I have not used the shelter in the field yet but have set it up in my living room. Materials and construction are excellent. At 6.5 pounds it is both heavy and heavy-duty. It's not something I would take on long hikes but would be great for car/motorcycle camping or shorter excursions. Using just the rainfly and poles would work well to lighten the load. I consider it a robust, four-season tent. With proper care it should last many seasons. Made in the USA!
Has blackout, insulates very well. To all the people complaining about the “AcU cAmO iS tHe WoRsT”, womp womp, ORC probably signed a piece of paper that gave them money. Props to them. I only care about the functionality and the quality. It deserves a 5 star review. Will always be me go to for a big out scenario, camping, etc.
I haven’t had the opportunity to setup the ICS tent. However, it is clearly very solid and well-built. I appreciate the fact it is free-standing and doesn’t require tent stakes but includes stakes if needed, especially in windy conditions. There is no odor that often occurs when getting a used tent. Having a bathtub floor is something that provides extra confidence in it being waterproof. While it would be nice to have bug screen on vestibule side of tent I am sure the large main entrance screen will allow for adequate ventilation. The use of buckles to attach rain fly is a very nice feature. I am confident the ICS will be a great tent for years.
The tent performs as expected and will keep you out of the elements. I tested it with my team during a mock disaster preparedness drill. It’s also a simple choice for a go bag/bug out bag tent for those that aren’t needing ultralight gear and prefer tents over tarp shelters. Would’ve preferred the woodland camo variant to be the first purchase, but I have one on the way now.
