Factory 2nds—a selection of tents graded as a ‘cosmetic second’ by our tent inspectors.
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!
Springbar always provided me with great quality products no matter if it’s the factory 2nds or a regular tent! Always love shopping with them and they are the first place I go to when I need field tents for research work.
The Skyliner really is substantially bigger on the inside. Compared to my other 10x14 Family Camper the Skyliner is noticeably more spacious. I believe this has aluminum uprights, which are lighter and won’t rust. The cross bar is big and beefy (it has to be) and the overall package is still heavy, but that’s what you get for a quality canvas tent and you're getting a lot of upside. It has the usual Springbar quality and features but it’s all dialed up to the next level. Very, very nice overall.
