Hillman 3-4 Person 2-Season Lightweight Backpacking Tent

james tuijames tui: This tent has enough room for two people and backpacks, it also has good ventilation and two openings to exit or enter without having to climb over your mate sleeping. You will need a tarp to have underneath the tent as it’s very thin material and this was set up on grass and I could feel the grass underneath. So to protect your tent I’d advise you to use a tarp so as not to damage your floor. It’s easy to set up and pack away and is very compact to carry in your backpack or clipped to your backpack. Overall this is good for the price and I’m happy with the purchase. The shipping from the U.S was quick as well. Thanks Amazon US. I recommend this to anyone looking for a lightweight tent and for the price it’s worth it. Buy the way this is the three man tent.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Used this tent 3 times during some fly-ins this summer. On one evening we had rain and we remained completely dry. The bonus that the no-see-um netting is over the main canopy allows for better ventilation and if no rain is forecast you can see the stars at night. Quality of poles and lines is of high quality. The stitching is also very good. I didn't use a ground sheet but that would be a good idea to protect the floor.

Hannah Rivers: There are several well-thought-out aspects of this tent; the rainfly clips into the tent at the corners (ease of use), the lead lines to tie down the tent are bright yellow (lowers tripping hazard in the dark), the peaked fly allows room to shelter items out of the rain but out of the tent (clean), and the tent pegs are aluminium and therefore very lightweight. When I took this tent camping in a thunderstorm, the bottom did not leak despite the tent being on an actual pool of water. I can definitely recommend! It is a good tent for a decent price.

Cora Bock: Das Zelt ist leicht auf und ab zu bauen,hält Regen stand.Doch mit nichten ist es groß genug für 3 Personen.Es ist definitiv nur ein 1-2 Personen Zelt,das ist das einzige Manko

Gabriel G.Gabriel G.: I had this sitting at home for awhile before I got to take it out. The poles are durable and light, there is a lot very fine mesh for those hot summer nights, and the vestibule is great to have. My first night was a cold and rainy night, and this tent took it like a champ; I had no leaks and no condensation due to the great airflow. I don’t really have any complaints, but I would if I were any taller. I’m about 5’10, and my feet and head were pretty close to the ends of the tent. I was pretty comfortable, but if you’re taller than me, keep that in mind. Also, the threads were on the rainfly’s air vent was a little ripped, nothing major. I just slapped some duct tape on it. It was too late to return. Overall, I like it. It’s a fair size for me.

PlaceholderPlaceholder: I live in the North East and camp at least once per month all year long with the Scouts. My old tent that I had for 30 years had seen it's better day and needed replacing. After reading many good reviews on this tent I bought two of the 4-season 2-man tents in May of 2021. For the $68 I paid I didn't expect a whole lot from these tents. Thankfully, 15 months and 18 camping trips later, I love these tents! They have been through baking sun, rain, sleet, snow and hail, two sweltering summers, a freezing winter, and some wonderful spring and fall weather. I am amazed at how well these inexpensive tents have held up. They held up to windy days, have been snowed on and I've stayed dry through 3 days of solid rain. I'm surprised that I've not even been dripped on from condensation in the winter. Other things I love about this tent is the gear pockets in the corners and the net in the top, set up/take down is quick and easy, and they are light enough to take backpacking (I use Tyvek for my foot print). These tents were a really great deal for the price. Of course every tent has a it's faults....seeing as these are 4-season tents they are really hot in the...

Amazon Customer: Great tent! Typical two pole arch tent, good material and easy to setup. very light.The base is well built and the corners are nicely reinforced. It's two layers, so the rain fly is seperate which is great for warm weather camping. The aluminum poles stood very strong and did not bend or hold the curve after take down. Zippers are very smooth, while not super heavy duty it is what you would expect from a backpack tent. I actually fit a twin size mattress inside (not a blow up, an actual mattress) just to see if I could and had room to spare. Had some minor rain and it stayed dry. Anyone that knocks this tent expects to much from a temporary fabric shelter at the Benjamin Franklin price point. I would buy again. Based on first use, as long as you handle it respectfully in normal conditions I expect a good 50-60 setup and teardowns without any failure of zippers, straps or clips.

Katherine RosalesKatherine Rosales: Esta tienda es justo lo que buscaba, es ligera, así que puedes llevarla sin que pese.
Es amplia, fácil de instalar, y fácil de guardar.
El hecho de que la capa para cubrir el techo se pueda quitar, hizo que pudiera disfrutar de las estrellas =) desde la comodidad de mi sleeping.

jeffrey kinney: I used to have an REI Clipper but sold it when I moved out of state. I've done a whole lot of camping and backpacking in colorado. This tent is a great value for the money. Marketed as a 4-season tent but not really a 4-season although one could fabricate a tarp structure over this tent and it would work. I'm giving it 5 stars because it's a well designed tent, free standing, easy to put up. And has 2 doors and a great roomy vestibule. Pockets for the screen doors when opened, a compression strap for storage which doubles as a a way to keep fly open and secure. Has a light hanger built-in as well as 2 ceiling vents in the fly which are very well designed. Plus nice quality aluminum poles, bags for stakes, poles and a great bag for the tent. All for $75 georgie's.

PracticalParent: For the price, this is an amazing tent, and I highly recommend it for summer camping. The rain fly doesn't leak, and without the rain fly, you have a lovely view through an open screen above you all night. It is fast and easy to set up, and while not the lightest weight tent I have, it is quite light and easy to carry. Also, it has a great packing bag, and wonderful details like a strap that goes around and secures the tent after you roll it up and before you try to put it into the bag. This tent was designed by people who actually camp.

There are downsides, even if I give this 5 stars. For me, the 5 stars is a rating for the price point and the functionality of the tent. I can tell I will get a few good years out of this tent at least, probably more. For the price point, I can't imagine asking for more, especially when I have had more expensive tents that I have been less pleased by.

The downsides I see are:
Seams are not perfectly stitched. I found wrinkles stitched into the interior zipper edges, a couple of places where the stitch lines crossed or a stitch pulled out, etc. This is on a close inspection, and after a few trips out in...
