Woods

Hi. I loved the simplicity and screen details of tent purchased. Unfortunately there was a tear in the seam and a pole that broke as we set it up for the first time, dissapeared about that. I hope that we just got a lemon tent and the one we receive to replace it is up to expectation! Looking forward to receiving replacement. Thanks

I have only recieved half my order and still have no tracking or explanation on the other half. Very disappointing.

Decided to go with this model without exhaustive research since all high-end tents were backorder due to COVID. I assumed that Woods would be a little more reliable that Outbound, which wins the palm for bad reviews. This tent has 2 major design issues. First the main doors. These big openings go along the length of the tent and have only one pair of zippers, so if you want to open from one side and the zippers are at the opposite side, you need to open the whole door. Not very practical when you have a bunch of mosquitoes wanting to come in for a blood buffet. Also, they open on the top and sides but not on the bottom. This means you have step over the bottom part (about 8-10 inches high) along the narrow zipper opening to get in and out. I think it is a matter of time before our pup rips that part out in some way. Second, the vestibules have restricted space considering the size of the tent. They are designed in a way that if you go in and out when the rain fly is wet, you are surely to get also wet, since as soon as you go out, most of your body is in contact with the vestibule door. More so, once you unzip the vestibule door, all the water droplets fall on the tent. These two issues aside, and maybe the fact that the floor fabric is very thin, I thought it was a decent compromise for the price. However, when the rain came, it did not take too long for water to seep through the seams of the rain fly and our brand-new tent was raining inside. What a disappointment! It was a pretty strong shower, so I thought that maybe it would perform better under light rain. The next day, we had some light showers and the water started seeping through again. I am very disappointed since Canadian Tire has an exchange only policy on tents and I really do not want an exchange for the same tent, since I’m pretty sure these flaws are common to all units. Live and learn as they say. This baby will live on a shelf in my basement for the rest of its life. All this said, if you need a tent that is not too expensive for occasional camping weekends on sunny days and clear nights, I recommend it. The tent structure itself is pretty solid and the space inside is enough for a family of 4 + a dog and all the luggage.

The cord for the roof pole came snapped.

Unfortunately, the sleeping bag of the woods company was not good at all. And I did not receive any complete explanation from this company
