Introducing Factory 2nds, a selection of tents graded as a ‘cosmetic second’ by our tent inspectors. What's a 'cosmetic second' you ask? A 'cosmetic second' is a tent that is found to have a minor cosmetic blemish in the fabric or construction. The performance and utility of the tent are in no way impacted. In terms of durability and reliability in the great outdoors, you've got nothing to worry about.

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.
