The Tungsten’s two brow poles create an especially effective awning over the tent door, so very little water gets in when someone comes or goes. Despite having the smallest capacity of the tents we tested—42.5 square feet—the Mineral King 3 easily fits two people with a full-size mattress, or two sleeping pads, and gear. Two large vestibules add nearly 40 square feet combined—that is, 18.75 square feet on either side. To test the tents, we first opened them, splayed out their parts, and tried to put them together without consulting the instructions. We assembled and disassembled the tents on all of our testing sites multiple times. We tried the rain fly for each tent as well, one time rushing to get several of them up during an unexpected rainstorm at night.
With plenty of interior space, near-vertical walls, and a gigantic vestibule that could accommodate a golf cart, the Wawona feels more like a tiny home than a tent. The separate fly, which covers the upper half of the tent, uses a third, shorter “brow” pole to ozark trail canopy form protective peaks over the door and the back window. In our tests, an experienced camper took only about six minutes on the first try to set up the tent body alone and stake it out. Getting the fly placed and staked properly took about five more minutes.
Been through several severe storms while camping with no issues. Keeps sun and bugs at bay which was my main reason for buying it. The way the poles clip into hubs is a little hard to get apart. Got one of these out of a storage unit at auction. Without instructions, it took me about 30 minutes to put it together and get it erected, by myself.
That mesh also keeps the tent feeling airy and cool in hot climates. The Wireless 6’s drawbacks have mainly to do with material quality. These can be as strong, or even more so, than aluminum poles (especially cheap ones), but they’re always bulkier, heavier, and not as nice to handle. However, the Wireless 6’s poles were the best fiberglass ones we tested—they left no splinters, unlike those on the Camp Creek 6 or the Copper Canyon LX 6.
Their solution was for me to pay for replacements out of pocket. The product is garbage and the customer service is worse. Trailspace’s community of gear reviewers has field-tested and rated the top tents and shelters. We’ve had this piece of garbage for 2 years now and haven’t been able to use it since we purchased it.
I hate to say it but this thing is a piece of JUNK. I could not even get the top frame together with out it either bending the poles or coming apart. The screen tent came with missing and broken parts.
