Returning even before using :(

By days-like-this June 22, 2011

Didn't even get a chance to use this tent...set it up in the living room side by side with another SAC order (bought Big Agnes Madhouse 2 in same week to compare side by side). The ALPS Zephyr 2 is SMALL and more like a one person. It tapers at your feet and has limited space in volume at the taper. Also, found two defects straight out of the box which has me questioning the quality of this tent. They were 1) buckle in fabric at seam and a 'cut' in the screen with a 1/2" hole and 2) broken zipper which was already coming apart. VERY glad I set this up indoors prior to using it out. Again, will be returning for questionable quality. Keeping the Big Agnes!!!
