Review: Excellent
Great for extended trips and when the big storm comes in with lots of tie outs that work well in heavy rain. Equipped with large cargo pockets, gives privacy for two separate parties and is very sturdy when tied out and staked. Great as a family or group tent as the internal tents are removable making it a great cooking tarp. Comes with a compression stuff sack but tends to be heavy. Great for car or river camping.

Review: Great





It is extremely light easy to set up with lots of vestibule space for gear. This tent sleeps two easily but is prone to condensation build up as it is a single wall tent even with the ventilation holes at the top. The Vario tent is extremely waterproof and is highly recommend for light weight backpacking.
