The Recon 2 will be perfect for your next "Covert" operation, whether using it on an actual combat mission or just trying to keep things low key this tent is the perfect choice.

Pockets are sewn into the tent wall to keep small items from getting lost and a gearloft is included to help keep things organized.

Comments about GigaTent GigaTent Recon 2, 2-Person Tent:

We had found the Gigatent Recon 2 online for around $50 and thought, "Wow! What a Deal!" Turns out you get what you pay for with this thing. It leaked at every zipper despite reassuring fabric flaps over the zippers. The rain-fly dripped water through the zippers all over my pack and gear that I left out in one vestibule. I have an email into the vendor to see what they will do for return/exchange. For now, let me say the Gigatent Recon 2 is a great price for dry weather camping. The materials seem durable and the square footage is excellent. The weight is a little heavy; I don't know how the spec sheet gets 6lbs, 3oz. I couldn't get that if I was removing all the tent stakes. Call packed weight closer to 7lbs 6oz.
