This tent measures roughly 100-by-86 inches and has a whopping 60 square feet of floor space with a gigantic 78-inch peak height, so fitting several campers and standing up won't be an issue. It's made from lightweight but strong 75-denier fabric with twice-as-strong floor fabric and has a full mesh ceiling to maximize the view. It features a single D-shaped door with an awning and a twin-stake vestibule that creates more living space and shelter for gear, and it even has multiple pockets on the inside for phones, chargers, and daily essentials. It's also rain-ready, with a cap-style fly cover and a DWR coating.
There's a lot that shoppers love about this tent, but many reviews mention the massive amount of space inside. "Plenty of standing room," a shopper said. "I purchased this tent for a 7-day trip. The tent held up great…Very roomy, and I really like the vertical-standing walls. You will need a second person to put it together, but other than that, I'm very happy with this tent." Another shopper agreed, saying, "I chose this tent for the height and that aspect is great; I loved being able to stand up and stretch out."
Others commended the tent for its durability and performance. "This tent exceeded my expectations," a shopper said. "I had this tent in the rainforest in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains a lot, in winter, and had no leak issues whatsoever. Stayed super dry and warm…This tent is very durable, roomy, and keeps you dry—nothing bad to say about it."
If you're looking to get in some quality camp time this summer, REI Co-op's Skyward 4 should be your first choice, especially now that it's 50% off. This line of tents is selling fast, and once they're gone that means they're gone for good, so don't wait to get yours.
