EXPLORE OUR HISTORY
Great tent. Worth every penny. From the craftsmanship to the sales and service people you talk to. Pitchers don't do it justice, it's better in person.
I have had my eye on this bag for years and finally ordered one. I love how it has a bottom and is shaped like a basket rather than an envelope. The canvas is pliable, yet sturdy. It has enough body to stand up "open." I hope it isn't too shocking to admit that I am currently using it as a knitting bag/"basket." This spacious bag holds projects large and small and, critically, will stand open allowing access. This bag would be great for so many purposes. It's not just for stakes and camp tools anymore!
So far I've had no flies bother me. Because this thing creates a storm just big enough to keep the flies away, it's perfect.
Sometimes I wrap it around my naked body and run through the streets, singing songs about horses and sunsets. It's not failed once to impress the local police.
I love my storm fly.
I originally bought the Springbar Skyliner to use for culinary events and small outdoor classes I host with chefs, like foraging workshops and pop-up dinners, where I needed something dependable and well-built. It’s been great for that, but it’s also become our family camping tent. I take my whole family out in it and those trips have turned into some really special memories for us. Build quality of the components are top notch, I honestly think it’s something my girls will end up using long after I’m done with it. I’ve also had a great experience with Springbar’s customer service. Anytime I’ve had a question, someone knowledgeable responds quickly and is genuinely helpful. It’s definitely a premium product, and both the craftsmanship and the customer service reflect that.
Is a a really easy setup for such a big tent. Love how tall the roof is for walking around the tent. If you want setup and take down to be even faster invest in drill in stakes. Alone can setup the tent in less than 10 minutes easy. Expensive but worth the money. With hot stove going easily had 3 cots and room to spare.
As always, fast and courteous. Here's to another 50 years for this Eurotraveller.
Fast shipping, haven’t set it up yet, looks like good quality
Very well made camp tote! Awesome product that will last forever!
The tent is so spacious, yet at the same time easy to set up. This is the last tent you'll ever need. Do yourself a favor and buy the tarp with it.
Dear Springbar,
My new Skyliner tent arrived on time, ahead of scheduled delivery, and in what appears to be great shape. So far, I haven’t had the time to set it up and try it out… …busy building out my “wood shop" and refurbishing old tools. More later on this tent, but I have no doubts about its inherent quality and future serviceability. My Dad bought a used Springbar (or possibly an early knockoff) when I was a kid. At least it set up the same way even if it wasn’t a genuine Springbar tent.
When it comes to “factory seconds”, it’s not the product itself or the cosmetic flaws that count. It’s the reputation of the company that backs it up. This request for comments screams Springbar CARES.
This being said, at this point in my journey with the Skyliner, I do have these comments, neither of which were deal breakers, at least for me. As such, I respectfully suggest that Springbar consider adding shoulder straps to the tent and pole bags, which would make each item much easier to handle, especially on solo trips. Gunny/duffle-style sacks, which I admit work, are really old school. A great product deserves a better bag.
Like genies, I’ve never met a tent that likes to go back in the bag once released. In lieu of a “burrito-style" bag, I plan to use three tie-down straps or maybe just ropes to squeeze out the air when I pack away the tent. In this regard, your designers might take a look at the bag for the Ellis Canvas Shackleford tent for inspiration.
I'm glad that Springbar is there for us. They have the components, on hand, to replace lost or worn pieces. Great product. Great service.
