 Great Idea, Bad ExecutionApr 06, 2010
I just purchased this tent as a last minute replacement for my 10-year old tent that finally started showing its age.
I liked the design of this tent, and in theory, it should be a great tent. The idea of having little gear hatches is a great idea. The multiple vents, tons of pockets and gear storage - also great ideas.
The problem is that the tent is just poorly made. Like another reviewer, I could not get this tent to sit flat. The wrap-around design of those gear hatches makes the floor stretch in some places and buckle in others, no matter how long I played with the pole placements on the ground.
Second, the tent seems to have also failed quality control. The rain fly pole is supposed to attach to grommets on either side of the door opening. One side had a grommet, the other side did not.
As others have mentioned, the tent floor is essentially the same material as the sides. You need a tarp to protect the tent bottom, however because of the tent's odd footprint, and the fact that Columbia does not make a custom footprint, the tarp is either too small or too large (unless you want to try cutting one to size).
Lastly, we had a bit of rain, and the rain fly leaked, which brings up a HUGE drawback to this tent. The entire back wall of this tent is mesh screen. This is not obvious from the promotional photos. Although the rain fly covers the mesh, if the fly leaks, you don't have an additional layer of tent material to keep the leaks from coming straight into the tent. Further, the rain fly does not go all the way down to the ground, so you end up with quite a breeze through the back of the tent. This is a great plus on a hot summer night, but not so great on a cold spring or autumn night.
I'm really disappointed in the quality of this tent. Part of my purchasing decision was the reputation and past experience with the Columbia brand. I have had quite a bit of Columbia gear over the past 40 years of camping, and this tent's quality simply falls short.
If you're only caming in warm and dry conditions, this tent should be ideal (assuming the floor is sewn evenly and the grommets are punched on both sides of the door). But if you're going to any cool weather, or if there is any chance of rain, I would stay away from this tent.

Me and my wife used this tent up in the north maine wood's for a few days and it worked out great. A little water came in on the back zipper, but the wind was blowing a great deal too. So if your ever on vacation in maine be sure to go camping in the north maine wood's. WE NEED YOUR MONEY!!! :-}

Nice Tent BUT...Dec 07, 2009
Purchased this for a camping trip through national parks. First night in Grand Canyon North Rim it hailed like crazy. Didn't know what was hitting us till we stepped out when it stopped and the ground was white with ice. Tent held up BUT the flooring is paper thin, if I hadn't laid down a tarp we would have been soaked. Not that the tent leaked per se it just does not keep the water from seeping in. If you decide to buy this tent I would spend 20 bucks on a heavy duty tarp to lay on floor. Coleman tent I own has much thicker flooring, look into those.
