In this video, we're testing out the REI Trail Hut 4 Tent. This tent is great for backpackers and hikers who want an affordable and spacious tent. However, we found that it ripped after only a few uses.
In this video, I'll explain the pros and cons of the REI Trail Hut 4 Tent, and I'll also give you an explanation on why it ripped so easily. Hopefully, this information will help you make a decision about whether or not to buy this tent for yourself.
If you have questions or would like to share your experience with this tent please share in the comments below.
Thanks for watching!

I just picked up one of these for car camping. A return at REI, had the ripped off fly grommet - super easy fix, and so I reinforced the other side too. A veritable bargain for $100.

The first one that failed me I returned but once it went back on sale I purchased it again since I like how compact it is and light for its size. My go to camping tent forsure. I’m a have to do what you did, “reinforce all sides”

I discovered a couple of points that help - not sure why they make the fly so taught, perhaps it loosens up a little of time. Anyway, that cross-bar pole should go on top of the others - it looks like it should go through the bottom of the hanger hook as there is space there, but if you lift it a little you can slide it in on top of the others under that main hook. Now that pole can more easily bend a little and puts less tension on those grommets. Next, I remove the tent body grommet and put the fly grommet on first, then the tent grommet. This adds about a quarter inch or so of space making the fly just a little less taught and much more manageable. I applied adhesive tent repair fabric over the strap and sewed it through the double layers of fly fabric there, then another adhesive patch to the outside to make it waterproof again. My other tent is also green and came with repair fabric, so it matches so close you have to know it's there. A couple of little triangles of ripstop, and now super strong - mine won't be ripping out. Really happy with how it works now, easy setup and the tent is huge. I wouldn't want to carry 8 pounds on my back, not even half of that, but for car camping it's great. I put a huge sleeping pad in there with a great big bag, lots of room. Great for a couple with a dog as well. The double doors are great. My backpacking tent is a Marmot Tungsten UL1 - it's under 3 lbs. all in. And I recently got a NorthFace Talus 3 that was also a blow-out manufacturers sample. It's a 3-person and a very nice tent, a little more weather resistant to the Trail Hut. So lots of options without a huge investment!

Take it back to REI and have them replace it
