Outbound Backpack Tent, 3-Person

I have used this tent for the last ten + years from early spring Canoe trips, through summer and fall. It more than spacious enough for 3 as we have tested a few times. I have generally use the tent with 2 and it VERY spacious. I find the mesh body is great in the summer to allow the breezes to pass through with the fly open on both doors. However I do find it can be a bit cool during shoulder season camping. Having 2 doors and 2 vestibules is such a great option. The poles are alum and have held up very well. After 10 years the tent still does not leak,( I did reapply waterproofing to the fly a few years ago as a precaution before a rainy trip) I made up a ground sheet with Tyvek house wrap as the floor is quite thin. Its has great pockets on both ends of the tent body (Maybe a little too deep). Overall weight for a 3 man tent is not bad, but def not ultra light either. My only real compliant is the horrible sleeves that you feed the poles through. It can be a real pain compared to clips. The majority of the sleeve is mesh and we have poked through it in a few spots even with being careful. If Outbound would have designed with pole clips instead of sleeves it would much better. I still feel at that if you can find it on sale it's a great tent for up to 3 people. Sure there are lighter more high tech options out there most with clips instead of sleeves, but they are generally much more $$. It has served my family well and seen many a backwoods campsites through Algonquin, crown land etc.

It fits three people and their gear perfectly. The outdoor, dry storage is great for muddy clothing and boots.

Me and one other person used this tent for a 7 day canoe trip in Algonquin park in Ontario Canada, it was perfect, night easy to set up and great in the rain. The only thing is it is a kind of strange design and a bit confusing at first to set up. It took a few times of me setting it up before hand to remember exactly what worked best to set it up. I wanted to have it down pat because there is sometimes not a lot of space to set up or not a favourable site to put it.

We purchased this tent in 2012 (so we've used it for 3 seasons). The floor is starting to wear down a bit. It's not the tarp-like floor a lot of tents have. Also, as others have pointed out, don't like all the mesh around the poles. Although we're always careful with the poles, I am starting to see the mesh start to pull around the pockets within the tent. I normally put a flashlight in one of these pockets, maybe an item of clothing, not much more. So if you're using it, I'd watch out for the mesh pulling. We made it through a rainstorm with this though and our stuff was completely dry inside. But that was before the floor started to give out, now having my doubts about it.

Tent was good enough for a recent canoe camping trip. Easy to setup.
