POD-01 [LAST-CALL]

Update: Found a manufacturing defect where the seam in one corner of the bathtub floor is incomplete. Not torn, they just missed with the sewing machine. Order with enough lead time to set it up at home and inspect it before taking it out to the campsite.

This tent is a simple 2-pole dome, easy to set up by oneself. It's just barely large enough for me (5'7") and a duffel bag; it's a "2-person" tent only if you have two people who don't care for personal space and have no gear. Or, if the two people in question are 3 years old.

This tent was purchased to be a play tent of larger footprint and greater durability than the play tents available - as a bonus it's cheaper and suitable for outdoor use. My twins fit into it with plenty of room for a great many of their toys, and they can stand up inside (taller of the two is 40 inches).

For actual camping/outdoor use: it has a bathtub floor so it should remain dry. There's a teeny tiny rain fly that could be mistaken for a gear loft if you are accustomed to fully featured tents. There are two small vents at the top that the rain fly protects, and the door has a mesh layer to act as additional ventilation if needed. The waterproof layer of the door has a wide flap to protect the zipper from rain intrusion since it's not protected by the rain fly. Overall, ventilation may be a concern when the door is fully closed; might end up with condensation on the inside. There's a small bag included with aluminum stakes, but no bag for the poles.

Overall, this tent is a good option for 1 average-or-shorter adult who needs a cheap tent for infrequent use, or a great option for a play tent for kids.
