Harrison film changing tent stinks. Literally.

[joselsgil]

My tent is still too new to stink, but I have had rain gear stink as described.

Would spraying the tent with Fabreeze help with the eliminating the smell?

[Drew Bedo]

I like my Harrison tent.

Cameron Diaz is supposed to have really bad BO but would you still...?

Geezum, Frank-- what have I been missing out on by using a Photoflex instead I'd a Harrison? Is the experience of putting your hands inside a Harrison as hot as dirty sex with a movie star?

[Frank Petronio]

I've had the Calumet and Photoflex and if they work for you then be happy, the price is right. I just prefer the larger, flatter working area of the Harrison even though they cost more. They are well constructed, other than the coating issues that people have.

I think they need to be stored in a large container and not in their travel stuff sack ~ and you shouldn't have DEET or anything that could be a solvent on your arms when you use them. I don't hold Harrison faultless - I suspect there are more durable, robust coatings they could have found after this has been a persistent problem for years now - but apparently they haven't. So only buy one knowing what you are potentially getting into.

So it's not really the same as feeling up a starlet, I take it...

They smell a little bit but I don't think it's a durability issue. As I said earlier in the thread, I've loaded hundreds of thousands of feet (I'm probably into millions but I don't keep track show to show) in mine and it works just as well as when it was new. The coating isn't flaking off or anything. It just smells funny. Most of the smell even goes away if I air it out in the sun regularly like you would a camping tent.
