Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)So far so good with this well designed tent. I am currently "camping" on a "tent" platform with timber frame posts and beams all around and 3 walls about a third of the way done with natural building techniques. I also have a standard framed roof with a tarp pinned down to it. I am seeking to see if this tent will over winter in a partially built structure in order to observe the natural building process as it is performing. This will allow me to make design changes to the structure without actually having to deconstruct or settle on a less than optimally performing house.
As far as what can be said about the tent, the design is solid and well thought out. The poles are super strong and surprisingly easy to assemble. I am still assessing the whole seperated room thing????? The floor does not go all the way across and it is difficult to tell whether or not this will be the best situation until I try it staked and on the earth next summer. Maybe the footprint is a needed accessory, in which case it should be considered an accessory????????
All in all this was the best tent that I could find at this pricemark.

Product Description:
The Moken are water gypsies in southeast Asia who sail the seas and survive away from the rest of the world. Now Sierra Designs adapts the Moken's highly skilled living philosophy to the company's most inventive tents, the Moken 4 and 6. The Moken 4 offers two 34.5-square-foot end rooms that hang inside the tent fly, giving you separate sleeping rooms for parents, kids, couples, and dogs. You can also remove one or both end rooms to make one enormous shelter. Other details include color-coded webbing and poles to make setup a breeze; crossing tent poles to increase strength; and double-track zipper sliders on the vestibules. The result is a family living shelter that's durable, comfortable, and functional.
The large doors let you create shaded, open-air entrance when staked. Features:
Airflow vent system: This venting system allows air to circulate throughout the tent when needed. It also features an angled design with a mesh backing, so rain or snow will not get in.
Color-coded webbing and poles: The color-coded webbing guides the pole placement for a quick, easy setup. Made of durable, lightweight nylon, the webbing also assists with quick rainfly setup.
Dye-free optic white canopy: The canopy transmits light more effectively to produce a brighter, more pleasant environment when spending long hours inside the tent. Sierra Designs produces the optic white canopy without using chemical dyes.
Locking pole tips: A Sierra Designs innovation, these pole tips stay locked in the grommet for a faster, easier setup.
Sew-free windows: These windows employ bonded tape to create a stronger, lighter window than traditional sewn-and-sealed versions. This allows Sierra to place the windows in the most optimal location on a tent fly.
SuperSeal floor: Combining the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors, the SuperSeal floor offers a raised, taped perimeter seam that's guaranteed waterproof. The floor also maintains a tighter pitch with a better wind line to prevent flapping.
Swift Clips: This Sierra innovation allows campers to stake the tent before attaching the body to the pole structure.
Tent Guard with Ultra Fresh: Applied as part of the PU coating on Sierra's rain flies, floors, and footprints, Tent Guard extends the life of a tent by thwarting mold, mildew, and fungus. The Tent Guard is particularly valuable on extended trips or in damp climates, as it protects a tent if it's packed or stored temporarily while wet.
Other details: Attached common area/vestibule footprint, DAC Press Fit poles, double grommets, double-track vestibule, gear pockets, PVC-free tape, quick-pitch external pole structure, reflective guy-outs and zipper pulls, stash door, and short-sheet adjustable rainfly.
