Cabelas XPG 4-season tent

[jonaddis84]

Anyone have any opinions/reviews on this tent series?  Looking at either the 2 or 4 person.  99% of the time it will only have 1 or 2 people in it, but is the 2 person roomy enough for 2 comfortably?  Durability?  Sounds like a very well built tent, but its my first so I wouldnt really know.

I don't have that model but from past experience:  If the tent says 2-people it means 1-comfortably.  If it says 4-people it means 2-comfortably. 

The only tent I have that is what is says is my one person bivy.  It will only hold one and a little gear.

jonaddis84,

I have the Cabelas XPG 4 season, 4 man tent. As for my review of it - I will say that I am quite happy with it overall. The most extreeme conditions I've used it in was on a remote hunting trip in Alaska on the shores of the Yukon river, in September. While the weather did not get stupid crazy by Alaska standards, I did experience rain alot, but not heavy. Mainly just light rain throughout the day and night Never had a drop of water get in. I wish I could speak of it's durability in high winds, but I can't, as I have never been in crazy winds with it. However, due to it's design and profile, I would not be afraid to take where horizonal rain/winds may come into play. Low profile and many many guy lines to secure it. If you are really in the market for a 4 season tent, this one offers alot of bang for the buck in my opinion.

I do not have any pics of it in while in Alaska. Forgot stupidly.

These were taken here in Wisconsin, in the summer, but show a better image than what you will find online at the Cabelas site


Note the feature of a true waterproof rainfly - almost comes to the ground.
