Texsport Willowbend Trail Tent Review

We picked up 2 of these for a couple of 10-year old boys that were a bit annoying to tent with ("Why is there sand everywhere?", "Which of you hooligans left the door open?", "Why am I sleeping in kool-aid?", "Whose underwear are on my pillow?").They now each have their own tent!They love it, and we are all much happier.The boys sometimes set the tents up in the yard, just for fun...and camping in their own tent has really taught them a lot of responsibility.

The zippers, material, and overall quality are not great, but for twenty biguns I won't be upset when they finally get destroyed.We have about 10 nights using them so far, and no serious problems (one zipper never worked quite right). The poles are actually really light aluminum, and quite study.The tents have little ventilation though, so they heat up fast inside (and get moist if you close the door).

I highly recommend this tent for a childs first tent.I turned the strings into loops, so the boys can more easily hook the ropes where they need to, and set it up for them once.Since then, they have been doing fine on their own.The tent even fits easily into the bag, and they can both do it (sometimes they need an adult to help squish the air out or pull up a stuck stake).

2 people will be cramped, 1 will be fine.You will want to leave the door and tiny window open so you don't build up moisture (which will make you more cold than leaving it open).Also, you might not want to use the side tie-downs.They cause the tent to sag in the middle.We loosely attach them to something, so they only come into play during a gust of wind.

Overall, a great first tent, simple to set up, sturdy, and an excellent value.
