              Fantastic Tent!

              My second Springbar tent and it’s awesome! Top quality and customer service is amazing as well. Can’t recommend enough.

              This thing is amazing, especially in high wind

              I LOVE this tent. I did a truly obnoxious amount of research before deciding which tent to buy, and I'm glad I went with this one. I do this event in the desert twice a year, and I wanted something I could set up myself if need be, that I could check in my luggage when flying, and that's as bomb proof as possible. The wind at this event gets wild, and this past year we literally had 20-40 mph wind for like, 12 hours, with gusts up to at least 60 mph. Structures were collapsing left and right. But this tent was SOLID. I love it. And, I'm pretty small, so the inside is more than enough room or me.

              This is the third Spring bar tent I have purchased and never have been disappointed. I quality is the best! They are heavy and pricey but perfect for my needs on long term archeological projects. For back packing you may still want to consider the lighter Chinese nylon tents that I consider disposable at the end of your hike or first mountain rain storm. After one nightly Sierra downpour, I was camped around 10 others and was the only one left to camp another night in my Springbar!

              Awesome!

              My wife and I love this little “Compact” tent. It’s perfect for the two of us. I specifically ordered from Springbar because they still make their tents in USA and that’s a huge plus for me. Very good quality; definitely will purchase from them again when we need more space.
