Has anyone ever used a North Gear Scott Waterproof 3 Man Tent?

Alive and

There are no reviews anywhere that I can find and I would like to know if anyone has used it, especially in the rain, before I buy it. It says waterproof but really, there's nothing like personal experience to really tell you how waterproof it is. Any reviews would be much appreciated :)

Answer
That is a fairly new product so no reviews, Its a price beater so assuming it then is a low end quality product. The tent is heavy so it is not meant for back packing. Its is on the small side for a three man so two really would be the max and ventilation looks poor. With so many better quality tents even in the same price range the risk to being a satisfied customer is entirely up to you.

here are a couple of articles on how to choose a better tent

What is the best brand of tent?

I have a family of 5; 3 kids under 5. One is still in a crib so I need room to put a playpen in it. I am not looking for a good deal or what is the cheapest. Nor am I looking for the most expensive. I want someone who really knows what they are talking about to tell me what brand to look at and why they are superior.

I love North Face products and I know the names Coleman, Kelty, Eureka to name a few but I know that Coleman makes great lanterns and cook stoves as North Face makes good apparel but do they make just as good tents? Please help me!!

Don't worry about brand loyalty. All those make really great products and several have decent warranties.

This one has really good reviews. http://astore.amazon.com/camptents-20/detail/B000EQAUAA/105-0745032-2409218
