OUTFITTER

Spacious for one person and rock solid

Researching online for what I required many burners (Burning Man) recommended a Springbar tent. Used my Outfitter for the first time during a festival for 1 week in the Catskill Mountains. It survived heavy rain and wind the last 3 days and remained dry inside thanks to the tarp and rain fly. I was using a compact backpacking tent the past 8 years. At 53 decided I wanted more room to be comfortable. This tent has a lot of space for a single 5'1" person and gear. I'm seriously considering adding the LTD. COMPACT – HOODOO for shorter excursions which require less gear. For those who need extra info. : I was able to use a Helinox Cot One Convertible with extension legs, Exped MegaMat Sleeping Pad medium wide on the short side of the tent. The cot barely touched the tent. Being short the walls of the tent slanting inwards did not touch me plus there was still a lot of room.

Outfitter

Received the tent and set it up immediately. Impressive design. May have jumped the gun with purchase. Not about quality, but regarding weight. In my case, age may be the factor. No way to stop the clock.

Strong well-made tent, worth the price

I bought this tent to replace a 10x12 foot cabin type tent that I used for a field office on core drilling projects. While the Outfitter is smaller, the main goal was to reduce the difficulty in putting up the older tent. One drawback to this tent is the sloped sides that cut down on the usable space for worktables. However, the much lighter weight and one-person assembly make up for it. The material is strong, the fit and finish extraordinary and the fact that it is made in Utah from US sourced components sold me on it.
