About Preself 4 Persons 5lb Lightweight Tipi Hot Tents
Overall Feedback:
82% positive
73% liked the weight and portability
I love how lightweight and easily foldable the tent is, indicating its easy portability.
78% found it weather-resistant, although, 22% experienced issues
The tent has good weather resistance as it withstood a snow squall with up to 60 mph wind gusts and horizontal snow.
I went camping and the tent leaked in the rain, but it wasn't too bad. I went to Ace and got some waterproofing for tents and problem solved.
69% were satisfied with the ventilation, while 31% felt it could be improved
The tent vents humidity reasonably well, but there is noticeable condensation on the walls in the morning, especially when running the Buddy portable propane heater. This may concern those looking for a well-ventilated tent.
79% liked the ease of setup
Setting up the tent was reasonably easy, but the included stakes are one-time use only and tend to bend.
78% appreciated the material quality, however 22% found it less durable
The zippers are a bit fragile and the tent feels better when staked so the walls have a bit of slack in them.
I did not give 5 stars because the tent pegs are of poor quality.
I noticed that the guy line attachment loops are sewn vertically to the main seams of the tent panels. The top corner of the attachment loop has to take the full load of a wind gust and in my case, the loop ripped, right out from under the main seam. It should have been a webbing strip folded in half and then sewn, alongside the main seam to create a horizontal attachment point, where both seam and the full length of the seam can take the load. This review expresses my negative feedback with respect to feature: Material Quality.
