I have a better friend who has had one of these Promontory tents for concerning 7 years and swears by it. When I decided to purchase a fresh tent this year he convinced me this was the better tent I could obtain. But when I checked out many earlier communicates I was curious about the poles breaking too readily. So I called the associates and asked them what was up. The guy I spoke to was very honest and explained that in 2010 they produced a batch of this tent that had many defects in the poles, and that it had caused some troubles along poles failing but that they had substituted the pole sets for customers who had the issue. He said they have since made an additional one run of these tents in 2011 and have corrected the trouble accompanying a improved pole set. He seemed extremely sincere regarding this. So I bought it online, and we have used it twice already this summer. We have had no troubles at every, and on one travel we had severe thunderstorms it was very windy but our tent held up awesome and we were bone dehydrate the estimate ti…

Just spent 3 nights in our inexperienced tent. Overall, a disappointment. It appears that this tent was createed for the Southwest desert. Dry, warm, not manyer bugs than the southeast. A scant beholds…PROS
1. goes up readily & large gear loft.CONS
2. Too much ventilation. Massive screen ceiling can not be finished or covered,…making it impossible to look after the temperature in the tent in the winter. Tent manufacturers call this “ventilation” but is certainly just poor create. We spent 3 nights in November in ALABAMA in 30-degree sleeping bags and were cold. This is NOT a winter tent. 3. Poor door plots. The solid door panels zip only on the sides,…not over the lowest. To fully quit the door, you must desist 2 panels independently…the screen and the solid door. This is a hassle in the winter when there are not many bugs…why originate me zip a screen separately? The door should use typical plot of a enormous screen that zips thoroughly,…with an inset solid panel that can be unzipped in summer…so regardless …

Reviewer note: I have a lot of endure together with tents. I’ve been pushing my luck and secureting lost in wildernesses for over 30 years. Currently own 8 working tents, together with this one. I’ve worn out or killed at least that many over the years, and slept in any more. Bubba knows his tents.Totally agree accompanying scuba’s annotations, along with the fragility of the poles. Third time we (attempted to) put it up was in fairly cold (low 20′s) and windy (gusty, to 35-40 mph) circumstances. One pole snapped at the stop as we were erecting the tent. It took months and any email and phone changes to procure a replacement pole shipped. To be fair, the Paha Que folks were all the time kindly and cooperative while the process — meticulous not by any portion particularly coordinated or exhibiting any experience of urgency. We besides make out the hard way that the rainfly clips are also fragile, at least in cold circumstances. Again, Paha Que was cooperative — offered to fix it for free if we would ship the escape …

I also did a lot of investigate before buying this tent. I was conscious that last years making had some pole publishs, but after checking I found that this problem had been addressed by the builder. We have camped for a wide of 13 nights in it so far this year, and straight through wind and rain we have been very impressed along how well this tent looks to deal with the bad weather. I besides really like how simple it is to set up, and also the oversize cary bag that makes it effortless to fit everything back in. I have owned a lot of separate tents over the years and this one appears to be the best by far in terms of materials and overall capability, than any of the someone elses. So far we are quite pleased and confer it a thumbs up.

I spent a long time reading characterizes and making a decision concerning which tent to buy. My family is endured campers and we already have a dependable former tent that we like, but the kids are getting bigger, so I wanted a largeger tent — a high-quality tent that would last us for years. After lots of reading, I chose the Paha Que Promontory because it had better recaps and because the story with regard to the three guys who had a lot of camping undergo and decided to plan a good tent made me think that this would be an especially dependable and well-designed tent.

The tent arrived today. I am sorry to contend I am sending it back.

The introductory idea I noticed regarding it was that the bag is Really Heavy. I’m used to carrying nearby small children, so I can handle heavy thoughts, but this was *heavy*. But I shape that if you buy a colossal tent, then yes, it’s going to be heavy. And a vast tent is what I wanted. So I fancy heavy is okay.

I was pleased that my nine-year-old daughter and I were able to s…
