Stopped at REI in Flagstaff last Saturday and counted 9 people returning tents they never opened
I was in Flagstaff last Saturday killing time in the REI and the return line had 9 people in it, and at least 5 of them were bringing back tents still sealed in the box. One guy told the clerk he bought 3 to "test which one felt right in the yard" and never actually pitched any of them. Am I the only one who thinks you can't review a tent until it's been through a real storm, or is this just how people shop now?
