at campmor Summary:
I now have the timberline outfitter 4 with a vestibule, it has been through the worst weather you can throw at it. wind blown to god knows what mph.I looked outside to see my buddies in other tents outlined by the tent walls covering them, while the timberline took the worst wind and made out just fine . I can still hear the cracking of other tents fiberglass poles giving in to the winds fury. In rain ...next to northface ...its a must have for the room and rainless nights I have had. I will never buy another tent other than this...my last tent! Similar Products Used:
coleman, northface, msr , mountain hardware , and well ozark trails(ozark fails) and now TIMBERLINE OUTFITTER 4

at Campmor Summary:
I have used this tent for many years under the most extreme conditions imaginable, youth backpack trips! The organization I am associated with has several Timberlines, which receive heavy use all summer long. The poles get bent, the stuffsacks rips, the cord-shocks break...and yet, the tents live on…and on…and on. True, we have had to replace zippers (after several years), and repair punchers, but the tents have withstood severe punishment (kids are not always the most careful of creatures).
If I could make one change in the design, I’d extend the rain fly by 1 foot all the way around (which we have done. The extra weight is worth the added protection). I have survived: week-long monsoons, horrendous winds, hail stones the size of golf balls, and summer snowstorms, and I have the Timberline to thank (shelter-wise that is).
Dollar for dollar, the Timberline is hard to beat. Similar Products Used:

at Jumbo Sports Summary:
I first encountered one of these babies at a National Scout Jamboree back in the 80's, and it was love at first sight. Easy to set up and take down, roomy, and airy... A great all-purpose tent. I bought a 4 man a couple of years ago, waterproofed it myself, and have never had a problem with it. Yes, the zippers to get caught on the sides once and a while, but if you are careful it's not a problem. It's also a little heavy, but not too bad. I have owned two other tents (An Academy Broadway and a Eureka Guide Series) and used countless others, and I love the Timberline's indestructible aluminum poles most of all. Too many times have I heard the sickening crunch/snap of fiberglass during setup or takedown, not a problem anymore. I expect to have this tent for another 20 years at least. Similar Products Used:

Price Paid:
$140.00 Summary:
Our scout troop uses the 4 man standard tent exclusively. They are excellent tents for the money. The only real problem we experience with the tents are the zippers. They last only a year or so befor they wear out and have to be replaced. They also catch the material of the tent and tend to rip it. Although somewhat heavy for backpacking, divided between two scouts the weight is manageable and allows for spacious accomodations at the end of the day. Similar Products Used:
