Sierra Designs: Bedouin 6 Tent - Altrec.com Product Description:

Two doors and two vestibules manage a party of six with ease on the Bedouin 6. DAC Press Fit poles withstand windstorms and years of use, while 70-denier tent and fly material won't degrade after a few seasons. Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh keeps mold and mildew at bay, even if the tent's material is stored wet for a brief period or your trip stays damp for days on end. All the Sierra Designs detailed styling you've come to expect, but built out into an enormous (76 square feet!) base camp shelter. Over 60 feet of covered vestibule space stores bikes, packs, shoes, guests, too. For a huge group, this is the party house - or family cabin, depending on your backcountry goals! Fully featured doesn't mean complicated - the Bedouin 6 relies on a traditional X-tent structure and color-coded webbing for ease of set up.

Returned Was disappointed. The fly did not fit correctly and was difficult to position. Maybe just a defect on this tent, but I returned it. The folks at Altrec gave great customer service. Would buy from Altrec again, just not this tent.

great features, poor performance I have been an avid backpacker for 20+ years and have always sought out the best equipment; recently my wife and I had a baby which has completely changed the way we look at our gear. Buying a large (affordable) family tent has been an adventure all on its own. When the Bedouin 6 arrived I was thrilled. The set-up was a snap, storage amazing, and the light colored fabric allowed great visibility inside. We have since gone on two outing and my joy has diminished. Our first trip saw wind and rain. While we stayed dry, the fly (even when tightened fully and guyed out) flapped and water pooled on the top. Also once the fly was tightened it pulls down on the top tent poles causing the inside tent walls slack and not be taunt, which is very annoying if you happen to be sleeping under it. Our second (and last, as we are returning and starting our search all over again) trip we were next to a river, very moist and cool when we woke the condensation was dripping from the fly ceiling through the mesh on to us. I'm not sure if we some how got a "bad tent," as I have had many products made by SD and all have been of excellent quality, the tent seems to have everything but just didn't perform.
