Materials
The South Bend 4 person tent is made of polyester, which comes at an inexpensive price. Although its polyester walls can allow some moisture through during heavy downpours, using a tarp over the rainfly help prevent any leaks from occurring. This tent can be purchased for less than $50.
Plenty of Space
This tent is meant to house up to 4 people. It can fit a queen-sized air mattress with enough room left over for a couple of duffel bags. There is also a gear loft built inside the tent so that camping gear and personal toiletries can be stored safely.
The South Bend 4 person tent measures 4 feet by 7 feet wide and stands at 4.3 feet tall. The whole tent measures 63 square feet. While this tent is not a big as some of the other 4 person tents on the market, its size makes it very quick and easy to set up and takedown. With its shock-corded fiberglass frame, the set up for this tent takes less than 10 minutes and takes only 1 person. Some find that they can set up this tent in 2 minutes once they get used to it. The Stow-and-Go duffel bag system allows for quick storage of the tent.
Waterproof
The tent comes with a mud mat to protect against the wet, muddy ground once after set-up. While this tent is not completely waterpoof in heavy downpours, it comes with a rainfly for extra protection. And, as with any tent, it would be wise to spray it with RainGuard before first usage, which will provide a water repellant seal over the entire wall of the tent.
