Gazelle Tents Tents T3X Hub Tent

I had a Coleman dome tent for 15 years that finally deteriorated and was looking for something nice and easy to use to replace it. I have been very impressed with this tent and the canvas is much thicker and durable than a traditional tent which helps keep heat in, in the winter. In the summer I like to put a portable AC unit in the tent and stays pretty cool. Since the tent has two doors, I am able to put the hose for the portable AC out on one side and still have another door to use for getting in and out. The removal bottom is nice, as I can put everything on the bottom, and then set the tent over it and also makes it easy to clean. The oversized bag is really nice so you don't spend forever folding up a tent just to get it to fit. Set up is super easy, just pop out all of the sides, put the rain fly on and then pop the top up. On my most recent camping trip, it only took me 5-10 minutes to unpack and setup all on my own, where my friend's tents took 20-30 minutes and took multiple people. While the price for this tent is notably higher than other common tents, I think you get what you pay for. One thing to watch out for is to pop open the tent from the outside only, as I tried popping it from the inside and cut my finger pretty bad as it got caught in the hub for the poles.

First off , it came well packaged in a double box , Amazon prime shipping was terrible and not really worth the cost of membership as it took over 20 days to be delivered, that said the Tent is awesome, it's made very well, very nice fabric, the zippers are ykk zippers and very solid quality, the foot print is very durable and nicely done, stakes for the footprint are cheap and bend but it's not a big deal. The stakes for the tent itself work very well and we have some rocky hard compacted soil full of shale and they just push in with ease ,and pull out very easily,The rain fly is very nice and the entire tent set up in 47 second's and that's with staking the foot print down and putting on the rain fly! Crazy fast and super easy .Took me like 2 minutes to pack it up and Stowe everything back in the water resistant bag which is also very well thought out also love the fact that the bag is oversized and everything fits perfectly back inside it without trying to force the zippers closed around the tent like 99% of the other tents I have purchased. The seperate Velcro pouch for storage of the stakes is also very nice and thought out ,keeps them away from the tent completely and within reach . I'm 6 foot 1 and I can actually stand up in the middle with tilting my head down a bit without an issue so if I needed to change my clothes it be pretty easy , the 6 windows and 2 doors when opened up make the tent feel very open and comfortable even today when it hit 89° degrees outside and I love that there's 4 pouches big enough for a small tv or laptop to be placed inside securely, I like the wall pouches too allot , makes the tent very well thought out again that you can store clothes or jackets in the walls and the huge ceiling storage area works great for a full size box fan . Today while testing out which cots will fit I accidentally dumped my icy tea and it was all over the floor, and I quickly opened up the floor and mopped it out , the removable floor is such a great idea , makes cleaning up so easy. Tent floor dried like it never happened and it was just as easy to stick the floor back into place. I also think it's near to that with the Gazelle I can add my portable 100 watt solar panel to the outside, open up the floor and run my wire to the solar generator inside the tent without making any holes big enough for the creepy crawlers to access the inside ! This is a big deal and game changer in my opinion. I've been backpacking and camping for several years now and I operate a outdoors club here and tested out so many tent's that I just couldn't recommend. This tent however I highly recommend it, 5 stars is way to low of a rating in my opinion. Looking forward to many years of use and I'm definitely going to be purchasing another one.

I used this tent one time, on a week long solo work/camping trip. I have a bad shoulder, and it was easy for me to set up. The rainfly is also very simple to attach, and is very effective at helping keep the tent dry. It rained steadily the first night I stayed in the tent, and the tent did not leak. The tent has many storage pockets, which are very convenient. The zippers are sturdy and work well. There are 4 D rings on the ceiling of the tent, which are for hanging a ceiling storage net, but I used them for hanging my lights. I opened the Velcro that attaches the floor to the tent a few inches, and used the opening as a port to run an extension cord through, from which I ran my small electric heater, lights, and phone charger. The small heater kept me comfortably warm at 32 degrees F. I used a cot for sleeping, and used a small table, chair, and small heater in the floor space, comfortably. Recommend a cot, as underneath the cot makes a great storage area for a suitcase, backpack, and other gear. I used a tarp as a footprint under the tent to protect the floor, and another tarp inside the tent to protect the floor. Breaking down the tent and putting it back in the bag was very simple and easy. The tent seems to be sturdy, durable, and of very high quality. The only flaws in the system are the stakes, which are very flimsy and basically useless, unless you are camping on a sandy beach. Fortunately, I brought along sturdier tent stakes, and didn't use the stakes that came with the tent. All things considered, this tent seems near perfect for me so far. I camp often, usually in more primitive circumstances than my first use of the tent, and will update this review after several more uses. Update: After having used this tent for 5 more camping trips of 3 days or more, I absolutely love this tent. It's the perfect car camping tent for me. It has not leaked in the rain, has been stable in high winds, and everything is still in perfect working order. It kept me comfortable in 20 degree F weather when using a portable heater. All around the most well designed and practical tent I've ever seen, would give it 6 stars if I could.

Within few minutes I set up the tent, cot and was ready to barbecue. We left the top open and we watched the stars while falling asleep. Beautiful tent, sturdy and easy to assemble and pack. Fits perfectly in my motorcycle trailer with two cots with mattress, all camping gear and food for few days.

Surement une jolie tente mais pour le rangement dans la voiture n'est pas simple et contrairement à ce qui est dit, cela ne rentre pas en travers dans toutes les voitures. Exemple, dans un GMC Acadia on ne peut fermer les portes et en long, cela rentrera mais vous devrez baissez les sièges pour accepter le sace de 1m47... En gros faut une grosse voiture et n'être que deux !...
