Rain Test! Magellan SwiftRise pro 3P hub tent
มุมมอง 4K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Did a test of my Magellan SwiftRise pro 3P hub tent in the rain. The short answer, we had a minor problem with the front door area pooling water and leaking. Let me know if you have the same issue and if so what you did to resolve it. I came up with a hack that may work. As a bonus, you get to see how fast it setups up in a down pour!
Do they keep the rain out? Magellan SwiftRise Pro 4P/3P Hub Tent - Rain Test
มุมมอง 25K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Tested our Magellan SwiftRise Pro 4P and 3P Hub tents in the rain. The first big rain to come up since we picked up these tents. We though we would check out how they do before we eventually get caught out during a storm. To be clear, I have not yet done any extra seam sealing or water repellant treatments, these tents are new and as-is out of the box. The short answer: Yes. They did much bette...
How to load them! Magellan SwiftRise 4P/3P Hub Tent collapsed size and vehicle loading.
มุมมอง 2.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Just a short video to show you a size comparison and some internal vehicle loading options for the Magellan SwiftRise 4 person and 3 person hub tents and a 3 person Ozark Trails Hexagonal Sport Done Tent. The Magellan SwiftRise 4 person Hub tent is 67.5" long when packed up which puts it at the same size as the Gazelle T4 (67.5"). These two tents seem to compare quite equally in space and desig...
Fastest 3 person Tent Setup and Teardown! Magellan SwiftRise 3P Hub Tent setup and tear down
มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Picked up another Magellan Outdoors Pro Explorer SwiftRise Hub tent (That naming convention is a mouthful). This time we got the 3 person (2 if you want any room at all) variant. This tent will take some of the stress out of your camping weekend! Don’t fuss with trying to figure out which pole goes where, threading poles through impossible fabric and trying with all your might to get the last p...
Fastest 4 person Tent Setup and Teardown! Magellan SwiftRise 4P Hub tent setup and teardown
มุมมอง 77K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This super fast setup and tear down tent from Magellan will add tons of ease to your camping. 60s and your up and ready. Tear down is equally fast. The Magellan SwiftRise 4 person Hub Tent is the easiest setup and tear down tent of its size that I have tried. It does great in windy conditions and has nice integrated led lighting. It has a similar style and size as the Gazelle T4. From bag to se...
You set it up very fast and it’s very good with a steady rainfall. Thank you for sharing. Good tips on item placement too.
Academy has these for $75. If you don’t mind, how much did you pay and is it worth what you paid?
🙏 Thank you!
Perfect! This video is just what I need as a new owner. Thank you.
What are the dimensions of the 4p tent?
This or the Gazelle T4?
Thanks for posting the videos on this tent. I just bought one today and will try it out this weekend.
Really appreciate this video!
Wish the bag was waterproof so I could throw it on the roof rack.
First tent I have bought and I would day it was worth my money, very easy to set up and plenty of space inside
Hello where can I buy this kind of tents I did a search and looks like they don’t sell it anymore
This was EXACTLY the review I was looking for. Great job
I was sold tell i saw the lid. Sorry but that rain fly sucks
Seam seal it thank me later
A tip that will probably help the door zipper issue. Have everything zipped closed before you stake it down. This will prevent you from slightly over stretching the door openings.
I like the way you did the test. Thanks for taking the time.
I just got 1 today go ahead and seam seal those pockets from the outside. I hit every seam not protected by the rainfly.
Can't find the Gazelle alternatives anywhere. They must be taking them out. 😮💨
Fastest put up and take down. 16 minute vid lol
I got got in some unpredicted high winds at Kerr Lake my last night & through the morning. I nearly lost it taking it down. I learned quickly leave bottom stakes in & take out as you fold it up. I camp alone and would have been heartbroken to have watched my new tent destroyed!! Another thing, the vents in the rainfly, opened helped create an even nicer breeze at night! I haven't had any moisture/water in the tent even with rainfly off. Overall love it . . . Great windows but I'm a little concerned about the 2 vinyl ones. The interior lighting a true bonus!!! Happy camping!! ⛺️
Agreed on the stakes, in first, out last. We like the vent in the rainfly too, though occasionally we think some rain manages to sneak though it.

Too bad they didn't make a better door. Such a tiny bit of room on the bottom to step into could be dangerous for an older person.
Agreed they could have done the door better.
I got a tent right now that I can't get back in the bag, so thank you. Lol. Definitely worth not having to hassle to get it back in the bag. Lol.
This guy really know how to test a tent. Hate those channels who just opened a tent and says, 'Oh this tent looks nice and roomy'. Never test it in the real scenario. I would love to collaborate and make videos with this guy coz he knows how to show us real world-scenario.
It would have helped in the review to comment on any issue with condensation.
Amazing content! We at Kolify would love to work with you! We sent an email with details! Looking forward to your reply!

Pros and cons for this tent and the Gazelle
How did we camp before all the garbage, phones iPads ect?
Try a noodle on the inside to puff out the extra fabric also softer on the material than your clips.
Just got one last week. Me and the family 👪 went camping to falcon state park. Super easy to set up. I love this tent. I bought it watching your channel thanks
That is awesome!
Thanks for the review. Would you recommend these tents for inclement weather, such as heavy rain and or snow?
Never tried snow, but it works great in rain.
I’m disappointed we didn’t see how they fit in a Corolla, 4Runner, Sequoia, Sienna, and RAV4. 😂
LOL, well I supposed once people start donating me additional vehicles, I will get right on that :P
Does the 4 person tent have a tarped bottom?
If your asking if it has a specific tarp made for the exact foot-print of the tent, so you can put that down before you setup the tent, unfortunately we have not found one.
@@spinfamtravels9057 No. I'm asking if the bottom of the tent is made from a tarp material rather than tent material.
Oh yes. You may be able to see from the videos that the flooring is made from a tarp like material, much thicker than the tent walls. I have found that when water sits under the tent for a duration, there was some moisture seeping though where our sleeping pad was.
@@spinfamtravels9057 Thank you!
Hey! Can you add your email to the About section for getting your feedback on sleeping bags. Thanks.

I am from the Philippines. How will I be able to acquire this tent worth $40? How much would be the cost for the shipment?
Sorry I have no idea
Just bought this tent for my first solo camping trip and I already love it, i was really nervous for the whole trying to set up a traditional tent with just me and no help and this tent has literally eased all my worries. It’s definitely more pricey than traditional tents but so far it seems worth it. Thanks for the video!
That is great! We have used both traditional tents where you are dealing with running poles though tiny sleeves and semi-instant pop-up tents that left the tent fabric very loose. This by far is our favorite ground tent just for easy of setup and nice taunt walls that pull away from the living space.
Do you know what the length is collapsed in the bag. I could not find this measurement
Sorry for the late reply. If you didn't get it already, The Magellan SwiftRise 4 person Hub tent is 67.5" long when packed up. I did a video on loading it in my various cars. th-cam.com/video/kfjktdNwssk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SpinFamTravels
Take a small noodle cut the length to size and insert it into the void. That should keep the water from pooling on the edge.
Hah, interesting idea. Will have to give that a try.
Man, THANK YOU so much for this video. I couldn't figure out how to take mine back down.
Funny, the last outing I had my wife and daughter take it down by themselves. It took them a bit to figure out how much force was needed. One almost fell into the tent :P
👍
Would be nice to see a retest of the bigger one to see how it fares during the night before it dries out in the morning.
Yah, I plan on re-testing it. Waiting on some 'fall' weather to take it out again.
Darn it can't find it in Europe, would be nice to have it :)
Great review, just wondering what you get extra from the Gazelle for double the price.
yah, that would be good to know. Don't have the Gazelle as it was more expensive and I could grab this at the local store.
Great review, just wondering what you get extra from the Gazelle for double the price.
Yah, I am not sure. We were going to go with a Gazelle originally, but since I could swing by the store and get this and it looked very similar, we figured we would give it a try. So far, so good. Gazelle does sell a very expensive tarp foot-print that matches there tent size, but that is another hefty fee.
Nope. I can see this being issue as time progresses. If it's leaking now it's definitely gonna keep doing it.
True, but I have always water sealed my tents and other camping equipment after owning them for some time. I will get around to doing that with this tent and test it again.
I have a gazelle t4. Great tent! But this one also seems like it would have a place in my summer setup with all those windows. We used our t4 over the summer and there were a number of times when I wished it had vent windows down a lot lower
Yah, I don't have a T4 to compare with, but there is a lot of windows/vents on this tent.
Yeah they should freakin add that small point when you purchase the t4. Freakin oven in the texas summer heat. Just let all the sand in through the doors 🤣 T4 OWNER.. 95% HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE LOL
Bu ürünü nereden nasıl alırım ben türkiye deyim
So usefull but way too big for motorcycle.
Indeed. These do not pack down small
I understand the gazelle is the crème de la crème, but I think for the casual camper, this tent is more than adequate. I like to occasionally car camp during fair weather. I'll buy the 200$ magellan vs the 400$ gazelle.
