Gazelle Tents

[Pretzel]

The big T4 with the "sun room" or whatever it is, is on the future purchase list for me. If it's just me my little Kelty 3 person works fine. But when I take the family places me, wife, 2 kids, however many dogs my wife can sneak into the Jeep. You quickly run out of room.

How does everyone like these big boxy gazelle tents in high wind conditions? I've held off on larger tents for years for this reason. I've camped in some pretty hellacious wind conditions and don't want the tent collapsing in on me.

In October we had it on the beach at Cape Lookout. High winds all night long. Used the tie-outs and didn't have a problem. In fact, set up right next to the tent was their gazebo as well. Also staked down and tied out and no problems.

That being said, if you do not tie it out and a gust collapses one of the hub points on a side wall, you don't want to be on the inside as they come in under tension and could easily hurt a young one.

If it blows away its strong enough to hold your weight Joshua ! Someone posted awhile back that their t3 held up to 60 mph gusts. They didn't say if they were in it though !

I purchased a T4 does anyone have a suggestion on two cots that fit good inside with room to move around?

The T4 is a great tent, you will enjoy it. We use 2 REI camp cots in ours and have room to have a small table and a chair if needed.

You can still be close to nature without having to sleep right on it. This folding cot sets up quickly and gets you off the ground for comfort on your car-camping adventures.

Plus you can store a ton of item under the cots.

Just ordered my T4 from the OB shop today. I'm looking forward to getting back out in 2021. This will be a huge upgrade from my old Coleman pop up tent which served me very well for a long time.

Hey crew! Remember to check OLB store when shopping - we offer an appreciation discount to all OLB Members on everything we carry. Log in with your member email! In this case, it's $225 for members with free shipping in lower 48. Not much, but hey - a six pack of your favorite mediocre beverage on us :)

T3X Hub Tent

This is the ultimate pop-up camping tent! Other similar tents are tricky to figure out, built with flimsy components and offer far less interior space. The Gazelle T3 Camping Hub Tent sets up and takes down in under 90 seconds.

That's easily a 30 pack of Natty Ice. Just sayin'.

Damn, I orders mine this morning

You'll just have to forfeit the beer, no big loss IMO. LOL

I use the T3 for work and pleasure. The fact that I can have a chair, stand up and quickly setup and take down sold it on me. I’m starting to see more of them at fire camps. Downside? Folds up to the size of an Ez Up.

edit - Yes, I’ve used the tent in the rain, no leaks and I use a cheap entry rug from Walmart to protect the floor from my chair and debris.

I dont see that much difference between the old t3 and the new t3x other than a $40 price increase. For the money difference I would buy a t4 instead of a t3x if I were buying today. Now that I have a cargo trailer my t3 will make a nice hang out addition in the day to my camp site (if I ever get there)...

The new T3X is taller... I need to look at the specs again, but it looks like it’s almost as tall as the t4.

 

[MuckSavage]

@M Rose Looks like 78" vs 68" (T4 vs T3X)

 

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

I think it's 69" but I could be wrong.

 

[M Rose]

I think it's 69" but I could be wrong.

68” high, same as the old T3... the new T3X is 76”x82” instead of 76”x76” and its stored size is 2” shorter than its predecessor. Also the new tent is using the new fabric found in the redesigned T4 Plus, T8, and the T4 Overland Edition.

I have a T3 and a T4. I love them both. l like the look of the new improvements on the T3X. I have never had much trouble in the wind. I was at a music festival when a horrific storm rolled in and wiped out most tents and camps. The T3 stood there proud. Somebody offered to buy it. I am 6'3" and the headroom is so nice. The T3 is a little short on floor space for a cot in my opinion. I have used one in it before. It worked, but it was wall to wall. Love Gazelle products.

Is there a store in SoCal that has these tents for sale so I can see it in person. I really like them but they also have a lot of "features" that I am concerned about.
