great tent with a weak link
By peter sherman
i am a tropical rainforest ecologist and work 25 km in to the forest (sleeping on a open but roofed platform)... so, i need a light mosquito-proof tent. this tent seemed the perfect match at a great price (best price ($[...]) i found was [...]). i had put it up once quickly in my living room to test it and all was well. unfortunately, while putting it up in the field, the poles split under the normal pressure of assembly forcing me to do some quick fix jerry-rigging (got killed by the mosquitos) in the field.so, let me summarize some points:a. very light and compact by tent standardsb. fabric is strong and zipper/fabric worked greatc. the poles are the cheaper ones with external interconnecting metal sheaths so the sheaths catch on the tent sleeves as you feed them through.d. both poles failed under normal usage!!!! - this is the weak (make or break) aspect of this tent.e. the tent model tropic screen II (despite the photo) is now all black; almost no one has updated the photo.f. when i returned home, I called the place i bought it ([...]) and told them about the faulty tent poles. without my need of returning them, they contacted the manufacturer (atwater carey) and without another word, AC had a new set of poles to me within days. no questions asked, no cost to me.i strongly recommend the tent BUT with the additional strong recommendation that you pre-test and stress these poles BEFORE getting out into the mosquito-infested field.hope this helps.
