Tent
Rain Fly
Plastic composite and aluminum poles (8 pieces)

Condition wise this tent is in great shape for its age. No holes or rips in the tent body or fly, all seams are complete and the zippers work great. Some blue has transferred to the white of the tent top after being stored rolled up for years. Floor of the tent is remarkably clean, indicating the tent was used very little. Has a little of that old nylon tent smell but has been airing out for the last two weeks and will continue to until point of sale.
