I absolutely love this tent! The quality of stitch is amazing. This tent has changed me. Thank you

Looking forward to finally getting to try it out

I got the compact (may have had a diff name 10 years ago) when working remote country in Idaho's Tetons. Have packed the tent into on-site with the buckskin or the truck through undisturbed corners of the northern Rockies in every element. The Springer has gone days of not being allowed to dry before being packed and moved. And moved again. One of the screen door zippers wants babied and a mouse chewed a few holes that needed mended but this tent is part of family. EZ to put up in wind/rain/snow. Keep it waterproofed and it will keep you dry. Congrats Springbar for continued success in the era of synthetics. ~Valerie~

Had my first opportunity of using the Compact tent in Joshua Tree National Park. Even with a high wind advisory the tent was rock solid and so much lighter than my old canvas tent. Quality is apparent and so far very pleased!

Decades ago practically everything was what we now consider artisnal. Beautifully crafted locally made items by people who cared were everywhere. Springbar allows us to time travel back to those days. I am grateful. Thank you to Springbar for making a lovely solid canvas and steel home we can take into nature. We were a little confused about setting up our first Springbar, a Traveler, and they went out of their way to help us. We love our Traveler so much we got the Compact when we want to travel lighter. We can't wait to take our Compact out into the wild!

I have never seen a Springbar tent go down in the over 30 years of experience I have with them. This includes 80mph micro-bust windstorms (which destroyed most of the other tents in camp), and a Springbar taking a direct hit from a very, very, large dust devil (I have the video if anyone is interested). That is why I purchased the Springbar Compact tent. I set it up as soon as I received it, and OMG!!!! It is the cutest little Springbar tent ever! I can't wait to show it off! It has the same Springbar quality, but in a lower-profile! This tent will take anything, I have no doubt!!

We had not camped in a decade, so we wanted to try the Compact Springbar tent after learning their history and manufacturing within the US. The tent and parts were delivered promptly and came with everything to get started. The tent size is perfect for two and set up was easy. We did not test the tent under extreme conditions but I do not expect to have any major issues with this tent. I would recommend this tent and Springbar to others.

Well built and American made can’t go wrong.

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.

Before purchasing this tent I had never seen a Springbar tent up close or any other canvas tent..I'd always purchased cheap tents so I didn't know what to expect..glad to say all the reviews for this tent are correct..it is a quality heavy duty tent..I can't recommend Springbar enough..they're nice!

the size, shape, and canvas make it a perfect & classic tent BUT out of the box, the off gassing from the vinyl floor / water barrier is strong to my nose — the tent is hanging open in the shed to air out — and hopefully odor will dissipate by Spring

This is a top quality tent! My first canvas tent. I have motorcycle camped a lot. Small, back packing tents were great. Now I hike a lot. This tent is perfect for base camp. American made Springbar tents are awesome!

Love the value of the tent and the customer service I got over email. I hope to buy more of their product soon for my other friends camping adventures.

Awesome tent, set it up the day after I received it simple assembly and fast very good quality and well made will be using it in May in north central pennsylvania can’t wait also ordered the weekender duffle bag and camp tote matching colors to go with it.

I have had a Skyliner for about a year. I wanted to get something smaller for my son to use on Boy Scout campouts. This thing is wonderful. The first weekend he used it we had some rain showers come through and it was water-tight without evening seasoning it. It held up like a bunker in the wind. Good size for two people on sleeping pads or one person on a low cot. I love all my Springbar tents.

The best tent out there. We use it for bikepacking and while it's not within the usual parameters for how most people bike/backpack, we love it so much that I don't care about the weight. For regular every day camping, it's a light tent. For back/bikepacking, you need to be somewhat of a trooper to stick with it. This is our second compact and I still have the tent my father purchased in 1972. We still use his tent and as well, we own the Skyliner. We have a large property and always set up my father's tent as a 'micro-hospital' of sorts and our Skyliner as a resting tent when we have large gatherings. Our property abuts Willamette National Forest and we're in our tents as much as our home throughout most of the year.
These tents make me feel like I'm a kid in the 70's again, every time I enter one. Something about the smell and the drape of the canvas. Cannot be bested by anything. Except maybe a vintage book. Or grandma's cookies. : )
Thank you Springbar!

I will not use this tent until summer, I bought it for my trips to windsail the Alvord desert. It is everything I expected it to be. Very impressed, can't wait to use it.

It’s a birthday gift for my grandson for February. He will have to review it afterwards.

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

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!

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.

I have 2 spring bar tents.. Same design but this is a good spring bar for me... a spring bar tent is always a pleasure..

I haven't used it yet because I haven't been camping yet, but I trust Springbar.. I am very satisfied..

Great tent
Easy to set up and super good quality.
Thanks

Top notch high-quality all the way around. when I go camping I’m surrounded by tents that are made in China. I am proud to run this tent made in the USA.

Orded for my dad for when he goes fishing. He loves it!! Super light weight and durable tent. He is 69 and perfect for packing around. 10/10 reccomend!

Bought a Factory 2nd Compact - LOVE IT! Being a sewing person myself, i carefully examined all the stitching, hardware, and fabric. Top grade materials all around, Consistent, secure stitching. (i could not flind my tent's "flaw") A lot of care has gone into designing this tent, with chainstitch and bias-cut fabrics on parts that need to stretch, and lockstitch with plenty of reinforcement where it needs to be stable. I winter in the desert near Yuma AZ with my partner, an area notorious for high winds. I like to have my own private space outside the RV for napping, reading, crafts. I'd noticed these canvas tents with the bar across the top in previous years here, the ony ones standing after a storm. The fancy CLAM tents i've been seeing all seem to collapse, the familiar ripstop nylon dome and cabin tents flap themselves to death, shred fabric and break poles. THe dumpsters are full of them at the end of the season. After a little research i found SPRINGBAR and decided to go for it. Couldn't be happier. In the Summer i live in Oregon; i car camp in my 1962 Volvo sedan, and visit with friends and go to festivals. Looking forward to having the COMPACT along for the fun this year! I'll be making a groundsheet and stormfly for it on my 1892 treadle Davis Needle Feed sewing machine. Thank you SPRINGBAR!!!!

Great tents, bought 2 compacts and giving one to my brother as a gift. American made and tough as nails, you really cant go wrong with any of the models in the lineup.

Absolutely love it. Trying out this weekend for first day of deer season.
