It doesn’t feel like they just slapped some room dividers into the tent. The Kenda tires would’ve been fun to ride on slightly more consistent and hard-packed gravel roads. However, with nearly 300 pounds of total weight on roads populated by jagged rocks, downhill runs meant bottoming out the tires, which meant pinch flats. Yeti has clearly set themselves apart as the biggest player in the cooler space.
From a positive perspective, the lightweight design increases portability which is certainly important in carrying the tent to its intended location. From a negative perspective, the weight is indicative of a lack of high quality material and components used throughout the shelter. The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent.
The canopy fabric is made with a heavy-duty 150D polyester for reliable shade and water protection. This also comes with a wheeled bag for convenient storage and transport between uses. Place Ozark Trail 20′ x 10′ Straight Leg Instant Canopy in your backyard or another outdoor venue and make the most out of your time outdoors. Certain tent brands make easy setup a priority, and Ozark Trail is definitely one of them.
The tent is water resistant and offers 50+ UPF protection with 64 square feet of shade. The main room has a divider down the middle, and then there’s the pop-out room on the backside. This pop-out room is ozark trail backpack great to use as a kid’s play area, a gear storage “garage,” or just an adults-only sleeping room. A center height of 78 inches makes this a great choice for taller people, as any good cabin tent should.
The coolers in competition were the Ozark Trail 45QT Rolling Thermocooler, The Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler, and the Yeti Tundra Haul. I chose these coolers because they were the closest among the brands when it came to internal storage. In a sheer stroke of luck for this test, we are having a very aggressive heatwave in Southeast Michigan with temperatures around the 90’s during the day and staying in the 70’s overnight. I’m using my North facing deck as the staging area which receives direct sunlight at almost all hours of the day. I also placed a small weather system on the deck rail to help get a sense of how hot surface temperatures are in the area. On one of the hottest days, the remote sensor reported temperatures exceeding 107 Degrees Fahrenheit while the air temp was in the high 80’s.
You can get this cooler in three colors, Tan which is featured here, as well as graphite and white. The other two colors will have different rims and accents, so if you don’t love the orange you have options. I capped the grand adventure ride with 3 days of regular city commuting; the Explorer made for a relatively nimble ride about town. I could easily cruise up to 26 mph on flats and slight downhills. But going back to basics, I rigged them up with the oldest and most abused trunk bags and panniers I own.
Ozark Trail instant tents set up within seconds, and even the regular models won’t give you a headache. Our favorite for easy setup is the Ozark Trail 8-Person Instant Cabin Tent with LED Lighted Poles and Bluetooth Speaker. Like the 12 person tent, it also comes with a T-style door, so you can move camping gear and furniture without having to fangle it through a small, D-style door. Cabin-style straight wall tent designs provide more lateral space, sure, but a dome tent is better against the wind.
