Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p


Wenzel Ridgeline 7 X 7-Feet Three-Person Dome Tent (Blue/LightGrey/Red) CustomerReview

This tent is perfect for couples, a snuggle tent with adverage size couples. If your tall skip this tent. I’m 5′6 and most comfortable fit for me and my gear is on the diagonal as to not worry about touching the sides when it rains. Love the design, large screen vents on top, opposite the window door screens for great cross ventalation on a clear dry night. Door is a good size for entry/exit. Rain fly easy to set up and longer than others at this price. Also an attached small mesh storage bag attached to the back wall to the right of the window as well as an extra loft storage net you can attach or not. Tent went up quickly and came down just as fast. This is a very light weight designed tent, would recommend tent pole repair kits. Mine arrived with some minor screen damage no big deal. I’ts kinda a pain in the butt to re pack, but with practice/use it gets easier. Tent stakes are small alumnium pin type, standard. would buy a stronger set for the weekend camper will last longer. The tub floor is a great feature, a small tarp under it and a heavy blanket inside on floor works great to reduce moist/damp feel adds a little comfort as well. Tent is awkward as a backpacking tent at 23″L x 6″ H x 6″W, you can repack to a smaller width and put into a compression sack, if you remove combine poles stakes in pole bag and keep seperate. This tent is perfect for kids, 3 adverage size at max. Would have like to see zipper pulls on inside of tent but at this price you can afford 1 pack at local store. Also a key finder works great to find your tent in the woods after a hike or in the dark. Overall a smart purchase!

Wenzel Twin Peaks Sport Dome Tent, Red/Black CustomerReview

I’m a geology professor and there have been times when I’ve had need for a tent for use in my travels. For example, one year I had a sabbatical leave to gather information on the National Parks and Monuments of the western states. I always stayed in the campgrounds, never in the lodges. I got around to 61 National Parks and Monuments that year (late 80s) and have visited many more sites since that time. Plus, I got to liking camping so much that living in a tent was far preferable to staying in a hotel/motel whenever I traveled anywhere.br /br /As such, I had need for a tent. It didn’t need to be very big or elegant and I chose a Wenzel Twin Peaks Model. It looked very much like the model illustrated here, except that mine was a uniform military-green color. The tent only cost about the same as listed here. I found it at the local Target store. Well, that little tent was amazing! Setting it up, or taking it down, only took a few minutes. It was small and had few extras. The construction was simple and rather crudely done. Let me add that it was totally sufficient! On at least 90% of my uses, I was as a single person, but it was well suited for two.br /br /That little tent went everywhere from the Texas Border to the Canadian Border and from North Dakota/South Dakota/Nebraska on the east to the Pacific Coast. It experienced wind storms, rain storms and even a couple good snow storms. I had no problem under any of those conditions. About the only complaint I had was that it leaked slightly at the sewed seams during heavy prolonged rains.br /br /I used the Wenzel Tent regularly for about 15 years. It was just a wonderful little tent. Finally, the door zipper gave out and, I might add that the whole tent was looking somewhat tattered. Next, I bought a larger Coleman four-person dome tent and really liked it in that I could stand up in it. It made it through several dramatic rain/lightning/wind storms. I was amazed at how well these domes could hold up. I got good service out of it for about three years and the sun finally destroyed the fabric. After that, I bought a second large Coleman and used it for a couple years until one of the elastics within the fiberglass poles snapped rendering the tent useless. All in all, of these three tents I’ve owned on a long-term basis, I’d judge the Wenzel to be the best tent, even though it was small, featureless and crudely made. And it was by far the cheapest. I just bring this up because I recently purchased a three-person Kelty tent and it brought up fond remembrances of my old Wenzel. I hope these new ones are as good as the one I purchased all those years ago. If so, you should be very satisfied.br /br /Gary Peterson

Wenzel Starlight 2-Person Hiker/Biker Tentbr /br /I bought this tent for my son to take camping with him in the Eastern Kentucky Mountains. Every night there is a heavy dew fall, almost like rain. He loved the tent. The ease of setting it up, weight and rolled up size is the reason he chose this one. He’s a BIG guy, so it might not work for 2 people comfortably, but it serves its’ purpose. Make fure you set it up right, or it will drip water (if it rains), but other than that, it’s fantastic. We recommend it highly.

My husband was looking for a smaller tent that did not take an hour to assemble! Easy instructions and 15 minute set up time! Excellent quality. The outside front entry shoe “mat” has screen netting that lines against the tent so that if it rains it will not run into the tent! Loves this feature!

Wenzel Pine Ridge 10-by-8 Foot Four-to-Five-Person 2-Room Dome Tent CustomerReview

The tent itself is very nice. It is easy to setup with a minimum of 2 people. It is very roomy inside. I had three male adults in the tent and it was very comfortable. 3 average size male adults is very comfortable for this tent. 4 average size male adults would be just right. Overall, it is a very nice tent. Enjoyed my two weekends (4 nights) camping in this tent. It also held up well in light to medium rain. Haven’t been able to test it for heavier rain yet. br /br /The only downside is that there does seem to be a zipper problem. If you open the tent too fast or even normal speed it seems to get caught on the orange part which protects the zippers and keeps out moisture I presume. It didn’t get stuck to the point where I couldn’t take it out, but nevertheless, it does seem to be annoying. However, if you go slower opening the tent and mindful of that the orange part can get stuck, then this problem can be overlooked in my opinion.br /br /Despite this problem, I really like the tent. Excellent price for the size. Would have given it 5 out of 5 stars but would say it is 3.8-4.0 out of 5.0

Wenzel Big Bend 12-by-10 Foot Five-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent Overviews

The Wenzel Big Bend is a 12-foot x 10-foot, seven-sided-dome tent with 68 inches of center head room. It accommodates five campers on a welded-polyethylene tub-style floor to keep out ground moisture and is made of rugged, unique Weather Armor weather-resistant polyester with a polyurethane coating for toughness and reliability. The hanging divider curtain creates two separate rooms for privacy. A removable hooped fly over the back to back D-style door keeps out the rain. Double-stitched, lap-felled seams through out the body of the tent provide a shingle effect against water. All threads, zippers and webbing are treated with superior water repellency applications to enforce these critical areas. Mesh doors, two windows, and mesh roof provide a cross breeze. The lightweight, shockcorded fiberglass frame has a pin and ring system for easy set-up. This tent includes two hanging pockets for storage, an integrated mud mat to help keep the tent clean and has a 10-year warranty against defects. Specifications: • Base: 12 ft. x 10 ft. • Center Height: 68 in. • Area: 94 sq. ft. • Doors: Back to back Dutch “D” style • Floor: welded polyethylene • Frame: fiberglass • Stakes: plastic • Sleeps: 5 • Carry Weight: 14.3 lbs

Wenzel Big Bend 12-by-10 Foot Five-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent Specifications

Spacious and weather-resistant, the Wenzel Big Bend 12-by-10-foot family dome tent sleeps up to five campers in its two rooms, making it ideal for mid-size families or couples with lots of gear. The Big Bend is made of rugged, weather-repellent Weather Armor polyester with a polyurethane coating for reliability, helping it keep water out and warmth in. The sonic-sealed, polyethylene tub-style floor, meanwhile, is welded and not sewn, eliminating needle holes that might otherwise attract water seepage. And campers will love the variety of ventilation points–including two mesh doors, two mesh windows, and a mesh roof–which combine to create a refreshing cross breeze on warm evenings. p The Big Bend is also easy to set up, with shock-corded fiberglass poles and a pin-and-ring system. And when it comes time to hit the sheets, you can either create one large sleeping room or roll down the divider curtain to create two separate rooms. The rooms can function as individual bedrooms for the campers or as a sleeping room and living area. Other details include an integrated mud mat to keep the tent clean, a removable fly with a hoop frame over the door, two hanging pockets for storage, and a storage duffel. pbSpecifications:/bulliBase: 14 by 10 feet liCenter height: 68 inches liArea: 94 square feet liCapacity: 5 people liCarrying weight: 14.3 pounds liWarranty: 10 years /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future.

I love this tent. I can set it up alone(or with the help of a 6 and 7 year old). We were in 2 storms the first time we used it and stayed dry. The only problem I can see is that when it rains and you unzip the door you may get a little water in the tent off the door. Once I realized this I now make sure we push the door out and it works,it stays dry.The amount of water was minimal and could be wiped up with a paper towel.

Wenzel Great Basin 18 X 10-Feet Nine-Person Two-Room Family Dome Tent (Light Grey/Blue/Taupe) CustomerReview

This is a great value for a family that wants to go camping and have plenty of room. It is large (LARGE) with plenty of room for people and “stuff”. It sets up easily, one can do it but 2 or 3 people make it a snap. The instructions are easy to follow, but it is pretty intuitive.br /br /Colors are good and the ventilation is fine. Do get a tarp to put underneath.br /br /I did seal it before going camping but we had some rain and it still leaked. No major flooding, but we got water in, mostly at the corners where there were peg loops sewn to the outside. The side windows also will let in water if not closed when it rains as there really isn’t any overhang.br /br /We also had some wind (nothing gale force, but more than a breeze) and the tent stood up fine. We went camping with another family and they had a tad more trouble with their setup (different tent), but with a few hours of rain on Saturday morning, the kids all had planty of room to play games and keep occupied. The rest of the time was easy campling and everyone had a blast.br /br /We are happy with the tent and looking forward to our next outing. I must admit that I wonder exactly how long this tent will last as it doen’t seem built for the long haul, but I am confident that we will get several years out of it and for the price, it provides a good value.

Wenzel Lone Tree Hiker Tent CustomerReview

I just took this tent for its first run on a camping trip this weekend and I’m pleased to say that it fulfilled all my expectations. br /br /The tent and all the accessories fit nicely into the included carrying bag, I’m glad they didn’t try and stuff everything into a smaller bag that I’d never be able to fit it into again. It’s nice and compact, I bought this tent for motorcycle camping on a medium cruiser without big saddlebags or luggage and it’s perfect for this function.br /br /I hadn’t taken it out its package before I got to the camp site, so it was basically a trial by fire rushing to get it up at dusk. As expected, setup was very straightforward and it went up quickly. I had to pop the rainfly on in the middle of the night when it started raining, and that was a piece of cake as well. The construction was sound, the tent poles were fine, no issues there. The fabric and seams were very well put together and tight for a tent in this price category.br /br /It rained fairly heavily on the last morning, and I didn’t get any leakage, except a tiny bit around the door area when I had to open the window cover and when I had to step out of the tent a few times briefly. The rainfly doesn’t do much for covering the door area, as the door slopes outward towards the bottom, and it simply doesn’t cover it enough. A setup that would allow at least another 6-10 inches of cover would make this tent perfect. This is the only drawback of this tent, albeit a small one. The floor of the tent is tough and watertight, though not a bathtub style, it still comes up a couple inches or so when staked properly to protect from average runoff.br /br /As far as space is concerned, i know this is advertised as a 2 man tent, but this is stretching it in my opinion. This is a very comfortable 1 person tent, with room to sleep and put your pack and a few other things. I’m 6 foot, and a big guy and I had no issues with space.br /br /I had to pack this tent up in the rain, and it was a breeze to quickly roll up and stuff everything into the bag it came with.br /br /In summary, this is a great little tent for the money and should meet the needs of all but the most hardcore backpackers.

Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent Specifications

Great for hiking and biking trips, the Ponderosa two-room tent is lightweight enough at 10.8 pounds to carry on a backpack or saddle bags yet spacious enough to sleep four people at once. The tent base measures 10 feet by 8 feet, with a height in the center of 60 inches–more than enough space for an informal game of cards at midnight. The removable divider curtain, meanwhile, adds a bit of privacy in crowded conditions. Construction details range from a shock-corded fiberglass frame with a pin and ring connection to a weather-armor polyester fabric with a polyurethane coating. The frame is designed for quick and easy setup–a far cry from the clunky frames of yesteryear–while the coated fabric is reliable and sturdy regardless of the weather. p And should the rains come pouring down, the tent’s armor-tough seams and water-repellent threads, zippers, and webbing stand ready to resist. The tent even includes sonic-sealed floors that are welded (not sewn) to eliminate stitch and needle holes, ensuring that water from rain-soaked dirt won’t sneak in. Additional details include three windows (two in the front and one in the rear), Dutch D-style doors for easy entry from either side of the tent, and four mesh roof vents for circulation and moisture control. The Ponderosa is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.pstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p


Wenzel Ponderosa 10- by 8-Foot Four-Person Two-Room Dome Tent CustomerReview

I did my research and found this tent would fit my needs perfectly. i was going to take my 2 daughters camping and needed some room for them and their junk. Tent came super fast and box wasnt as big as i thought it would be. Perfect because i have to carry everything myself.br /br / I didnt get a chance to pre-assemble it because i live in an apartment and its way to big to set up in my living room. I read the instructions and it seemed pretty simple. When it came time to put it up, i was going to have only my 8yr old help me out !br /br / Day of camping I first put a tarp under the tent just in case of leaks or rain. Tent was a breeze setting up. Daughter only had to help hold the 2 poles while i attached them at the bottom clips. Only took about 40 minutes to get it up,and that was taking my time so I could let my daughter “help”. br /br /The tent was pretty roomy. Came with super zippers that can open/close the doors halfway, partway, sideways, upside-down!! really kewl. It also came with little pouches to put your needed stuff in easy to find spots. there was even a storage at the top of the tent for hmm my bread!! great so it didnt get smashed.br /Size of the inside was big enough for a queen sized inflatable bed and a twin sized futon (i wanted something soft to sleep on!) Tons of room for all the gear along the sides.br /br /It didnt rain so I didnt get to see if it was watertight. I bought the seam sealers but didnt use them because i didnt have time to air it out afterwards. But it seemed pretty well made.br /br /Only negatives i found were the outside “flap/cover/thingy” sits a bit too snug against the roof so there wasnt that much ventilation and the door started a few inches above the ground so u have to be careful not to trip on it coming in or out. And in the morning, the dew got the insides near the bottom wet so dont put your stuff too close to the sides. I had no clue it would be soo cold!! Guess even in Hawaii its cold in the mornings! Ooo, forgot to add, id replace the tent spikes because the thin metal ones didnt really hold in the ground that well. I bought some cheap ones made out of plastic at walmart for few bucks.br /br /Taking the tent down was a super breeze, and it even fit back in the original zipper bag with no problems. I even got it back in the original box!!br /br /overall: awesome tent!! it was perfect and my daughters loved it! Ill have to take them camping again!!br /

Wenzel Pinon Sport 7-by 7-Foot Three-Person Dome Tent Specifications

Nicely lightweight and easy to set up and breakdown, the sporty Wenzel Pinon dome-style tent is a great choice for a weekend car camping outing. It features a generously sized single room that measures 7 by 7 feet–great for storing lots of gear–and a 50-inch maximum height. In addition to the good-sized D-style door (with a mesh window covering half of it), this tent also includes a window on the back for cross-current ventilation. The interior is quite spare, with only a small gear pocket in one corner near the door.p Setting up the tent was easy, for the most part, and we erected the tent (with its two shock-corded fiberglass poles) in under five minutes. The one impediment to an even faster assembly was the heavy-duty nylon corner pockets that secure the poles, which included a polyester-reinforced interior flap that’s not seamed at the top of the entry. Thus, we had a tougher time than we should have trying to make correct purchase with the pocket, continually hitting the space between the nylon pocket and the interior poly pocket.p But we could forgive this slight design flaw for such a nicely light and easily backpacked tent. This tent also includes a fly that offers a good coverage area, including a bit of an extended cover over the door and back window. While we didn’t have rain during our testing, we did use a sprinkler for an extended period, and were pleased to note that the fly ably handled the water run off, guiding it away from the bottom of the tent. To improve this tent’s weather resistance, it’s recommended that you use seam sealer to coat all exposed seams, applying only to the underside of the fly and inside the seams of the tent.p Overall, the Wenzel Pinon is a good choice for car campers and for the occasional hiked excursion. While it won’t stand up to the worst that Mother Nature can throw your way, it should handle a decent amount of rain. And its ample 49 square foot interior will hold two good-sized adults and a good amount of gear. i–Agen G.N.

Wenzel Pinon Sport 7-by 7-Foot Three-Person Dome Tent CustomerReview

Just received this and set it up, Set-up was easy as could be, didn’t even need the directions. Only gripe I would have is that assembly poles are much thinner than a previous Wenzel that we currently own. None the less, I hope this own lasts as long as the other one (15+ years) On a completely different note: I used a seam sealer with the applicator tip (wow, that was lame) after getting most of it on the floor I decided to use a fuzzy yellow flat trim disposable brush (1 inch wide) Let me tell ya, that worked like a champ and gave a nice thick even seal all around. In addition, I used scotchgard for fabric on the outside to add that extra protection (BTW, go to [...] and get a off coupon) then go to big lots (of all places) and get the stuff for a can!!!! That’s a deal! Happy Trails Y’all!
