Caddis Rapid 4/6-Person Pop Up Tent for Easy Setup, 4/6 Person Capacity for Camping, by Caddis Sports Inc.

Just used this tent for a jeep trip to Point Sublime, North Rim, Grand Canyon. Camped 10 feet from the edge. Tent was great. Fast and easy to set-up. Windows and top panels were a mesh that kept the bugs out, and let air in. We could see the moon and stars through the mesh. You can also use the rain cover and zip the window flaps to seal out the cold/rain if necessary. We did not have rain, so cannot verify "waterproofness." Tent fit two large cots with a 2.5 ft isle between them. More people if they sleep on the floor. Outstanding two-person tent. The rain-seal-flap on the door was somewhat annoying occasionally catching in the zipper, but it was far from a deal breaker.

First off the tent sets up quickn can easily be done with 1 person and is pretty spacious. You will probably have to pack an extra tarp as the floor material isn't the most sturdy.The only con I had was that the tent was barley able to fit 2 people with cots and gear under the Cot. I can definitely see it fitting maybe 3 people comfortably if they are sleeping on the floor with gear. Only other thing is that the zipper sometimes gets caught and you really need to pull the tent taunt.

I put this up by myself in less than 15 minutes (BTW I'm a 70 year old female). It was a test run to make sure I could do it by myself and make sure all the parts were there and working. It took a little bit of strength to pull the poles out and pop the button into place, but after the first one it became easier. I'm about 5 ft 9 and can stand even at the sides. Because I'm tall it wasn't a struggle to get the rain fly on. I also had a new queen size mattress to test so I popped it in and inflated it. I do agree with other reviewers that say this tent is better suited to two people than four if you're going to use a queen size mattress. This was the camping trip I decided I was going to skip the 9-in Coleman mattress and a tent I cannot stand up in, I debated for quite a while between the Caddis and the Gazelle T4, The Caddis won because it has steel poles and a traditional front entry. Unfortunately, they ship it with the kind of tent stakes that are sure to bend while you're putting them in the ground. I anticipated that and ordered heavy duty stakes to avoid the issue. So far, the only con I can see is like most tents it's a struggle to get it back into its carry bag.Edit, I did have the opportunity to take it out camping and found that there were multiple places where the zipper was sewn in but the stitching had missed the mark. That was also one place where a kind of binding that the zipper is sewn to was not sewn down and that was the place that kept catching. I could have fixed it but for this price I decided to return it as defective. It is fast and easy, it is stable- even in the wind. But the craftsmanship was less than what I wanted for the price I paid. I may reorder and hope to get one that has no defects but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Easy set up and take down with the normal problem of getting everything back into the tent bag. Fairly certain that this was a returned tent based on the way it was packaged. Thought the integrated gear net was missing, but found it under the tent when I disassembled it. The 4-person size is perfect for one person with cot and gear or for a couple with no cots.

After reviewing several tents I decided with this one despite the zipper issue which was true. Needed time to get used to it. This four person tent can fit one queen mattress with rooms for personal items, perfect for two adults or one plus two puppies like me lol. I took it out on a windy night and felt the extended coverage of rainfly give me extra protection. I especially like the design that I can open the back window-side rainfly to allow better ventilation. One star off because the zipper got my hair stuck, but overall, I’d still recommend it.

First tent they sent us had a corner strap that had a cut halfway thru it. We sent that one back and waited 9 days to get the replacement. The second tent they sent us the stitching in critical spots such as the corner tie down straps were unraveling and did not make it one camping trip before coming apart. We decided to hand stitch it back together ourselves because we DID like the easy setup of the tent and the poles seemed sturdy. Who ever does the sewing does a very poor job. Additionally, the tent front door zipper gets stuck very easy and is truthfully a pain.

Got it on sale and it survived a tornado that we were evacuated from in TX. Good quality, easy to put up and did not leak.

Really like this tent, the poles were a little challenging the first time, after that was easy and quick to put up by myself. Have not yet camped in the rain with it, but with nice weather it has been great. Plenty of room. I bought a moving blanket to protect the floor and that worked well. Some reviews mentioned the zipper getting stuck, and it will get caught on the flap that protects the zipper, but also easy to avoid. Has good ventilation. I have gotten it back in the original bag without much effort. Good purchase!
