The Big Horn 8 Two Room is Browning Camping's largest tent, and it has six windows and two doors and a maximum center height of 7' 3, which is a tiny bit more than the average height of the 53 different 8 person tents we have studied. With 150 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit larger than some other 8-person tents, and it should accommodate you and, up to seven other campers during the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, larger tents similar to this one often make a very good choice for families who like having heaps of room inside the tent.

One of the sweet One of the sweet things about cabin tents is, that the sides are near vertical creating a spacious interior, this makes for a lot more headroom at the sides inside, making it feel much larger than other types of tents, they also, have a larger sleeping area making them great for families. In general cabin tents are used by families going on a camping trip in a car or a truck as they are quite heavy when compared to dome tents. It dose though make them better suited to colder nights. Not all tents are created equal, cabin tents often have a few rooms, the same as the Browning Camping Big Horn two-room tent

PROS

1. Freestanding. The Big Horn Two Room can support its own weight on any terrain. It does not even have to be staked down in most cases. But in case of strong winds, it is always best to secure it to the floor with the included steel stakes and guylines.
2. Plenty of space. With a center height of 87 inches (more than 6 feet) and a floor area of 150 square feet, the Big Horn gives you a lot of space. Most people can stand inside the tent without ducking their heads.
3. Tons of Headroom. With 5% more headroom than similar-sized tents, one can easily count this as a plus.
4. Internal storage. It is good to see Browning Camping has added a gear loft and pockets in the interior to store some of your things.
5. More than one room. The Big Horn comes with two rooms, allowing for more privacy. Ideal for a large family and groups who do not want to be all sleeping together.
6. More than one door. With 2 doors, it is easier to get in and out of the tent, in the middle of the night if needed.
7. More than one window. With 6 windows it is simple to keep the tent cooler on a hot summers night.
8. Durable, water-resistant floor. The floor material is 151D polyester oxford, which is a substantially thick and high-strength fabric. Meaning the base is not prone to rips and punctures. Also, the material has a 2000 mm waterproofing rating, which is pretty good for most circumstances.

CONS

1. Vulnerable to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Big Horn may not do best in strong winds if it is not firmly secured with the provided guy lines and stakes. Even though the tent is listed as freestanding in all but very calm conditions, one would need to stake and tie it down correctly.
2. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
3. Rainfly does not completely cover the tent. The rainfly only covers the ceiling and part of the tent body from the top. Meaning it might not protect against heavy rain.
4. Uses Fiberglass poles. Even though the poles are comprised of fiberglass & steel uprights for extra strength. Using even some fiberglass with a large tent like the Big Horn 8 could possibly lead to problems, if there were to be extreemly windy conditions.
5. Poor Heat Retention. The general construction of the Browning Camping's Big Horns interior is designed to easily let air in and out. Therefore, it cannot keep heat inside, making it unsuitable for use in cold weather.
6. Heavy. Even though heavy is not in it self a negative, it is worth noting that the Big Horn 8, weighs 34 pounds and has a packed size of 12 x 30 inches. obviously it is designed for camping with a vehicle and would not be super simple to set up on your own.
7. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Big Horn 8 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 151D polyester oxford, it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.

Browning Camping's Big Horn 8 Two Room tent is great for car camping. Here are a couple of other things not noted above which, we noticed and liked, while researching the model: Weatherproof fly buckles to tent for maximum adjustability and protection, Factory-sealed fly and floor seams provide best weather protection and Straight side walls allow more room for cots.

Value for money: When thinking about value for money, this tent is undoubtedly more competitive than the normal price of all the fifty-five, eight-person tents we have studied, all alone this does not make it remarkable value for money. We also need to take a look at other factors in detail, as we do with every tent.
