Topnaca 2 3 Person Backpacking Tent for Camping, 3 Season Waterproof Lightweight Two Doors Double Layer with Aluminum Rods for Hiking Beach Outdoor Family Hunting Adventure Travel

 The quality of the tent is there but there are a few things that could be improved. Tonight, it's 78 degrees and 85% humidity and I spent ten minutes inside the tent with the rainfly on, both side vents open, and the front and back wide open. Within 10 minutes is was like a sauna and I had to bail. It's dead calm tonight without a breeze and the tent didn't breath at all, even with the doors open. I think another anchor strap in the middle of both sides would be helpful, that way you could pull the fly out further and allow some more air to get in. I could have made a button to accomplish this but didn't feel like it, so I'm just saying that anchor straps would be nice. A few hours later the temp dropped to 76 so I went back in and stayed for an hour or so, comfortably, lying on top of my sleeping bag. If it rains and I have to close the fly up, it's probably going to suck. A fan would be a good idea if you're using this tent in the south.The dimensions listed are not accurate, or they may be if you lay the tape measure on the floor and don't account for the sides sloping inward. I'm 6 feet tall and my head and feet were touching the sides when I laid on my back. I turned my sleeping pad corner to corner and didn't touch but that didn't leave any room for my 40 lb dog and my gear, so the gear went outside. This also created a problem with my sleeping pad not laying completely flat. This is the 3 man tent and honestly, if you're 6 feet tall you aren't going to get 2 people in it unless you're a fetal position side sleeper and the second person is smaller and likes to cuddle and you leave all of your gear outside. I also question the depth of the tent at 65". My sleeping pad is 30" wide and it took up more than half of the floor. Pull it away from the back wall so you aren't touching it and there's not much room left for a second person. I am a side sleeper so I'll give it one more night to see if I can deal with it or return it. After my first night checking it out, I'm back inside the house typing this review instead of sleeping soundly in the tent so take that for what it's worth. I am really disappointed because I was counting on this tent being a usable 82" long.UPDATE: Originally I rated this for two stars because of the dimensions being smaller than the graphics show but I'm going to revise this after playing with it for 3 days. It's still small, nothing is going to change that but being a side sleeper it really isn't effecting how I use the tent. I did not buy this for two people to use, I got it for my dog and I.The mesh is small enough that it kept all the gnats and tiny green flies out. I've had tents in the past that let those little boogers in so this was a major improvement.The tent's quality is really good. I went through a 4.5 hour thunderstorm that dumped 2.5 inches of rain and had wind gusts up to 35 MPH and this tent stayed 100% dry from the factory. I did not spray any sealant on the fly. It didn't breath very well until I made the modification below.There was some condensation build-up the first morning (85% and temps reaching the dew point) but after making a set of buttons from cotton balls, I added a guyline to each side at the bottom, center, using a taut line hitch, and pulled the fly away from the inner tent about 6 inches and that helped a lot with the air flow. The tent stayed dry because the tub sides are high enough to stop any splashing when it rained. Adding an anchor strap on each side is something I hope the manufacturer considers. It will greatly improve the performance of this tent in warmer, more humid climates. At least this is a workable solution in the field. (see photos)The ribbons/straps sewn into the tent as tie points for the "vestibules" are a pain to use. IMO, they are just a little too short so you spend to much time rolling the fly tight so it fits. I took a 10" piece of paracord and made a loop, then tied that on to the straps leaving about a 3" loop as an extension to the strap. This made strapping the fly back much quicker and easier. (see photos)My daughter really likes this tent. Being smaller, she has no issues with the size, she likes the weight and how easy it is to set up. Her opinion is it's worth 4.5 stars, holding back a half star because she agrees the modifications I made were an improvement. So, taking her input into account along with how well it handled the thunderstorms and how easy a few modifications are to improve the tent, I'm changing my review from 2 stars to 4 stars. If you sleep on your back and you're 6 feet tall or taller, this probably isn't the tent for you.UPDATE 10-26: I've added some photos and video clips. The new photos show Tekton 6268 Tarp Clips to use in place of making a button to hold the sides of the rain fly out and allow much more ventilation through the tent. I've tried a couple of different brands of clips and think these work the best so far. To begin with, I cut a short section of paracord about 3" long and knotted both ends. There is a channel in the jaws of the clip for the paracord to clamp into and if you fold the fly over the cord it will hold much better in the clip. I placed a small piece of Gorilla Tape on the outside center of the fly along it's sides to reinforce the nylon where the clamp will attach. Place the 3" long section of paracord on the underside of the fly and fold the fly under so you aren't creating a water trap, then attach the tarp clip. (The photo shows the paracord on the outside of the fly before it's clamped. I did this so you can see where to position it but the paracord goes on the inside of the fly at that spot.) Once the tarp clip is attached, just stake the short guyline to the ground and you're all set. Repeat on the other side and you've greatly improved the ventilation. As you can see from the low angle photo, the bathtub floor extends high enough up the side that I did not experience any splashing up into the tent from rain. The clips have a simple screw you turn by hand to close and open the jaws. This allows you to remove the clips for storage or winter camping when you don't need them and the knots on the end of the paracord prevents it from sliding out of the clip and becoming lost when they aren't in use.Now, about the inaccuracy of the advertised dimensions. This issue is on every listing I found on Amazon for this tent that is manufactured by Nature Hike and sold under several brands. As the video clip clearly shows, they are exaggerated. It's even worse when you consider the inward slope of the tent sides and the height from the floor your head and feet are actually at. There's just no way anyone 6 feet tall is going to keep their head and feet from touching the ends while laying on their back and you couldn't get two people side by side in this tent unless you're willing to be all up in each other's business, much less 3 people unless they are kids. The body of the tape measure I used in the video is 3" long so add that to the length of the tape to get the actual measurement. The advertised interior dimensions are 82.7" x 64.9" when in reality they are 78" x 60.5" at the floor. Add a sleeping pad and come off the floor a foot, you know, where your head and feet will be, and you can take a good 6 to 8" off of the dimensions shown in my video. In reality, you have a usable footprint of 70" x 52" to avoid touching the sides of the tent.Update 2 years, 7-17-19: It has withstood the test of time. It has been pitched and used continuously since 6-3-19 in northern Maine. It is still dry and nothing has failed. Other than some color fading from the sun, it still looks and performs like new. It has been pitched next to a large farm with direct exposure to sunlight, rain, high winds, dust from the fields and more insect than you can imagine. This has been a great purchase, even if it's a little small.

Was looking for a lighter weight tent for backpacking but as I am still new to the game I didnt want to drop a couple hundred on a tent just yet. Took this to Eagle Rock Loop in Arkansas, 3 night trip and it held up WONDERFULLY. It even stormed one of the nights and when we picked up the tent and the tarp we used as a footprint (also bought on Amazon, link here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018W12LPA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_7 ) there was a dry rectangle on the ground surrounded by wet leaves! All of our gear and ourselves were dry as well. Love the little pop up flaps for ventilation and having the mesh inside. We were able to cook in our tent on cold mornings without worrying about trapping too many fumes. VERY PLEASED!

This is a great reasonably priced backpacking tent. I ordered this because I will be hiking with 2-3 children ages 5-8. With this tent we all fit comfortably and yet it is still fairly lightweight for how big it is. Set up is a breeze and only took me a few minutes by myself. I have not had it in extreme weather yet so I cannot speak to that but so far it seems very durable and strong. The included footprint is pretty heavy weighing in at nearly 18 ounces. That is one thing I am going to look into switching out to try to get the set up a little lighter. Other than that it is a nice tent and has worked well for us the few times we have had it out so far.

My initial thoughts out of the box, having just received the 3-4 man version. It weighs nothing, so happy about that. The seams are double stitched and the material is doubled up for each grommet to give added strength. The interior seams are taped to provide additional weather resistance. Overall, my first impression is positive. This looks and feels like a well made footprint that can double as a tarp shelter. The only thing I would change is to add a few inches in length to the provided stuff sack. When I folded then rolled the tarp up, it was too long to fit into the stuff sack. I had to unroll it and add another 4" wide fold along the length in order to get it back into the stuff sack and close the draw string. The diameter of the stuff sack is fine. I just wish it was a little longer to accommodate real-life usage. The packing and shipping was spot on.UPDATE: Changed my review from 4 stars to 5 stars after using it for 3 days on a camping trip. It was primarily used as a footprint but I did get caught in the rain while hiking to a new campsite and used the tarp for a fast shelter. It didn't leak and held strong in the wind and rain. Great dual purpose tarp that is super light in weight and takes very little room when rolled up.

We will be hiking the AT and needed a small light weight tent that also held up well. We did research for quite some time and had a budget of under $100. We took this bad boy out to camp where it DOWNPOURED with increasing winds for 3/4 days. Not one bit of wet in the tent and zero condensation on the inside of the tent as well. It did get a little sauna hot type, but it's still high humidity in the evening and was expected. There is a nice random breeze that swoops in under the rain fly and because 90% of the tent is mesh it ventilated it well. The only thing that was sort of damn was the bottom under the footprint due to condensation, but that was it and it was minor. Definitely recommend this tent to have confidence in knowing you will be dry and it holds up to winds well as well. Satisfied customer.
