3 very comfortably. 5 would work without any gear. Recommended if you like camping a few times a year.

We bought this tent for our emergency preparedness kit because how light it is and it's tub floor. We are a family of five and we figure in an emergency we'd be able to all fit. In a bad storm our old tent leaked and ripped so we decided to let our kids use this one till we bought a remplacement. During our last camping, the day after we set up there was a severe thunderstorn so my littlest one came inside our camper but we left the tent set up. During our trip of 9 days, it rained 7 days. Many times there were heavy rains. We were surprised at how dry everything was. It was drier than my pop up trailer!!!! The only wet spot was caused by my son's cot touch a side which any camper knows is a no-no. Set up is a breeze. My husband does it with my daughter. This is my first Escot tent and I would purchase this tent again!

I bought this tent in a bind after my previous tent decided to leak like a sieve. The first time we used it was in a terrible storm off the water in Cape Breton. It kept us dry but the poles buckled backwards during the night, the side walls were stretched and the threads were coming apart where the peg loops attached to the bottom. I've used it a few times since in fair weather with no issues. Its roomy enough inside for a couple adults with gear, but that's about it. Overall the quality seems to be on par for price.

I bought this tent for my weekend/week long trips to Algonquin. a little thin but hold up great in rough weather. Very spacious and i can almost stand up inside! also a cinch to assemble and take down/pack up! would definitely recommend to a novice or experienced camper! enjoy!

I didn't expect much from this tent but was pleasantly surprised. As others have commented, the door design - with having to undo the zipper from the bottom - was simply dumb and the fly does not fully cover the door. We got caught in one of the worst thunderstorms I have ever tented in and the tent held up fabulously, with the exception of the bottom part of the door - the rain seeped through the zipper and we had a small puddle at the door. But we were otherwise dry. This is not a five man tent - two adults and two kids at best. At the same time, the tent is high enough for most folks to stand up in and, in spite of the design flaw, the door itself is large enough to get a queen sized air mattress through when you are stupid (or drunk) enough to blow it up outside the tent! This is the best value tent by far, but if you're a serious camper I'd spend the extra money on a higher-end tent. If you're a once or twice a summer camper this tent is a great buy. Just bring a tarp to cover the door in the event of a good rainstorm and you'll be fine. A solid three stars.
