Always have had good experience with MSR products.

It provided great shade under the scorching sun and held up surprisingly well during strong winds. It didn’t fly away at all — the key is to use sandbags for extra stability

I recommend this product to anyone who enjoys going camping. I did return it as I was looking for a tent cot that was easier to assemble. I do have a tent cot made by the same manufacturer which does not require me to attach a tent to the cot. It is larger when folded up then this one. However, it lies flatter when packing it in my vehicle. This one takes up a lot less room but is thicker and heavier. Also when you try to use the handle to pull it on the wheels of the bag, it tends to be wobbly. Otherwise, it is a very sturdy cot and tint. Just did not work for me because it required me to assemble it too much. I did not try the inflatable pad that came with it but it seemed to be a very thick pad which will help when sleeping on it not to notice the metal bar that goes down the middle of the cot. I have tendonitis and it was difficult for me to put together because I did not have the strength to put the ends on the cot. Also did not care much for having to assemble a tent to put on top of it. My other one works great. It is a older model but I think I will continue to use it. I was looking for a smaller one something a little lighter but this just wasn't it. The seller was understanding of why it did not work for me and effortlessly refunded my money.

I might have written a bad review in the past; this will be one of them. This tent will require a minimum of two people to set up under the lightest of breezes due to its instability. With all four vertical poles, and six stakes installed it will collapse. The instructions is not very concise, and the diagram is on a different page. I was finally able to get the tent stood up after two hours of struggle once all four guy lines were staked down. The stakes are thin aluminum that will rotate its way off the tiedown points and at the guy lines. They will bend with minimal effort. I resorted to 8-inch Coleman nail spikes to secure the tent and guy lines. I had to deviate from the instruction and attach the guy line to the tent instead of to the rain fly, as the task of stabilizing the tent would have been more difficult. The ropes supplied are too slippery for attaching to the tent as it easily loosens and will need to be replaced, just like like the stakes. The upper corner fabric loops' stitching are weak, and daylight is very visible at the stitch sites. This still would not be an OK tent if it was set up inside a building as it will still need to be staked to avoid a collapse if the tent was bumped. I did not wish to write a bad review, but this product is well deserving of one.

This was perfect fit and protection for my 3 person Acropolis tent. Used it in Zion NP campground which is gravel.

We’ve taken this tent out a few times now and are definite fans of it. Given the price, I am very impressed by its size, quality, and ease of setup. It does a great job of blocking light (although the bottom six inches or so are very good at letting sunlight stream in). I’m 6’2” and, when sleeping perpendicular to the door, do not touch the edges. Had some unfortunate rain one time and stayed dry inside as expected.
