Factory 2nds—a selection of tents graded as a ‘cosmetic second’ by our tent inspectors.
First camping trip with my Skyliner was for a weeklong deer camp. Lots of gear and a lot of rain during our trip. We had three days where it rained all day long and didn't have any leaks. Had one small area that wet out on the roof the first full day of the rain but it never dripped. The after drying and getting rain again it didn't seem to wet out like before. Did not use a wood stove but with 3 cots and hunting gear, space disappears quick, I couldn't imagine trying to do that with a stove. With that said I do plan on getting a stove for when we need less gear. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the purchase.
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.
After receiving my new Vagabond I set it up in the yard and am truly amazed at the simplicity of set up and Quality! Springbar defiantly sets the Gold Standard for tents! The amazing thing this tent was a second! But I cannot find the flaw! Thanks Springbar for Top Quality.
After careful review, purchased a Skyliner (Factory 2nd). We were looking for a tent for year round adventures with lots of room. Springbar delivered and we are very happy.
I ordered a factory 2nd Vagabond with a "fabric defect" and "floor pinches." These are cosmetic errors that are extremely minor and don't affect the functionality and performance of the tent. I am thrilled with my purchase! I set it up for two days at a local state park recently. I also have an upcoming camping trip this coming week in the Adirondack Mtns. of NY state. Then later this winter I'm heading to Arizona to camp on BLM land long-term. I can't wait to put it through its paces. Thank you, Springbar!
