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.

This tent sets up in under one minute. That does not include time to set a base or tie downs. Those are the minor details you need to take time on to make sure the tent is secure. Take down is just as fast. Folds easy and packs away. As others have mentioned, the stakes are a joke. Plan on buying a better set at some point. I had one break on first use. I will say the tent is sturdy and the rainfly does its job. We had a storm come through the first week of May. One of the shade canopies collapsed due to water build up and it fell on the tent. We stayed in a camper that night. Next morning I found the collapsed tent and all the water from the canopy collected on the sunken rainfly. It held like a champ! I did find that the center of the mattress in the tent was damp. I can't complain because the rainfly was holding 10-15 gallons of water on top after the collapse. Had the tent not been close to the canopy this would never had happened. Overall a very sturdy tent and it will keep the water out. I also like that I can just about stand up in it. The number of windows and doors allows plenty of airflow too.

I have 3 categories that I require 3 different tents.. Overlanding, backpacking & kayak camping. This tent is too heavy for backpacking I'll stick with my Nemo hornet ul tent. Kayak camping it's a bit long when folded up. But with car camping or overlanding it is a game changer. I love this tent..... It is made of high quality. My favorite part is the ease of setting up & taking down this tent. It has plenty of room inside. It does very well with weathering storms plenty stable in high winds as long as you stake it out properly. I haven't had any issues with this tent. I have owned many tents and all of them have had their pros & cons. This is a great tent for camping in all climates from deserts to rain forests. In summer i run a small usb fan in winter i just use my down sleeping bags. It holds up well in heavy rain falls. If you can afford the weight & size, this is the perfect tent. It is very comfortable. This tent is made of thicker materials compared to my ultralight tent. It should be way more durable. I had talked to several other gazelle tent owners before purchasing mine, they were happy with their purchases.

This is generally a good tent. It is super easy to set up and take down, though it is a bit awkward for 1 (small) person to carry and put it in the bag. I love that I can stand up inside. It held up nicely during a windy/rainy night. I have the 3 man. It is good for 1 person camping with lots of room for gear, or 2 people if you like to sleep close. A few things I don't like - 1) there is a small hole where the pull cord goes through the ceiling. I've seen all sorts of creepy crawly things on my tent, and up near the hole. I blocked it up with some foam and velcro, but without that I would be really worried about things crawling in. 2) The gazelle logo in the ceiling reminds me of giant spiders. 3) Like lots of people mention, the doors are weird. You have to turn sideways and it's a big step to get in/out. The locations are weird too. Normally you might sleep 2 people with one on each side of the tent. However with these door locations being in the corners, you can't really do that. I am generally happy with this tent, but might also look for something else with an easier entrance, or one I can share with a friend but not have to sleep super close to each other.

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 !...
