XTERRA™ Highland Tent

The perfect recreational all purpose camping tent for family car camping or group camping. Completely freestanding design with 4-pole construction and additional guyline support for windy conditions. The Highland 8 features one of the roomiest designs on the market with a ceiling that is constructed to an expanded 6-1/2 foot elevation; and not just at the middle of the tent but over 60% of the floor footprint. A unique fully sewn-in fly provides rain protection over all openings and windows. When not needed, the fly retracts allowing maximum air-flow ventilation and low condensation buildup. Flow-thru venting is achieved with 4 large mesh ceiling panels as well as a half-door mesh panel and floor level venting panel which can also be used as a pet door. The double panel door also includes a large exterior floor to keep shoes and packs off the ground and eliminates dirt build-up inside. With fly in place an additional 8’ x 4’ vestibule is created. The tent comfortable accommodates 8 adults with space for accessories. Storage solutions included floor pocket panels as well as elevated wall corner pockets. An optional ceiling clips in or out and allows for storage of lighter items out of the way. An integrated electrical port is sewn into the front panel. Set-up is designed for ease with shock-corded poles that self assemble in seconds. Color-coded sleeves and poles make set-up easy the first time and every time. Once erected the tension of the tent and fly can be adjusted as needed to ensure a safe and weatherproof structure for your camping adventures.

Very spacious w/average quality & design

Pros: spacious
Cons: acts like a kite, poor seam quality, integrated rainfly/awning flaps, small storage bag
"Tents are always very small which results in no room to move around. I appreciate the need for this when backpacking or winter camping but for summer car camping I wanted something with some room.
I purchased this tent with high hopes of finding the perfect car camping tent but am somewhat disappointed. They did a pretty good job making the tent dummy proof through their color coding so it was relatively easy to set up, however I nearly pulled one of the clips (that you hook onto the poles) through the stitching and will likely end up having to return the tent in about a year when it does tear through. There is a green awning type cover on the front that you HAVE TO stake out or else it will flap around all night (made my son think that there was a bear outside). The storage bag is far too small and I could not fit everything back into it (I don't know why all tent makers don't provide a larger bag with synch straps).
I now have a very big tent and heavy tent with the beginnings of a tear in two bundles in my garage. Let's see how it works the second time."
