Maxfield 2 Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

Set up is a little more difficult and time consuming than other tents I own.

Held up in serious rain storms x2 in national parks without a leak while other tents in adjacent campsites didn’t fare so well. Moderately difficult to assemble. I don’t know if it needs more directions or needs a more straightforward center pole system but was helpful to watch a video beforehand. After retiring my MSR system this was definitely a different level of setup. It’s reasonably lightweight- was good for our family but with 3 young kids we haven’t ventured into backpacking trips yet with them so used it for car camping. The footprint that we purchased separately was key. Overall, quite pleased.

Very light, easy to put up and spacious for 4p

Took this tent for a few trips that were a couple days each. Super light for how many people you can fit in it. Very easy to set up and tear down. The way it sits in the bag is great. We did experience some condensation on the inside with the vents open. But we did have four people inside the fly was zipped up and it was not very windy out. Overall highly recommend for hiking trips where light weight and a multiple person tent is needed.

Only complaints would be I wish it was a free standing tent and that it came with a footprint. Other than that, it was a quick setup and take down. Roomier than I had expected for a 2 person. Overall a good quality tent.

Great backpacking tent

Used it for the first time for a 3 night backcountry trip where I was over 5 miles in and hauling a 50lb pack. Easy setup once you practice a couple times. It’s not quite standard with the alignment of the poles and isn’t symmetrical (by design) but it makes sense once it is setup. I like size and weight for what it is.

Great tent - wish it came with more stakes and footprint

The tent sets up and tears down easily. It’s roomy for one person and cozy for two, and it packs down pretty small and light. My only wish is that it came with the additional stakes needed to further stretch out the rain fly. This would add some rain protection AND ventilation having space between he tent and the fly. I also wish it came with the footprint, which, like the stakes, you have to buy separately.

Great Price and weight

The tent was the best value weight tent I could find. It performed well at 12,500 feet. Once you set it up once, it is easy to use. The roll up bag is makes it easy to take down and pack. The fly cords are great design. The fly covers the tens 100 percent so no corners are showing. I will definitely try to use just the fly on a trip next summer. It had room for two adults and packs, the vestibule was great extra space.

Easy & quick setup - Single backpacker 6'3.

Used on Maroon Bell Pass backpacking trip. Was lightweight, spacious, and easy to setup / teardown.

Great tent for Backpacking.
