Title: 3-Season? Really?
Product review: I was told by a backpacking friend who has completed the Appalachian trail that for a general purpose tent for the occasional family overnight or scout trip I want a "3-season" tent. The description for this tent said that specifically so I ordered it based on reviews. Got it a day early and opened it up. The sides of this thing are large screens with nothing to cover them up. Tomorrow night it is supposed to dip into the high 30s here. We would freeze if we tried to do the overnight in this tent! Apparently, there is a difference between a 3-season tent and a tent good for "3-season hiking". Wish I had known that before I bought this thing. Without any time to order something decent I am off to the big box stores to by the wally-world brand. Buying a decent tent is an activity reserved only for those who know what they're doing. The rest of us novices should buy from a place where you can see the tent assembled.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
