REI Hobitat 4 Tent
REI Hobitat 4 Tent
The REI Hobitat 4 tent has become increasingly popular since it was launched. This 4 person, 2 season tent, has become synonymous with summer family camping. It is recommended for car camping and beach camping. This is extremely for a spacious four person tent and because of its unique design, the hobitat 4 tent has a pretty high ceiling. A 6 ft tall man can easily stand upright in this tent. It has one large door in the front and 3 large mesh windows on the side for ventilation. The mesh has had some complaints that it is not fine enough to keep all insects outs(no-see-ums in particular) , but REI claims that it has a good mesh
Also, the tent is completely waterproof. I tested this out at the Oregon coast last summer, and it worked great.
Assembly Of Tent:
At first the tent seems a little complex, but you will easily get the hang of it in a few minutes. But this tent does require 2 people to setup and can be setup even faster if more people pitch in. If you want to do your homework there is a good assembly video available for the Hobit 4 tent.
