Klymit - Cross Canyon 3-Person Tent

Bought one on a whim because the price was right. Camped all night in it last night with my three and six year-old in constant rain, kept us dry and yet breathed very well. Very happy with purchase.

I have this tent. Great tent!

Same. Literally subbed to this sub a couple days ago and this popped up. Bought it a couple hours ago. Gonna introduce my kiddo to camping using this. For 30 bucks after the rebate, it can't be bad enough to not be worth it (hopefully)

I picked that one up with my rebates and it's a pretty decent tent honestly. Aluminum poles that even came with a patch kit for them! Packs down small enough for what it is as well. The Big Agnes Blacktail Hotel is a really nice tent as well that is made for bikepacking so the poles are shorter, I've also seen that one on sale pretty frequently.

I have had this tent for years now. I had paid $100. I have camped in FL,GA,AZ, and UT with it in snow, and it has held up great with rain too, for $30 it is a steal and miles better than a walmart tent.

I have zero business buying another tent but I just got it thanks to you! Can't wait to try it out.

That's the exact reason I got it. The big one is a pain to set up when my oldest isn't with us. This one is easy to do with my cubscout.

Haha! Ordered it two weeks ago! Put it up in the dining room. Seems legit! Digging all the pockets, one in each corner.

Maynard's has a great deal on a kymmit 3 person tent for 45.00. Other sites are selling it for 150. I just picked it up and oh my Lord this thing is awesome. It is perfect for Scouts and very durable.

I used mine for the same purpose this weekend too. Same weather and I stayed dry too.

I hope your young one enjoys it and i'm sure they will. I am going to pick up the tent today after work and plan to use it for the same reason. I've done a few camp outs in the back yard with my older son that went smoothly. But he had to miss the scouting camp trips last year unfortunately, so I want him to be good and experienced ahead of this year. Cheers!

I picked one up and may test it tomorrow night. I would greatly prefer to have two separate tents for 3 people when backpacking, but with kids, they are going to want to be in my tent. For $34, I can make a 75" wide floor and 7 pounds work since it is likely a one time a year event. Edit: I pitched it. Pros: I used all the guy out points and it feels pretty sturdy. I would trust this tent in any non-storm type wind gusts, and I'd feel OK in a small thunderstorm. The bug net feels like a heavier, sturdier fabric than most tents I've used. Not surprising given the weight. I didn't notice this was polyester when I bought it, which I would say is a pro as I prefer it over nylon and usually you pay extra for. Cons: the zippers are junk which is typical of a cheaper tent. The fly zipper gets caught and feels cheap and the inner gets hung up so bad you really need two hands to operate, which is pretty annoying. Maybe an unfair critique, but the footprint of this tent is HUGE (it's a 3 person tent, what did I expect?). It will be a struggle to pitch this in the wilderness. The biggest con for me is the rain fly almost feels too big for the tent. It takes a lot of finessing the stakes and positioning everything to keep it taut. I wouldn't really want to ride out an all-night rainstorm as all the loose fabric feels like it would well up water all over. The good news is the polyester should help it from getting waterlogged and help runoff. The floor is more like 72" wide, definitely not 75". I have this thing pitched as tight as I can get it and there is no way I could get it to 75". There appears to be some red streaking on the gray portions like the red color bled over, which is maybe why these are fire sale price. I don't really care what my tent looks like tbh. That's not an issue for me but thought I'd share. Overall, a GREAT value for a tent with aluminum poles. I'd feel much better in this than your average Ozark Trail or similar tent.

What do you mean? Is 86 inches not long enough? Or are you talking about standing up in a 3 person tent?

Didn't expect to be buying a tent tonight but here we are.

Just woke up from a night in it. Not much to add other than we managed to fit two tensor wide pads and a klymit static v wall to wall and it did ok. I was worried about condensation since we were pressing on the walls but it did fine in that regard (as far as I could tell; I didn't wake up wet and neither did the kids). The side walls being practically vertical helped a lot since we were packed in so tight.

I paid $100 for one of these a few years ago and would definitely pay $100 again. It's a great car camping tent and is easy enough for my kids to set it up on their own. I guess I need another one....you know, just in case.
