 Perfect for the family April 19, 2008
We have used this tent on two camping trips. First, I'll say that it was a little cumbersome to put up the first time. After that - it was not hard at all. My wife and I can now get the tent up in about 15 min. We had a few nights of rain while using the tent - and not a single drip of water - and no, we did not use any type of sealer. It is a little heavy - but nothing a family can not manage.
Great tent... used many times April 9, 2008
I purchased the Cougar Flats tent after reading many reviews and I am very pleased to say the least. I love the two room cabin feature, and let me emphasize CABIN. It accommodates two families and secures privacy. It is designed for warmer climates with it's ventilation at it's maximum throughout the entire tent. I searched far and wide for a tent that could allow my 6'4" husband to be able to stand up in. I am a massage therapist and found myself working on him after our camping weekends with the height challenged tents that we have owned in the past. I am happy to say, that not only can he stand in the middle... but he can walk throughout the entire tent with head clearance.
As for the waterproof end of it, it has survived torrential downpours with slight drip around window... we realized that we had the rainfly on wrong and we had not applied the sealer/weatherproofing yet. It also made it through very strong winds, unlike another tent that I had purchased for my sister and we were on the beach in front of theirs. Our tent is known as the tent-o-minium every where we go. Love this tent! Would highly recommend purchasing this tent.
Love the tent, it is easy to set up! April 9, 2008
Very good product, it has alot of windows so its airy. The directions were not that easy to understand. But once we figured it out, it was fast to put up.

We bought this last summer for our first family (3 little boys) camping trip. It was 100 degrees that weekend, so we minimized our time in the tent. However, this thing is huge! It has ample headroom. The fully-separated rooms are very handy for coping with little kids. My favorite feature is all of the gigantic windows. It almost seems like the whole thing can become a mesh tent.
Also, the footprint for this seemed a little less obscene than some of the other family-sized tents. It's super heavy, so it's not for backpackers! However, the case has rollers, so it's easy to get from car to site. Like any tent, it's a bit tricky to get back in the bag, but the bag also has an "expanding" zippered section that can increase the bag size for less-adept packers.
The Condo February 24, 2008

After careful review of different tents of similar sizes, I settled on the Cougar Flats and am impressed by it's roominess. This tent has been nicknamed "the condo" and the moniker isn't too far off.
The first time I set the tent up, I set it up alone and it took about 45 minutes to an hour. I'm sure the next time will take less than that, and I'll probably have a friend helping.
After setting up the tent, I weather proofed it - it took two cans, then sealed the seams. I slept in the tent that night and it was very comfortable and I look forward to using it during my next camping trip.
I highly recommend double or tripling the seam sealer around the zippers for the doors to the outside of the tent. This was the only area where water was able to get in (this, after being set up for three weeks, and two straight days of a deluge). All in all, I sopped up, maybe, a cup and a half of accumulated water.
This tent is everything I expected and look forward to it being my last tent.
