Any reviews?

Looks like it's made for smaller folks/kids
May 9, 2012 at 11:41 am #1875883I'm amazed what they can make for $25.

No kidding!
What is even more amazing is that includes profit for every one involved in the chain as well as shipping from China!
If anyone gets one, take a close look and see if you can find a tag that says: "Another fine product of Gulag #6" :)
I wonder why California requires them to tell you that it will turn you into a mutant (prop 65 warning), but not tell you where its made?
On a more serious note, I know a couple of people that hike with Dogs that might be able to use an inexpensive disposable shelter for short trips. I have a friend whose dog destroyed the floor of a $300 tent, and it didn't even rain on that trip.
May 9, 2012 at 8:07 pm #1876084Wow, another Clip Flashlight variation. Personally I wouldn't buy a tent that cheap, unless it really is for one time use. Better for two people to split the weight of something like a ALPS Mountaineering Zephyr/Zenith 2 or 3 which can be found for under $100 and is of pretty good quality.
May 10, 2012 at 7:40 am #1876203You all mock but seem to have missed reading the Specification tab, notably these ones:
Peak Height (ft.): 36
Product Length (ft.): 82Note: "ft"
Maybe I'm easily impressed but a 36 foot high by 82 foot long tent for $25 is a spectacular feat of engineering prowess and manufacturing efficiency.

Thanks for reading the fine print. It is more amazing than I thought.
They should go into the circus tent business.

May 22, 2012 at 7:05 pm #1880260Sure. But how wide is it?
May 22, 2012 at 8:11 pm #188027448" and 2 lbs.
For $24.99, wow is right.
The one review on the site said the user had a lot of condensation at the foot of the tent. User error?
