Factory 2nd is a great way to get a discount on a quality tent. The defects are so minor, it is difficult for any person to find the defects even when made known it is a factory 2nd. I would recommend factory 2nds to anyone that wants a high quality canvas tent with a discount.
The tent was as high quality as you could hope it to be. But what I was most impressed with was how Springbar follow up in their customer service. There was a couple of things I needed help with regarding set up, and the function of the poles. They followed up quickly on helping fix an issue I had. Great company.
So you guys hit a Grand slam the day Skyliner was conceived, Springbar is above and beyond it’s compediters. You guys Rock!!!, If Skyliner had wheels I’d move into it.
I haven’t tested it out completely yet but I set up the ground tarp under my CJ140 so I could season the tent. You can tell it’s high quality and last a very long time. So far I am very pleased with the purchase.
I have owned a lot of tents anything from Walmart specials to the Cabelas Big Horn and Kodiak Canvas 10x14. I do a lot of public land hunting and prefer boat in camping when possible to get away from the chaos. This tent is the perfect size, excellent quality and for what you’re getting in my opinion it packs down to an acceptable size. I use one large tote for the tent and another large tote for my sleeping system (xl cot, sleeping pad, sleeping bag) and other small camp items. I go on these trips with a goal in mind and being able to recharge is crucial and this tent allows me to do that comfortably without any excess bulk or wasted energy. It won’t fit everyone’s needs perfectly but if you’re a solo public land hunter who isn’t interested in hauling a trailer or doesn’t have the option then I can highly recommend this tent.
These are very nice panels that match the quality of the tent. They zip on nice and provide a nice vestibule type area for putting on shoes, storing stuff under cover, etc.
Super fast delivery and great customer service. You never know when you might need these’s factory repair kits, best to have them then not. Now i just have to store them where i can find them if needed LOL.
The ground tarps are perfect and provide that extra protection from wear and tear and helps keep everything clean. I’ve been running one under the tent and one inside. Several week long elk trips and my tent looks new.
This is my first canvas product and it is fantastic! It will surely last a lifetime.
I have yet to use the Classic Jack 140 but I have set it up in the backyard and it is a beast. Very well made and simple to setup. It will be home for a couple upcoming hunts in Nov, Dec and Feb. I’m researching stoves now as I will certainly need some heat for the winter hunts.
