Gazelle TentsT4 Hub Tent, Easy 90 Second Set-Up, Waterproof, UV Resistant, Removable Floor, Ample Storage Options, 4-Person, Sunset Orange, 78" x 94" x 94"

Love the tent and highly recommend. So simple to setup and take down. Quality is top notch and seems like it will last me for a long time. Love how many windows it has and the two doors is a great add on as well.

You have to judge a product on what it claims it'll do, not what you want it to do. So it's not really fair to knock this tent for not being lightweight - it's not intended as a lightweight tent and gazelle never claim as much.Let's, then, get the basics out of the way: This is a 3-season, fairly heavy (35 pounds-ish?), and not small (maybe 66" or so long), tent. It's not suitable for backpacking, not suitable for winter or heavy weather camping, or similar use cases.What you get in return is a tent that is astonishingly easy to set up. I don't trust gimmicks, and "easy to set up" usually means some combination of "if you're triple-jointed, can remember complex instructions, etc." In this case, however, it is genuinely easy to set up. Take the tent out of the bag, spread the poles out, and pull a few little knobs, and you're done. It's about a 3-5 minute process. If you want to stake it down or put the rain fly on, count on another 5 minutes for each of those (the stakes are fine, but in the southwest, you're going to need to find a rock, and you'll potentially be hitting rocks).The height is perfect for anyone who's 6 feet. Enough room to move around and get dressed and what not. There are a few accessory pockets and the like strewn about, which is nice. And unlike some other 4-person tents (where you'd better hope you're all very close friends), there's enough room for 4 people and gear without people stepping on each other.I do have two complaints. I'm still giving it 5 stars, because these aren't major issues. But they are still aggravating.1) The doors. Not sure why an otherwise well-designed product landed on this, but they're more awkward than one would expect. Expect to need to duck, and you can't fit something like a queen air mattress in there while inflated. So it goes, though.2) No sealed ports. Would be nice to be able to run a grommet + seal for something like a power cable or the like into this.Those are minor quibbles. I've spent a few nights in this, set it up a few times, and plan on using it in cases where I'm car camping.

This is my initial impressions of the Gazelle T4 Hub after one use.Pros:Goes up super easy. Even on my first attempt at setup, I would guess that I had it fully deployed in less than 5 minutes. I could easily see that time getting down below three minutes with some practice.Coming from a 4-person Coleman tent, it's so nice being able to fully stand up in the T4.Construction is beefy compared to a regular nylon tent (there is a penalty for this).Tons of options for ventilation. I used a combination of window openings to get a good flow of air through the tent.The storage bag isn't an afterthought, it's large enough for the tent and the rainfly. Super heavy construction, heavy duty zippers.Cons:As tents go, it's heavy. I've heard estimates of 35lbs and I'd say that's pretty close. Again, this isn't your typical nylon tent (see above). I car camp, and I'm typically never more than a few feet from the tent pad so not a huge deal for me.Packed up, it's pretty long. I think the bag is like 68" long. It will wedge into the back seat of my GMC Sierra (in the event it's raining on the way to the campground) but if you have a smaller vehicle, you may want to consider how to transport it.The D-shaped doors. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but getting in and out of the doors is a little awkward.Overall, I'm super pleased with the tent and I'm looking forward to the next time I get to use it.

There are small imperfections in the stitching, which resulted in small holes near some of the hub points. For this reason, I give it 4 instead of 5 stars.However, the tiny holes have not affected the tent's function. The tent did not leak during a brief shower in the Sierras.It is warm when the temperature drops outside. It can also cool down when ventilated by adjusting the windows.The tent fabric is sturdy, as are the zippers. There are plenty of features inside that have practical purposes for gear and storage.The T4 is very spacious, accommodating adults with gear and provides standing room.The net fabric works well keeping insects out. Yet, the fabric is breathable allowing for a welcomed breeze to fill the tent.The rain-fly fits securely when fastened. There are reinforcement points sewed along the pivot points. It is easy to place on top and easy to remove.Somewhat heavy for a small frame person, however manageable to maneuver. The length is above average, meaning it is about 5ft. when collapsed. The included carry bag has ample room, sturdy fabric, and reinforced handles.Gazelle claims a 90-second setup, and they are correct.Looking forward to many seasons in our T4.
