randy.e.leeUsed to carry it at our outdoor store here in texas, it is gimmicky and nothing more. If you've ever messed with those car sun shades that fold up or a green screen that folds up, its a similar concept. It is not completely free standing because it needs to be guyed out. Kind of cool. Never had any come back for warranty repair so that's something. But they may have just not tried or weren't using it much.
TKellySooooo, this is basically similar to the Coleman "Pop-up tent"? Kinda cool in that you can zip them together. Not cool that I can't find anything on them - things like: how waterproof is the rain fly? Weight? Or, Dimensions.... those would be great.
I could DEFINITELY see my little nephews and their buddies out camping in a few of these tethered together.... just depends on some specs.
