Vista 1-Person Quick Tent

Sets up quick. On first use the elastic loop and T at one of the corners that holds tent to cot frame came unsecured from the tent corner. Apparently not sewn into the corner seam well. Rainfly not made to work if tent is mounted to cot. Not explained in product description when i bought it last year.

I camp just about every weekend. Always Late after work is when I'm out looking for a camping spot. Knowing that I can set this tent up and down within minutes gives me a sense of relief always knowing I will have a comfortable shelter as I continue my travels.

Threw the desert heat and mountain rain this tent has made it with me, without any problems.

Highly recommend

The vista 1 quick tent seems like a real lift saver when time or visibility during set up is limited! I haven't used it yet but I'll be putting it through its paces at the National Training Center at Ft Irwin in May. Right off the bat, I'm giving this 4 stars because the rain fly wasn't as advertised. The rain fly that comes with it doesn't have the vent like in the pictures. Set up is a breeze and takes less than 2 minutes once you know what you're doing. As far as size goes, I'm almost 6'2' and can fit comfortably as long as I tuck my knees up a little, but that's how I usually sleep anyways. Honestly, for the price, you really can't go wrong. The only thing I'd like to see is a vestibule type rain fly and maybe a second opening on the opposite side of the tent.

Extremely easy to set up! I bring it with me everywhere.

I'm 5"11 and 240 so not small.

Me, my boots, and my backpack all fit comfortably inside the tent.

Setup is easy as "make sure 2 rods are extended, pull a string. Push a lever. Done."

Takedown? Pull lever. Gently press down. Folds easy and fits easly in the bag.

Packed its 27 inches long in the bag and

The standered rainfly is just short enough to let water in, so I like many others opted to just buy the elite rainfly. Thats why its not getting 5 stars.

Customer service was exceptional. I messed up my order and it took them less than 12 hours to fix it.

Good product. Good Customer service.

The back story of my experience with TETON sports is the resolution of an on-line ordering issue involving a discount code.

FIRST AND FOREMOST - ALEXANDRA - you are a queen. YOU ROCK!!!

I'm including my last correspondence with customer service here for everyone to read. Emphasis on SERVICE!

I don't have to say any more. Except TETON will the FIRST place I go when looking for adventure gear.

'Thank you so much for following up so diligently on this for me. You have been most responsive and I truly appreciate that. Follow up is probably the most important aspect in the success of any business. My career field, before I retired 2 years ago, was entrepreneurial and small business development. Clearly, TETON sports is very concerned about its customers and its business reputation as well as the quality of its products.'

WELL DONE!

The Vista 1, cot and sleeping pad is the perfect set-up. I purchased this gear in late Sept for a trip and for solo camping it is a no-brainer. Set up in the dark with just a headlamp takes maybe 5 mins(ok I did set up at home once first). The temp was 45 degs F and I kept the side open. This system isn't as sexy as an RTT but its quick and you can move it around and easy to level, an RTT your rig has to be level. I also used the cot and pad in my ARB awning and deluxe room on the same trip when I had time to set things up. It was great to have options. So to clear I have slept in dirt holes in the ground (retired USN SeaBee), car camped, hammocks, truck campers, and a Class A motorhome each of theses had Pros and Cons but if you are looking for a good night sleep after a long day and you want to be off the ground. I look forward to many more nights in this set-up.
