Summary: I bought this tent used. I was not sure about it but I got home and set it up. That night I took it to a State Park. After about 2 miles in the sky opened up with rain just as I barely had enough time to get the rainfly on it. I spent all that night in a nast downpour and the tent held up. Not a single drop of water got in. I am more than happy with this tent. I also recently purchased the REI Taj 3, 3 person tent used on the internet and it is absolutely bomb proof. Even better that the North Face tent I got new and returned the day after I got the Taj 3. The best thing I like about the REI Clipper and Taj 3 is the RipStop material it is made from. Extremely durable without compromising weight. I would recomend anyone who comes accross the Clipper used, get it.
Customer Service: REI is the best I have ever delat with and extremely knowledgeable employees. I even go there for the free classes they offer.

Summary: I personally didnt like this tent .It lacks the qualitys of a great tent. The main problem to me was the space, it didnt
have the room for me and my friend. I would suggest the Kelty WindFoil Ultralight instead.
Customer Service: I have needed new poles and tent stakes.

Summary: A great tent, especially considering I only paid 50 bucks for it (with the footprint) at an REI yard sale.
Customer Service: Some people think REI means Return Everything Immediately...therefore they sell their returns extremely cheap to guys like me who are in the right place at the right time.

Summary: This tent is entirely worth the money I paid for it. ($165) If you can pick it up for around $125 do not pass it up. This is my go-to tent. It balances lightweight materials with a durability and strength that is unmatched among any other tents in the price range, TNF, MARMOT, MSR, EUREKA and MOUNTAIN HARDWARE. I thru-hiked the Muir trail last year and this is the tent I chose. I never regreted it. This sucker held up in rain, wind and cold. You name it, the Clipper handled it. This tent has lasted through so much of the elements. I was also on Isle Royale National Park, and this tent shed water like you would not believe. We were held up for over 2 days in a heavy rain during a mid summer Lake Superior T-storm. Nothing was wet. You can easily fit two full size men in this tent. If you are a couple, this tent will feel huge. Nice plus is the attention to detail (gear loft, extra snaps and covers, handy zipper pulls, screen star viewing window etc)
Customer Service: REI is outstanding. I only buy from places who stand behind their products and offer a good return policy.
