Gazelle Tents T3X Hub Tent

I used this tent one time, on a week long solo work/camping trip. I have a bad shoulder, and it was easy for me to set up. The rainfly is also very simple to attach, and is very effective at helping keep the tent dry. It rained steadily the first night I stayed in the tent, and the tent did not leak. The tent has many storage pockets, which are very convenient. The zippers are sturdy and work well. There are 4 D rings on the ceiling of the tent, which are for hanging a ceiling storage net, but I used them for hanging my lights. I opened the Velcro that attaches the floor to the tent a few inches, and used the opening as a port to run an extension cord through, from which I ran my small electric heater, lights, and phone charger. The small heater kept me comfortably warm at 32 degrees F. I used a cot for sleeping, and used a small table, chair, and small heater in the floor space, comfortably. Recommend a cot, as underneath the cot makes a great storage area for a suitcase, backpack, and other gear. I used a tarp as a footprint under the tent to protect the floor, and another tarp inside the tent to protect the floor. Breaking down the tent and putting it back in the bag was very simple and easy. The tent seems to be sturdy, durable, and of very high quality. The only flaws in the system are the stakes, which are very flimsy and basically useless, unless you are camping on a sandy beach. Fortunately, I brought along sturdier tent stakes, and didn't use the stakes that came with the tent. All things considered, this tent seems near perfect for me so far. I camp often, usually in more primitive circumstances than my first use of the tent, and will update this review after several more uses.Update: After having used this tent for 5 more camping trips of 3 days or more, I absolutely love this tent.It's the perfect car camping tent for me. It has not leaked in the rain, has been stable in high winds, and everything is still in perfect working order. It kept me comfortable in 20 degree F weather when using a portable heater. All around the most well designed and practical tent I've ever seen, would give it 6 stars if I could.

This tent sets up in under one minute. That does not include time to set a base or tie downs. Those are the minor details you need to take time on to make sure the tent is secure. Take down is just as fast. Folds easy and packs away.As others have mentioned, the stakes are a joke. Plan on buying a better set at some point. I had one break on first use.I will say the tent is sturdy and the rainfly does its job. We had a storm come through the first week of May. One of the shade canopies collapsed due to water build up and it fell on the tent. We stayed in a camper that night. Next morning I found the collapsed tent and all the water from the canopy collected on the sunken rainfly. It held like a champ! I did find that the center of the mattress in the tent was damp. I can't complain because the rainfly was holding 10-15 gallons of water on top after the collapse. Had the tent not been close to the canopy this would never had happened.Overall a very sturdy tent and it will keep the water out. I also like that I can just about stand up in it. The number of windows and doors allows plenty of airflow too.

It amazed me how easy it was to set this tent up. Even though I watched countless review videos on youtube, I was still shocked. I only had a few gripes with it, otherwise I'm excited to be using this as my regular tent from now on for camping trips, overlanding trips, road trips, EVERYthing.Pros: super easy setup. Feels very sturdy. Great YK zippers. Nice thick flooring material that so far has not allowing moisture to seep through from the ground (especially when combined with the optional footprint)Cons: the entry point is as annoying as it looks due to its odd shape. I did feel moisture seep through the walls of the tent which are not made of a material as thick as the flooring (but still, wasn't terrible). Not overly insulated, but then again, I don't think that's a main goal for the tent. Even at 5'7", I found the height inside to be a tad bit inadequate.Overall, I'm very satisfied, and like I said, can't wait to put it to further use.

This is generally a good tent. It is super easy to set up and take down, though it is a bit awkward for 1 (small) person to carry and put it in the bag. I love that I can stand up inside. It held up nicely during a windy/rainy night. I have the 3 man. It is good for 1 person camping with lots of room for gear, or 2 people if you like to sleep close.A few things I don't like - 1) there is a small hole where the pull cord goes through the ceiling. I've seen all sorts of creepy crawly things on my tent, and up near the hole. I blocked it up with some foam and velcro, but without that I would be really worried about things crawling in. 2) The gazelle logo in the ceiling reminds me of giant spiders. 3) Like lots of people mention, the doors are weird. You have to turn sideways and it's a big step to get in/out. The locations are weird too. Normally you might sleep 2 people with one on each side of the tent. However with these door locations being in the corners, you can't really do that.I am generally happy with this tent, but might also look for something else with an easier entrance, or one I can share with a friend but not have to sleep super close to each other.

The media could not be loaded. Fastest and easiest tent to set up and take down. Spent past 5 trips in it and we fit two cots no problem. Plenty of storage pockets and ventilation windows. I'm 6' tall and had to hunch a little to stand. Included bag has plenty of room for the tent to fit inside. Been caught in the rain a couple times with this tent and it does a pretty good job of keeping water out. There are a few holes you can find where the stitching is that could leak but the tarp on the roof covers most of them. Overall the perfect tent for short or long camping trips.
