(Mostly) Ideal for Florida Adventures
By DigitalPasture
I've had this tent for about two years now. I looked for a tent suitable for my needs and couldn't find anything affordable from a known brand. I took a gamble as there were no reviews at the time of purchase here on Amazon. Thankfully all turned out well.This tent has already survived at least 8 camping trips, 6 of those hiking or kayaking. I often hike and kayak (sometimes camping on the beach, on the shores of a river or near a bay) which is what I had in mind while purchasing. I paid special attention to the "bathtub" bottom of the tent. It has kept me dry in absolute downpours (sometimes measured in inches per minute) on several occasions. I seldom use the rain-fly (opting instead for a piece of plastic drop-cloth, I do this this with all tents) as it is a bit more difficult to put on than most. The packed-down tent is a bit bulky and heavy in my internal frame bag but it fits (barely) height-wise.Pros:Fits in *my* internal frame packFairly lightBathtub bottom (that works in Florida storms)Double entranceOnly two poles (easy setup in low light)PriceCons:Stupid rain-fly design (it looks to be for snow use so it's probably fine in other environments)Not really backpack friendly (read as awkward), despite the product descriptionHeavier than a backpack tent should be (likely the bathtub bottom)A little (just a bit) condensationFiberglass poles feel a bit fragile (no problems yet)For the price and the fact it is still usable after several trips, I'm very happy with this tent. It's big enough for me (6ft tall) and and my gear, it has a good floor and it's small(ish) and light(ish) enough to allow for backpacking and kayaking. Too bad I bought a few other tents (some much more expensive) before adding this to my kit. I haven't found the perfect Florida 2-man backpacking tent yet, but this is close.

Good light weight tent for hiking. Good for 2 men and u can put your gear in the Foyer. Rain fly works great, I had this thing in a down pour and never got wet.

I bought a new Kelty Zenith 2 tent (FG poles) and then saw this Highpeak one on sale locally for only $39! - so I bought that one as well, with the intention of returning one of em. I set them up side by side indoors and here are my observations about the HighPeak when compared to the Kelty:-unknown German brand, but uber cheap and seems well made (in China).-taped seams on the fly with 2 entrances and vestibules!-slightly wider and taller than the Kelty, but a 1.5 pounds heavier, probably due to rugged PE floor (tarp material)-pole clips for speedy assembly, but clips were more difficult to open and might be hard with gloves or cold wet hands-smallish wall pockets and no gear loft.-poles made a cracking sound when bending, which is scary, since there are so many bad reviews specifically mentioning broken poles.If you can find this tent cheap and just add in the cost of replacement aluminum or quality FG poles then it makes for an awesome budget tent. Otherwise, you'll be cursing about this tent online after you break a pole out in the woods. I've emailed the company asking about the cost of replacement aluminum poles, but a week later and still no answer. Not too encouraging...
