Factory 2nds—a selection of tents graded as a ‘cosmetic second’ by our tent inspectors.
3rd season with this this tent. NO regrets on a Factory 2nd! I do see the "blemishes" they mentioned (Missing floor reinforcements on 1 side, untidy stitching and smaller tie backs) but the tent perform(ed) just fine. No leaks-except the 1st time it rained (at the seam above the door) but once it swelled up, it stopped and the amount of water I only used 1 shop towel to soak up. My other 2nds were a couple of Vagabonds and those still work flawlessly! Another quality product and saved me a few bucks off retail, too! ;)
Everything looks good so far, I still haven't put up the tent but everything seems to be in order.
Purchased a factory second… description said there was a flaw in the material near the door; still have not been able to find the flaw! Tent is awesome.
Well built, waterproof, and stormproof.
Spent a week in this tent during a late deer hunt and it held up great!
The compact size is a little less cumbersome that a full-size wall tent but still provides plenty of room for a cot, sleeping bag, gear, and a dog. Definitely recommend to anyone that wants the benefits of a wall tent but doesn't necessarily need something they can stand in.
Customer service is amazing, called a few times about a traveler 2nd and someone answered every time, plus they were super nice! Tent was just as described, came with everything it was supposed to, and went up like a charm. The team at springbar really know what they are doing and made this an amazing purchase!
