Great Tent, Great Week

Review Date: May 25, 2006

Reviewer: MI Campers, Michigan

Just got back froma week of camping in the UP of Michigan, still a little cold at night, but overall the weather was awesome.

I agree with the previous reviewer, this really is a great tent. You can tell that a lot of quality and detail are built into this tent. We had two nights of pretty steady rain, and not a single drop got inside the tent. This thing is huge, and when we put the room divider in place it seemed even larger. Very cool. One thing that we really liked - the stuff bag was huge! and so easy to put the tent back into. Dont know why but thats always been a pet peeve of mine. I am gonna buy the floor saver, I think it will help protect the tent floor a little more.

I dont ordinarily write reviews on the net, but I was moved to write about this. It was a real attention getter in the camp area we were in. I could have sold 5 of them, especially to the people whos tents leaked. Few things I buy nowadays impress me like this tent did.

Excellent tent for 5 person family

We purchased the Promontory after quite a bit of research. I look for quality, a good warranty (this tent has a limited lifetime warranty)and if possible, great customer service. Paha Que measures up in all cases. When researching, I checked out several sites, read e-pinions, talked to people (boy scout trainers at a camping training I attended...note: this is definately a family camping tent, not a tent for backpacking with the scouts) and then called manufacturers to ask them to compare their product to this one. When I called Paha Que I was very pleased with their customer service... down-to-earth, completely comfortable with my comparative questions about quality and very helpful with what product would best suit our family. They were able to give me specifics about the qualities and features of their tents so that I could make comparisons with other well-known companies and know that I was purchasing the better quality tent.

My non-camping-oriented sister and I put the tent up together in less than 15 minutes (probably closer to 10 minutes) including the rain fly and staking it out. I suspect it would take even less time now. Paha Que recommends two people to put it up, and I would agree. Everything about the tent is well thought out and makes sense, but the size of the tent, and therefore the poles, is unwieldly with one only person putting it up. I watched the video of putting the tent up on Paha Que's home website. It really is that easy.

As far as the parts to the tent...there are very few. They have kept this very simple! There are two long poles that go across the top and four side poles that hook the top poles into the grommet on the base of the tent. Other than two more poles to hold up the optional rain fly/canopy, that is it! The poles are lightweight aluminum and corded. There is no figuring out what goes where or with what....part of the reason it takes so little time to errect. Bonus, the tent actually fits back into the bag with out folding gymnastics to try to make it fit.

It did rain while we were camping, albeit a gentle rain. No moisture inside.

We liked the HUGE window/doors for ventilation. There are three doors so that if you install the room seperator the occupants have their own doors. We kept it as one room, however, and were able to fit two queen-size air mattresses inside and a dog bed (we thought it would keep her in one spot and her toe nails out of the floor). We could probably fit another single air mattress inside. As far as gear, we travel with one duffel for each of the 5 family members and then a couple of others for extra stuff. I used the back of the mini-van as a "duffle closet" but there is some room for duffles in the tent...I just didn't want the clutter in the tent. Without the air mattresses there is loads of room for gear.

All in all, we are very satisfied.

I purchased the Paha Que Promontory for my first camping trip ever...I know a newbie and to be honest I was not looking forward to the trip. But, I cannot say enough positive things about this tent! Without this tent my trip would have been miserable. The two rooms were large enough for me, my husband, and another couple to share and not step all over eachother. The quality was outstanding, despite the windy weather we endured, the tent held up perfectly! I also was so impressed by how easy it was to set up. I highly recommend this tent for first-timers such as myself...or for anyone for that matter! ENJOY!

Great all around tent for camping

Glad I decided to go all the way and get a good tent. My dad told me Pahaque has the best quality and that I shouldn't waste money on something from Costco. I got the Promontory model and the extra floor. Three of us were able to use it as our base camp tent for a 6 day camping trip. There's plenty of room for us and our stuff, and I know it will hold up with the weather changes. Great tent!

High Quality...Great Price

Review Date: January 17, 2007

Reviewer: D. Lindsay,

I purchased this tent around Christmas as I could not pass up this high quality tent for the price. I live in Iowa and I am unable to set the tent up this time of year, however, I did take the tent out of the bag and inspect it. I have owned 3 or 4 tents in the past, and all of them have been lower priced tents such as Coleman, and this tent is by far the highest quality in terms of materials and workmanship. The tent arrived in perfect and new condition. I cannot comment on the storm worthiness of this tent yet, but I can see that it is very well designed and constructed. I also called Paha Que to ask about their tents and they are very friendly and helpful.
