If you want a cheap teepee to play with, I guess it’s fine. I bought one years ago and I still take it on some short family backpack trips.
That said I would never depend on it during a longer hunt with weather/wind or other concerns. The center pole broke on my first trip and a couple of seams are pulling.
When the pole broke on the first trip, I was essentially told “sorry” with no offer of solution, repair or replace. Even if I was willing to pay.
Too many good reputable company’s to risk a substantial trip on these tents. If it was not such an essential piece of gear then maybe I would accept the cheap knockoff as a “deal” but with a shelter, I just do not think the risk/reward is worth it. 90% of the time you will be fine, but when weather hits or something breaks and your shelter fails, your tag you waited years to draw may be in jeopardy.
Spend the extra money and buy a used or new shelter of reputation. Save the money elsewhere! Boots, pack, sleep system, are not the places to skimp.
