Tentsile CONNECT 2-Person Tree Tent – Two Person Tree House Tent Hammock - Durable, fully-portable, and completely insect-proof - removable rainfly, heavy duty ratchets and straps included

This is a fun tent but the EARLY rain fly design is the WORST. It does very little to stand up to the elements - water seeped toward the center (where we were sleeping) with light rainfall. We returned the first one because the rain fly was too pitiful for camping during sea kayaking trips in Alaska. Additionally, the stitching in the tent itself looked like some nutter couldn't get the seam the first time around - tried twice more - and still missed the mark. That is poor quality control.The newer/redesigned rain fly (~2017?) is supposedly better...but I have yet to find one. I just purchased this tent again a week ago (February 2018) and yet again it was shipped with the old rain fly design. We returned it immediately.

Very well designed high quality hammock. But the rain fly, while big enough, seems to be an poorly designed after thought. Works well for buttoning it up tight while leaving it. But if you are inside and need air, it is a hassle. They could have added a couple flexible poles to allow the rain fly to allow ventilation without having to add additional annoying strings to stake it to the ground. The rain fly always looks droopy like a cheap tent.

Best adult treehouse ive ever seen. Connect is plenty big for two & gear, great interior height & four doors that roll up are awsome. Center strap works for his / her sides. Rainfly took several days rain with no leaks. Kinda loose & floppy but sure does work. Setup is not exactly a snap, but certainly not terrible, even at night. Key is lining up pole intersections with anchor points straight thru line of sight. When its rjight zippers are smooth, and both sides feel the same when you lay down. Also: the longer the strap from tent to tree, the higher you must place it. All in all well thought out unit. Looks like some kind of spaceship rather than a tent. Total package is kinda heavy, but worth the haul. I have two herniated disks, and i sleep GREAT in this thing. Super ventilation if fly is staked out. I prefer to setup about 6 feet off ground so i can sit and hangout underneath. Some battery powered rope lighting really adds nightime eye candy. Ceiling gear loft is a must. Keep velcro off screen mesh, tears it up. Duffel bag & tent stakes, bungee cord, spare parts : lifelong piece of equipment here. Two thumbs to tenrsile. Only thing to top this tent would be a portable base for setup with no trees.

Bought one for my 20-something son for his birthday and he loves it! It backpacks OK (the tightening ratchets are a bit heavy), is easy to set up (once you've practiced a few times) but isn't very insulating. He and his buddy were fine in their sleep bags, but his Goldie was shivering. Had to have Indy sleep in his bag the first time and used a heat insulating blanket in the bottom corner and a doggie sweater the next time. In his opinion, at this price point, it isn't an amazing backpacking tent due to the overall weight, more for an addition to campground camping. But if you and your camping buddy are weight-lifting backpackers and can shoulder the bit extra weight, it is amazing to not be tied to finding flat ground to pitch your tent on.

I gave it a 2 because its an awesome idea, but needs improvement in my opinion. 1 the zippers didn't zip well after only one camping trip. You can see gaps in the pics.2nd we used in the rain. Tent stayed bone dry on the inside. But the straps that hold the tent stretched some why being wet so it started sagging enough to cause you to slide inside the tent. This thing really needs to be cranked right to be comfortable. If rain hits forget it.Second, I know it never said this was a backpacking tent. But It could be if they just figured a way to get the weight down. It just weighs so much.Over all, for 450.00 I should have felt like I was sleeping on a perfect cloud and it just didn't feel that way.Oh, and set up and tear down is not as easy as videos say. It's a job!

Function vs fashion... 🤔. First off the tent is “cool” and very expensive.. unfortunately the main attraction of the getting this tent of course is being able to hang it in the trees.. however the tent is only as good as it’s surrounding trees, if the geometry of the trees does not perfectly align then a sag to one side of the tent is created. I was going to sleep in the tent with my girlfriend but after seeing how we would up stuffed to one side of the tent I decided my buddy could sleep in it instead. He was stoked and said he slept well in it. If the tent was more cost effective I would have given a solid 4 perhaps 5 stars.

This thing is awesome!! Great night sleep, super cozy and it wasn't as bad as I thought to set up. It did take a while to find the right trees, and to make sure the tent was positioned correctly for all three sides to be taught, but we got it done. I was a bit confused about how the ladder works on the Connect, and luckily we had a picnic table below one side, so that made it easy.Loved sleeping up high, and we had no need for the rain fly, just fell asleep looking up at the stars.

I was a little unsure at first how this would work as a suspended tent for 2 full sized adults (roughly 450lbs). But, I have to say the tent performed excellent! The biggest challenge was finding the right set of trees with enough space to create the necessary tension, and then to balance the tension so that one side didn't go lower than the other. But once we figured that out, we were able to ratchet enough tension to keep us aloft all night. I was especially impressed by the design with a center spine. This created a separator that allowed each person to have their own hammock-like sleeping section without causing each to roll onto each other throughout the night (which, honestly was my biggest concern with a 2-person hammock design).Anyways, I highly recommend this product it is solid.

Absolutely amazing product. Would highly recommend this to anyone who loves to camp. Comfy and being off the floor makes it so much warmer ( as I live in the UK)

Boyfriend loved it! Got to try it out and was -24 and kept him and his buddy warm! If you or the person you’re buying for loves camping, hammocks, or cool things to chill out in this is great!!!!!
