PROS

3. 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.
4. The rainfly completely covers the tent body. The rainfly covers the whole body of the tent from the top to the bottom and has a waterproof rating of 1500mm. Meaning it will easily protect you against heavy downpours.

CONS

1. Sensitive to wind. Because of its size and shape, the Timberline may not do well 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. Not roomy. With a floor area of 87 square feet, the Timberline 6 is smaller than quite a few of the 111 other 6 person tents we have looked at.
3. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent cool on a hot summers night.
4. Only one room. The Timberline is suggested for 6 campers, some other tents of a similar size have more than one room allowing for a little more privacy.
5. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the elements, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
6. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, there is one available separately specifically for the Timberline 6 footprint Even though the floor may be made of 210 Nylon oxford, it is still better to protect it further with a footprint, especially on rough terrain.
