"Highly recommend the Gazelle T4, I've been using it for ~5 years now and it's holding up great."
"Durability - have had 0 issues. 2 years, quit a bit of camping in hot and cold (well, down to 30)."
"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."

"Rain - have had no leaks, even in day long torrential downpours."
"First year I owned it, I was at a sporting event and a massive storm rolled through. Tons of thunder, lightning, and torrential rain and came back to a bone dry tent at 1am. ... Even this year for that same even, lots of rain one day but tent stayed dry and the only water that was inside was from me going in and out."
"I've just came back from a rather rainy camp last week and was kept dry using my T4 footprint. ... A torrential storm rolled through and delayed the first game(they were both in the evening) and got back to my tent and midnight bone dry."

"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."
"those style of tents will have the highest headroom and usable space."

"I can tell you I just used a gazelle tent in Ottawa last week for six nights with tons of mosquitoes and biting horse flies and everything and not a single bug in my tent at all."
"Hahaha I have never experienced that. It’s a regular tent that is waterproof and rainproof, let alone bug proof."

"The biggest problem with it is that it’s huge when it’s broken down you basically need to put it on your roof rack."
"it is HUGE when folded down for storage transport ... You need to have a large SUV or a roof rack to transport this thing."
"it does not break down to be very small. ... I carry it on my roof rack on my crosstrek "

"Only issue I had was one night when we got over 2 inches of rain. The rain started to seep through the stitching at the hubs."
"First, in super heavy downpour (more than an inch per hour) it would soak through around the hubs and also where the mesh bags are sewn into the sides. ... The first time there was a dribble of water from the hub seams I had to sop up with an extra t-shirt. After seam seaming it was damp to the touch but not dripping."
"The silver exterior will wear and you'll soon have moisture ingress."

"You have to make sure to guy out the hubs in strong winds, and the more horizontal the guy line can be the better, or else wind can collapse the hub. I'm taking 15-20mph plus wind. Was in 30-40mph gusts and it held up, but I'd guyed out the hub the direction the wind was coming from with two guy lines, each as horizontal as I could get them, 45 degrees from each other."
"Another concern is high winds. I have used it in steady winds up to 25 mph with higher gusts, but I had to tie out the hubs with guy lines, using two lines per hub to give better holding power, and also I swapped out the stakes to more heavy duty all metal spikes which I bring a hammer to hammer into the ground."
"Also wind is an issue, I'm talking about 20+ mph winds - the hub will collapse in fairly easily if not guyed out. ... When I guy it out well, the tent hub hasn't collapsed in 30+ mph winds."

"But for a tent that caters to taller folks, the door sucks for taller folks... at 6'1" i'm always tripping getting in and out of it."
"My only gripe is that I will bust my butt on the triangle doors EVERY SINGLE TIME."
"The triangular doors takes some getting used to"
Gazelle T4 Tandem Hub tent. Durable and big enough for your needs and sets up in minutes. I have one and love it
r/camping • Tent for a family of 6 ->Agreed! Those tents are the best and easy set up and tear down!
r/camping • Tent for a family of 6 ->I love my Gazelle T4! 40F, solo camping, easy to set up and take down.
r/camping • Easy to setup tents ->I second the Gazelle. I have the two room model and love it. Only complaint is it's tough to put up in sustained winds. It tends to collapse on itself before it's staked in.
r/CampingGear • Are instant up tents a gimmick? ->Another +1 for Gazelle tents. I have a basic single-dome one, but for a family of four I'd get a dual-dome one.
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->We have a two Gazelle tents (one one-room and one two-room) and their gazebo. They are a breeze to set up and definitely not a gimmick!
r/CampingGear • Are instant up tents a gimmick? ->I have a T4, T4+, and gazebo. We love them. They are huge and heavy which is not ideal when it comes to packing up all three for a camping trip. But we do love the easy set up and take down. We have not really gotten rain when we camp. The one or two times, it has been completely dry (besides some condensation on the floor but that goes for any tent).
r/camping • Are Gazelle Tents worth it? ->I would suggest two tents then. We have a massive Gazelle tent and it is geared for 4-8 people but if I had to share it, I would only say four people comfortably with our stuff inside the tent too. It sounds like you have a pop up tent too? These will always be long and bulky because of what they are. Our old tent was very compact when packed up but was not a pop up and took longer to set up. My husband hates the size and weight of the Gazelle but it is the trade off of ease of setting up/breaking down that he gets for it. I think your idea to go bigger to fit more people inside a tent is not ideal if you are already worried about the size of your current tent.
r/camping • Tent suggestions! ->[https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-8-person-tents/products/t-hex-hub-tent-overland-edition-copy](https://gazelletents.com/collections/6-8-person-tents/products/t-hex-hub-tent-overland-edition-copy) Doesn't fit your budget. Easy to setup Quality and durability have never been an issue for me or people I know. I'm sure someone somewhere will be like "they are junk". Condensation control is going to depend on the weather as there is plenty of vents. Might be better off with 2 T4's from Gazelle.
r/CampingGear • Looking for a new tent in 2025 ->I'm only one season and 3 uses in but, so far my T4 has been great. Only real downside is it's bulk. It's long and heavy. But it's a castle of a tent.
r/camping • Are Gazelle Tents worth it? ->Gazelle T4, North Face Wawona or Big Agness Big House. Agree the T4 is a bear to.load and carry. We use our Wawona a ton once we learned how to set it up hahaha
r/camping • Best way to sit up in tent ->Check out gazelle tents. I have the T3x and the T8. Love both. The T8 is too much for 2 people IMO. I'd take a look at the T4. Not the T4 plus. A bit big, but super easy to put up and take down.
r/CampingGear • Recommendations for a car camping tent for two people that you can stand up in. $500 budget. ->My partner and I use a Gazelle T4 and I love it. It's not huge, but I wouldn't consider it small either. No porch either. Okay, it's not what you're looking for... I just needed to mention how much I love it for 2 people. A lot of room for gear (I keep a chair in ours) and standing room. Edit: ALSO, it takes like 90 seconds to set up (without staking), 3 minutes with staking, 8-10 minutes if you suspect heavy rain and want to guy out the rainfly (don't need to in light rain). There's a version that is double the length for a screened in porch area, but it's very bulky.
