Family-Tents wenzel Insect Armour Tent x feet

This is a great tent. I'm a City girl with a son that wanted to join Cub Scouts. I've never been camping or put up a tent but managed to put this one up by MYSELF in a matter of minutes. 1 adult and 2 children slept comfortably inside and we had room for a queen size air mattress and our bags. I would say you can fit 4 people inside. 5 is pushing it, unless it's 1 adult and 4 children. I can't imagine fitting 5 adults inside but it's a really nice tent and the bug armor really works (says the girl that is scared of bugs). I would recommend it.

First time using it one of the main poles snapped due to some wind, as well as a tear formed along the base seam below the back window. Would not recommend this product in the wind or rain.

This tent looks nice but it leaks like crazy. It was brand new and we set it up as instructed and even suspended a tarp above it yet any water that touched it came through. Rain dropped from the top and water leaked through the seams. I am so disappointed.

After receiving this product I immediately unboxed it and set it up in my backyard. At this point in time I am extremely pleased with this purchase. It is a lot roomier than my old tent so I am looking forward to having some room. I am 6'1 and I just about fit into this tent at full stretch laying down. I do not think it is a full 7ft by 7ft but it is kind of close to that.I can confirm that I do not smell any of the insect repellent stuff. I actually sniffed it out and did not notice anything at all. I can not confirm if it actually repels mosquitos or not but I sort of feel that any tent is insect repellent if it can be shut properly. I did notice some love bugs walking on my tent within the first few minutes so maybe they are immune?Pros-Looks greatLovely DesignWell BuiltSturdyCons-Not quite as big as advertisedFitting 3 adults in here would be a stretchInsect repellent but insects were crawling on the tentIn conclusion I would totally buy this tent again for the price. I have not actually camped with it yet but will do so next week. I will update my review as I see there are no reviews and I feel it could really help all you potential buyers out. This tent seems like a perfect 1 person size tent (unless you are willing to cuddle with your significant other).

Service

As a full time missionary I thought this tent would be a good investment. At first I was very happy with the tent it seemed like a great solution to housing issues we are having. I payed a very high price for this tent because Wenzel prides themselves on quality, but I have been most unimpressed. The following are issues I have experience with the product in just over two months living in it."D style door with inside flap zippered window" - The zipper catches on the yellow material in front of it nearly every time the door is zipped or unzipped. the window is supposed to roll inside of the area at the bottom, but always falls open risking damage to the tent."Removable seam-sealed fly provides weather protection" - This is simply inaccurate. you would be just as wet with the fly off. It rains right through the material. Additionally, the design of the fly come loose at the edges regardless of how you tie it down and the wind catches inside the central lifts causing the whole tent to be dragged upward."Mesh roof vents offer great air flow" - Then why is it always between 97-112 Degrees inside the tent on a 70 Degree day???I have had several items inside the tent damaged by heat."Multi-Diameter fiberglass poles provide more head room and livable space"- This is the one reason that this tent gets more than one star."Fly ridge pole provides awning over front door and rear window"- awning is a stretch, it is less than a foot of coverage"Pre-attached guy ropes for added stability" they do nothing for keeping the fly over the mesh areas.I addition, I have had issues with the wind causing tears in various parts of the tent. First rain of the year came in this week and now nearly all of my possessions were soaked through thanks to the awful material they designed for the fly. I'm definitely not a happy camper in this tent

The tent rainfly is not water resistant at all! I woke up to drips on my head and sleeping bag just from a light morning Dew. I can't imagine what would happen during a rain or storm. I actually had to pack up and head home, cutting my camping trip short. I'll never buy a Wenzel tent again and you shouldn't either. If I could give zero stars I would.

This is such a convenient tent with the added bonus of insect protection! It's a great size - roomy without being too bulky and is super easy to set up. I own an insect repellent shirt which works great so was curious to see how the tent would work. You wouldn't be able to tell that there is anything different about the material... until you realize that you aren't being hounded by pesks! There is no smell or odd texture. It really did make a difference with the bugs and I can't wait to use it again!
