## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WANDELEN: A COMPANY THAT CARES
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 17, 2023*

I purchased this Appalachian 2 tent by Wandelen from Amazon as a lighter weight backpacking alternative to my trusty Kelty 2 person tent that Ive had and used countlesss times over the last 25 years. This tent is of similar design to my trusted regular, (and at 3 pounds lighter!), I thought Id take a chance on it. The price was so reasonable compared to others of similar design on the market, despite mixed reviews on amazon, from what I could tell overall, the odds seemed favorable. I was very pleased to receive it within a couple of days and found it well packaged. At my first attempt to erect it in my basement I found the directions simple, and intuitive by design. It set up easily in just a few minutes. I love that it includes its own perfectly sized ground cloth that ties in with the rest of the set up of the tent. It also includes a fantastic powerful little rechargeable lantern that weighs next to nothing. Maybe an ounce? The first weekend setting it up in the field on a short weekend camping trip which was a dry run for a planned upcoming backpacking adventure revealed a problem. After initial setup, when closing the rainfly the zipper split in the middle and the zipper itself came off of the zipper tape. That was a bit of a pain but we were able to improvise and adapt and were lucky that it didnt rain. Despite that set back and my disappointment that upon its first field trial there was a failure we made do and the rest of the tent had no issues at all. NOW BEFORE CONTINUING FURTHER WITH THIS REVIEW I MUST TELL YOU THIS; that after our camping trip I reported the problem with the rainfly zipper directly to Wandelen and within a day received an email saying how sorry they were for the failure and that they wanted to make things right for me as their customer by immediately sending me a replacement. Not just a new rainfly as I had requested, but an entirely NEW TENT!!! I cannot say enough good things about how I well I was treated by this company. The gentleman by the name of Jonathan who I was in contact with was so professional and courteous in multiple email correspondence. In this day and age it is refreshing to find a company with people who truly care abut their customers the way this company and its employees do. He told me they were express shipping me a new unit and it would arrive within two days which it did. Thank you Jonathan and Wandelen for being a company that backs up its product and cares about their customers as if they were family!! Now, back to the review: I was pleasantly surprised all around by the overall performance of the tent from the ample space there was for two people (I'm 5'9" and my wife is 5'8") and our sleeping matts, pillows, and some of our gear to the door zipper operation, the built in vent, and the fact that it has so much screen for star gazing. The tent is very well designed and you can tell it was designed for backpakers by backpackers. The only thing I would change about this tent is the amount of vestibule space available. It was not big enough for both of our backpacks. We could only just get one within it and with barely enough room to get past it if we had to get up in the night. Its really just meant for smaller items such as boots, or shoes. So be sure to pack a rain cover for your pack when using this tent. It would be great if in future iterations of this tent they could make the vestibule a bit longer to the front and with closer coverage to the ground. In any case I will defintely be using the new tent on future backpacking trips and will update when Ive tried out the new rainfly on the new tent! Thank you again Wandelen!! Well done! Customer service done right!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy set up.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States July 13, 2025*

Great little tent! Easy set up. I like that the pole assembly is all one piece. No threading poles over other poles, with the back and forth. Easy 1 person task. Tight space for 2 adults, but it is a backpackers tent. Not a lounger. It fits my kid and I easily, and we've had several trips out. Stiching holds up well, pole elastic is still strong. We have yet to encounter rain, but with how it all feels now, I doubt it would fail us. Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty Good Tent
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 13, 2023*

Pretty decent tent. Got it for kid's backpacking, I didn't want to carry much weight and the other half doesn't like the kids using tarps.I also didn't want to buy a 500 dollar tent.This tent packs down small and is light for a double wall shelter. walls and floor very thin, that's where they're saving weight. I don't think the floor will be in one piece for very long. That's okay, I'll use the included footprint for a fastpack pitch.
