"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."

"The footprint of the floor is a square for the T4 hub tent, so you should find the available space easy to work with, even with mattress. ... We have the T4 plus, which is just two squares with a room divider. We use cots and there is room for 5 and the dogs."
"I also loved how tall it was, you can probably stand up straight even as a tall person. ... Standing up straight in a tent is a game changer"

"The screen room is great for extra gear you don’t want to leave out, or to just have a place to relax during a downpour."
"We use one room for sleeping, 2 adults and a kid. The other room for stuff, chairs if it’s bad weather, etc."
"not 4 sided. That way you can setup a table in the middle and still get around, or set up multiple tables on the walls with tons of room."

"When you put the rain cover on top it blocks all of the openings leaving very little air flow. ... When it is hot at night it’s pretty miserable in there. ... The only thing you can unzip is the front door to the porch and if it rains that night congrats you are hot AND wet."

"it does condensate a lot with 2 people if it's closed up. ... If the vestibules aren't open (say due to rain) my quilt gets wet."
"My Kelty 2p is barely big enough for 2 people. My partner and I were pressing up against the edges of the tent, causing the tent to push up against the rain fly and transfer all the condensation inside ☹️."
"My beef with nearly all nylon tents is how they collect condensation. ... I’ve had 5 people and 2 dogs in the Gazelle. All of that breathing made the inside pretty wet."

"traveling with it is painful. ... The pack size is huge and heavy."
"the packed size, it's fkn big ... You really need to be sure you can fit it in your car or be prepared to strap it to the top. ... When I had a Jeep, it BARELY fit! Bottom right corner. When I shut the tailgate, it would nudge it and that was having to move the passenger seat up as far as I could and still be able to sit in the seat."
"It's about the size of 12 by 12 popup shelter folded up."

"Constantly leaks"
"I had a Coleman instant tent for 13 years with no leaks. One trip to the same campground with the T4, leak, and bugs. It made me sad. ... Yep, it leaked for me the first time I used it. Colorado mtn storms can be crazy, but short."
"also, it does not hold up well in down pours, water seeps in through the seems"

anparks 1.0Gazelle tents are easy to set up and are indestructible. I (64M) have had a T4 Plus for years
Blabbyharpy 1.0I have a Gazelle T4 Plus. It’s the best tent I’ve ever had.
I have a Gazelle T4 plus. It’s amazing. A two room pop up tent. They also make other sizes. Sets up in minutes. And you can stand up in it, great for dogs and wives.
BuffaloOk8581 1.0We have the T4+, too-2 adults, and 2 dogs. It's heavy and huge but so easy to set up and incredibly comfortable for us. We also like that the plus part means we have a space to hang out in if it rains and don't need to worry about a tarp all the time. Some small things are annoying like the velcro at the entry, but I'm still very happy with my purchase.
chalupabatman643 1.0Gazelle T4 or Caddis Rapid 6 as a less expensive lighter-weight option. If you need something bigger I recommend a cabin tent, the Gazelle T4+ is enormous in its storage pouch and super heavy too.
The T4 may be tight for you if you have large dogs, or if you store gear in the tent and not the car. The build quality, vertical sidewalls and height are great tho.

FustangMastback 1.0I have a T4+ and love it. I’ve only used it a handful of times so far. I’ve been in it during a very windy thunderstorm and it held up remarkably. The screen room is great for extra gear you don’t want to leave out, or to just have a place to relax during a downpour.
grottomatic 1.0I have a T4 plus. I’ve taken mine to the outer banks (windy) about 5 times and it’s been rock solid, including last time when a cold front came through and we were getting 30mph gusts. I’ve camped in rain about 3 or 4 times otherwise. I do guy out the hubs but nothing special or time consuming and have never had a hub collapse. Rain fly has been tested and works well with no water intrusion in light to moderate rains/sprinkle. Have not had it in a thunderstorm. I think ventilation would be relatively poor if you had to close all of the vents for a heavy rain as the design relies on top ventilation due to design. I think wedging pool noodles at the top, underneath the rain fly over the top netting would help airflow. Haven’t had any quality related issues. It’s huge and heavy-but all hub tents are huge and the bag has a nice shoulder strap. Strongly recommend the overland edition for the stakes and tarp.
Loose_Mission_8559 1.0Yea, the plus has a much bigger rain fly, awsome tent.
Gazelle tents are great
mild_sauce_packet 1.0I've been using the T-4 Plus for the last 30 or so trips and have had zero issues with it. It's held up to 50 MPH winds and torrential rain. The doorways and bathtub style floor actually do help with bugs a bit since the entry's not \*on\* the ground. I think you'd have to be a pretty determined bug to get in through the velcro if you closed it up correctly. I'd bet your invader came in through the door or on your person. Anyways, best of luck.
It's pretty easy to reseal the floor if you take it out. There are little red tabs that help you line it up correctly.
Miserable-Ad-4656 1.0I have a Gazelle T4, T4+, and gazebo. Gazelle makes some of the highest quality products that can stop be found. The quality of material cannot really be found anywhere else on a retail tent. I have been in severe thunderstorms in the Outer Banks of NC and snow storms in Utah in the T4. The tent has always kept us safe, comfortable, and dry. I’ve owned the T4 for five years. If you want to buy something and keep it and have the room for the monster bag, you will always appreciate the Gazelle.

Love my gazelle gear. I have the T4 plus and the gazebo. Highly recommend. https://preview.redd.it/435mp8df88ge1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=647e98fa68220878af6fcc87227a384f3c784623
I have the T4 plus and have enjoyed it. The rain fly is much better. I gravitate to my White Duck canvas tent if I’m car camping though. Breathable and better suited for all seasons.
Honestly, not often these days. We aim for cold weather camping so we can use the stove. The Gazelle has become our loaner that we set up our friends and family with. My beef with nearly all nylon tents is how they collect condensation. I’ve had 5 people and 2 dogs in the Gazelle. All of that breathing made the inside pretty wet.
Gazelle T4 Plus is an instant pop up tent that is two rooms. I’ve had a family of 5 in it with 2 dogs just fine. It has a lot of thoughtful features. Sets up in under 2 minutes and folds up just about as fast. I also have a canvas bell tent that I use more often these days because I like winter camping. https://preview.redd.it/zhsi0wmbxlhe1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=39d80b8eb8cf6ed09d038240abb661dc4d9c8efc
