Gazelle Tents™ T4 Hub Tent, Easy 90 Second Set-Up, Waterproof, UV Resistant, Removable Floor, Ample Storage Options, 4-Person

Great tent. Quick & easy to setup. Easy to take down. Solid construction. Materials are high quality. Tall height makes it easy to stand-up inside.

This is my initial impressions of the Gazelle T4 Hub after one use. Pros: Goes up super easy. Even on my first attempt at setup, I would guess that I had it fully deployed in less than 5 minutes. I could easily see that time getting down below three minutes with some practice. Coming from a 4-person Coleman tent, it's so nice being able to fully stand up in the T4. Construction is beefy compared to a regular nylon tent (there is a penalty for this). Tons of options for ventilation. I used a combination of window openings to get a good flow of air through the tent. The storage bag isn't an afterthought, it's large enough for the tent and the rainfly. Super heavy construction, heavy duty zippers. Cons: As tents go, it's heavy. I've heard estimates of 35lbs and I'd say that's pretty close. Again, this isn't your typical nylon tent (see above). I car camp, and I'm typically never more than a few feet from the tent pad so not a huge deal for me. Packed up, it's pretty long. I think the bag is like 68" long. It will wedge into the back seat of my GMC Sierra (in the event it's raining on the way to the campground) but if you have a smaller vehicle, you may want to consider how to transport it. The D-shaped doors. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but getting in and out of the doors is a little awkward. Overall, I'm super pleased with the tent and I'm looking forward to the next time I get to use it.

Great tent, lots of space for a queen size mattress then some. Very well constructed and goes up in minutes, very simple to deploy and better yet I was able to pack it back into its bag with no issues. It is heavy so this is not anything you would want to pack in; this is for setting up base camp close to where you would park.

You have to judge a product on what it claims it'll do, not what you want it to do. So it's not really fair to knock this tent for not being lightweight - it's not intended as a lightweight tent and gazelle never claim as much. Let's, then, get the basics out of the way: This is a 3-season, fairly heavy (35 pounds-ish?), and not small (maybe 66" or so long), tent. It's not suitable for backpacking, not suitable for winter or heavy weather camping, or similar use cases. What you get in return is a tent that is astonishingly easy to set up. I don't trust gimmicks, and "easy to set up" usually means some combination of "if you're triple-jointed, can remember complex instructions, etc." In this case, however, it is genuinely easy to set up. Take the tent out of the bag, spread the poles out, and pull a few little knobs, and you're done. It's about a 3-5 minute process. If you want to stake it down or put the rain fly on, count on another 5 minutes for each of those (the stakes are fine, but in the southwest, you're going to need to find a rock, and you'll potentially be hitting rocks). The height is perfect for anyone who's 6 feet. Enough room to move around and get dressed and what not. There are a few accessory pockets and the like strewn about, which is nice. And unlike some other 4-person tents (where you'd better hope you're all very close friends), there's enough room for 4 people and gear without people stepping on each other. I do have two complaints. I'm still giving it 5 stars, because these aren't major issues. But they are still aggravating. 1) The doors. Not sure why an otherwise well-designed product landed on this, but they're more awkward than one would expect. Expect to need to duck, and you can't fit something like a queen air mattress in there while inflated. So it goes, though. 2) No sealed ports. Would be nice to be able to run a grommet + seal for something like a power cable or the like into this. Those are minor quibbles. I've spent a few nights in this, set it up a few times, and plan on using it in cases where I'm car camping.

I’ve had this tent for over a year. Used it across 4 seasons. It excels in winter conditions when it won’t rain. Goes up amazingly fast. Specious and built pretty well. Heavy it is as people have noted but that’s the trade off for convenience of setup. The doors are awkward and tough to open close and use. My biggest observation though is that the thing is not really waterproof and has gotten noticeably worse over the time I’ve owned it. Used is last weekend in a steady light mist and the roof and walls All weeped, seeeped and dripped. I think a hard rain would really hurt this thing. Took me 2 days to dry out the sleeping bags after just that light misting precipitation. When it was new we used it in a solid rain and it Didn’t leak through the roof but the walls did weep. Now everything is kinda leaky. Giving it four stars because it’s so Easy to set up and checks Many boxes along with the fact that most folks don’t need the kind of rain proof performance I need here in the upper Midwest.

Bought one because my roommate messed up my previous one and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. This tent, while smaller than my last one, is superior in almost every other metric. Thicker cloth, sturdier frame, and only slightly slower to put up. They claim 90 seconds but to do it right you’ll need about 5 minutes. Still, it’s extremely easy to set up and takedown solo and the purposely oversized storage bag alone is worth the price of admission. All in all, I am very happy with it although I’ve only camped in dry weather. Need to see how she’ll do in the rain.

Based on the reviews and everything I read online I purchased this tent. Setup was super simple and I was very pleased that first night. That’s when everything went downhill fast for me. Second day at the campground it rained on and off all day. All 4 walls had water running down them from each of the 4 hubs in the middle and the floor started to wick water up from below. Later that night I killed 5 bugs inside the tent. The next morning I had 6 more bugs to kill and confirmed with a park ranger that they are Pennsylvania Wood Cockroaches. Native to the eastern US woods and according to the ranger nothing to worry about. So not only did my brand new $300 tent end up soaked on the inside but it couldn’t stop bugs from getting inside the tent. THIS IS WHERE THE STORY REALLY GETS INTERESTING. I contacted Amazon and they authorized the return so I dropped the tent off at the UPS store the next day. That was on August 16th. I just finished a chat with 2 Amazon reps and was told that because the item was over $200 they will not process the refund for at least 30 days. On top of that I am not getting a full refund. I paid $299 plus tax and Amazon is only refunding me $241. Based on all the reviews I can only assume I got a lemon but what really frustrates me is Amazon taking a month to refund me and then not giving me a full refund. Lesson learned. I will not make any large purchases from Amazon again. Had I bought this tent from a brick and mortar store I would have received a refund the same day I returned the defective tent. Be aware. This tent had water literally running down the inside of all 4 walls and seeping up through the floor and if you purchase it through Amazon they will really play games with your refund.

This tent, at this price, is GREAT. The tent is exactly as advertised. So 5 out of 5 because it is exactly what it says it is. A 90 second pop up tent. Moving on from that part, couple things that I wasn’t sure of until I got it that may help others. There are a billion videos going over this tent already for everything else. 1) the takedown and put away. It’s as painless as it possibly can be. Took maybe 2 minutes to take down and get packed in the bag. Another 2 minutes for the rain fly and such. So basically it’s 5 min total to put up including the rain fly and stakes, same 5 min down. 2) the in bag size. Yeah it’s big. Yeah it’s over 5’. No it won’t fit longways in a gladiator(photographed) or Tacoma. But… it will almost fit longways. Which means if you have a cap or don’t mind it above your bed line… or want it somewhat diagonal, it will fit. I see a lot of people put these on their roofs… I’m not sure how long it will last like that. The bag isn’t “cheap” by any means… but it’s definitely not something to leave exposed to the elements for hundreds of hours at 70 mph.
