Wenzel Beartooth 14- by 10-Foot, 5 Person Pentadome Family Tent

Sturdy and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Beartooth 14-by-10-foot Pentadome tent offers plenty of center head room and a large sleeping area, making it ideal for a couple of campers with lots of gear or a family of five with a dog. The Beartooth is made of rugged, weather-resistant polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The welded polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, includes a rain shingle that creates a watershed effect, so rain doesn’t seep in through the seams. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including three Dutch D-style doors and three polyester mesh windows–all of which are aided by an updraft ventilation system that improves the overall airflow.

The Beartooth is also quick and easy to set up, with a five-way center hub with a ping-and-ring system, along with a lightweight, shock-corded fiberglass frame. And should you need a place to stash your wallet, keys, and iPod while sleeping, you can turn to the overhead gear loft. Other details include water-resistant thread, zippers, and webbing; a removable fly with hoop frames over the doors, and ABS plastic pegs.

Customer reviews for Wenzel Beartooth 14- by 10-Foot, 5 Person Pentadome Family Tent :

“I purchased this tent to take my two daughters on an all girl camping trip. My 10 year old and I set it up at dusk quite easily. The first set up, with reading the instructions, took about 15-20 minutes. Once we set it up following the instructions, the instructions were not necessary for future set ups. There is plenty of room inside for four adults, two air mattresses, and gear. I would only put five people in this tent if three of them are children.”

“For an inexpensive tent, it’s a fairly good value. One disappointment was that the 14′ x 10′ footprint dimension is more of a triangle than a rectangle. I’d like to see square footage used in the product descriptions. It’s best to set the tent up once before the trip to learn the sequence and the two lengths of poles. Overall, setup was easy. While you are doing the first setup, apply seam sealer – it’s needed. There is one poor design aspect to the tent. The vertical sections of the zippers are not protected by waterproof covers, and therefore leak. On the fist outing, we were hit with a downpour (2″ in a hour) and had some water in the tent. It only took one small towel to mop things up, but I went over the zipper material with an extra coat of seam sealer. We’l see if that helps in the next rain.”
