I’ve had my flex bow tent for 8 years now. This is honestly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I do historical reenactment and often go to the summer camping events (historically accurate tent not required). I loved canvas for its breathability compared to the standard polyester/nylon type material used in most camping tents. I had originally thought of getting a historically accurate tent but realized that I wouldn’t be able to set them up by myself due to the nature of my physical disability.
Then I saw someone who had a Kodiak tent and talked their ear off with questions while they responded with equal enthusiasm about how much they loved their tent. They also showed me how easy tear down was. So when I got home I researched and read reviews and watched any video I could find. I decided that the 10x10 would be best for me and my service dog and saved up to get it.
And now to the main reason I’m writing this review. This last camping trip had three big thunderstorms one of which collapsed many other pop up tents around camp. My tent was rock solid as always and became the haven for me, my service dog, and 3 other people while we waited for the storm to pass so we could go back out and fix the tents. This makes the 10th storm my tent has gone through and each time it has held up like a champ.
In my opinion this tent is 100% worth every penny. It has kept me safe and dry for 8 years (used about 5 times a year) and it still is like new. This is truly the best tent out there.
