“Northwest Territory Dome Tent is great”

This is a really good tent. I have had it for a while. It is not very expensive. It is very lightweigt. It is very easy to carry along with you. It is small enough to pack anywhere. The set up is simple enough that anyone even a child could do it. Also packing it back away is simple to do. It is very...

“The tent did not withstand the setup!”

This tent looks nice and is a good size for 1 or 2 people, but that is where it ends.  The very first time we put it up one of the poles was broken.  It was right at the top so the tent couldn't be used.  Fortunately someone brought an extra tent that we were able to use.  When we went to put it...

“Quick and easy setup, roomy for two and gear, and light”

Took it camping to Baraboo outside of Devil's Lake over the 4th of July Weekend with the girlfriend and we, of course, showed up late on Friday. Setup was under 10 minutes and the tent was smaller and lighter than our two foam sleeping mats!

We experienced everything that weekend - wind, 90 degree heat, 50 degree nights, humidity, and rain. Tent held up great though a little soggy - NOT wet. I'll be spraying it so that it sheds water a bit better and though the seams on the rainfly are taped, none of the others are. Seams at bottom held up, but I don't trust them completely. I'll set it up in the...

“Northwest Tent, Small but durable.”

Good tent. Decent Price. It is good for two adults with a queen mattress but not too much room other than the bed. It is overall a good tent. But there wasn't the room I wanted in it, depends on what the customer wants...

“Good dry weather unit”

The tent went up easily and proved to be very nice overall. The inside features for storing valuables off the floor was a nice touch and very important. When it rains, the fly is just not adequate. The bottom of the tent got wet and leaked in. We purchased a separate tarp and strung it overtop the tent to solve the water problem. It packs up nice and tight and is very manageable. In hot weather, it could also use an extra window opposite the door for better cross ventilation. We camped in 3 different National Parks over a 14 day period and found it to be a good buy for the money.

“great tent”

We used these tents for mission trips in Nicaragua. They are a good size for 1 person and all their stuff. We used them indoors, but then we didn't have to worry about what creepy crawlies also wanted to sleep with us. Good ventilation screen in top and door. Loved the little mat outside for leaving dirty shoes. The tent was very easy to set up, and to get back into the carrying case.

“Pretty Good for the price”

This is a very good tent for the price. I am a Boy Scout and this is one of the best tents I have ever used. It is very easy to set up, has a mud flap, and is very waterproof. It takes me 5-10 minutes to set up by myself, and is easy to take down. I used it through a rainy weekend, and I was dry both nights I was out camping. The only problem is that if you do not have a rain tarp underneath the tent, you will have puddles on the interior.

“Leaks a lot !!”

“Dog Camping”

I bought this tent to go on a weekend camping trip with my dogs. I purchased this one since it seemed simple to set up. It was! The only thing is was missing the top protector (so I attached my tarp). It rained (hard) and I was the only one in the group with no leaks! Everyone else with the larger, fancier tents leaked! I will continue to use this tent for camping and bicycle touring, it is roomy, easy to set up and plenty of storage space!

“Great Deal!”

For the price, you can't beat this tent! It is easy to set up, roomy enough for 2 adults, and easily folds into a small bag with handles. We especially enjoyed the "mat" outside of the door of the tent - great place for shoes and keeping dirt out of the tent. The cubbies on each side were convenient too! It is by no means an "extreme" tent, and I wouldn't recommend for use in rain, or extreme temps. But it's perfect for casual family-type easy camping.

“Great Deal”

I am very glad that I purchased this tent. It was very easy for my son and I to put up and take down less then ten Minutes. It is roomy and has pockets so you can store smaller things.

“Great Buy”

Very impressed with this tent. Left it up for 4 days during a 3 day rain, and found only minimal amount of water had entered in it.

“good buy for the price”

This tent is a grat buy for the money. I bought it off season though so it was a little cheaper. Inside it is quite large and can easily sleep two people (three if they arent messy). I said two because you bring camping stuff with you so for me it counts for one person.

“Good design ... poor quality”

Looking for smaller tent for son's scout outing. First outing, ease of setup and design advantages were overshadowed by most seams leaking when rained, especially where mesh pocket was sewn into horizontal seam that skirts tents
