Review: Really dark, great head hight (6 person) - Purchased in the fall of 2025 and we've had it out a handful of times now. I really like this tent and if the main things that matter to you are the blackout fly and the head hight, stop looking around and get this one. The blackout fly makes the inside of the tent really, really dark. I sleep really well in this tent. I'm 6'2" and I don't have to scrunch down to change clothes. I knocked off a star because, like others have said, it's clear that these materials aren't going to last forever. I'm sure it would be an absolute oven in the summer, but I mostly camp in the shoulder seasons. The bag is a joke. But you're not taking this thing backpacking. This is for weekends with the college buddies and car camping with the scouts. For 2-3 people who like to sleep in a little bit, this may be the perfect tent.
Review: Spacious - We got to use our tent and it is very spacious, and fairly easy to set up. Trying to set up the space for shoes was a bit difficult but we figured it out!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really dark, great head hight (6 person)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spacious
*by S***N on January 4, 2025*

### ⭐⭐ Not on par with usual SD quality.
*by J***R on June 29, 2025*

One of the rainfly buckles was defective out of the box. While taking the tent down a pole grommet ripped out of the tie down strap. One use and done. Not the SD quality I'm used to.
