5.0 out of 5 stars. Perfect Tent for 1 or 2Reviewed by Tammy in OR from Oregon on Friday, July 20, 2018I love this tent. I've had it for two years and used it a number of times backpacking, hiking about 150 miles carrying it. It is fast and easy to put up or pack up. I've never had an issue with condensation. There is room at my feet for my pack if I want to bring it in, but there are two vestibules to store it outside under the rain fly. I like that the mesh is closer and the rain fly is further out--I feel both snug but not claustrophobic in it. I *love* that when sharing this tent, each person has their own door and vestibule--much easier than climbing over each other! I will say that sharing this with my large husband and his giant air mattress was too crammed. But sharing with any two average middle aged ladies is very comfy. And it is not so bulky that carrying it for just myself doesn't make sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great tentReviewed by MrFantana from Utah on Monday, June 25, 2018I really have loved this tent! Easy to set up and take down. Its a bit snug for a 2 man... but it works. I did have some huge rain storms that caused it to leak at the zipper seams. It was at the same spot on both sides right by the small plastic window. I'm not exactly happy about that, but I just bought a foot print to tie up above when I go where its going to rain a lot. I recommend this tent.

5.0 out of 5 stars. No complaintsReviewed by Wilson from Colorado on Thursday, April 12, 2018I've had this tent for about 3 years and haven't run into any problems. Great tent especially for the price. My dog has been in and out of this tent a million times and it hasn't shown any signs of leaking.

4.0 out of 5 stars. Great valueReviewed by Ss05401 from Burlington VT on Tuesday, September 5, 2017I've had my tent for 5 years and have used it a lot in various conditions. The only downside to it is that the price continues right climb on it. I bought it for $75. This tent will hold up to some serious rain and wind but I've never used it below 40 degrees. In Vermont we see 40-50 regularly in the summer and it's done very well. I'd buy another one if this one wore out, but thankfully they hold up well!

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great Surprises!Reviewed by Anonymous from Portland, OR on Sunday, July 2, 2017I purchased this tent, basically on a whim, a few years ago. This tent hasn't let me down yet! I've used it for bikepacking, backpacking, and car camping with no complaints at all.
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it can withstand rain, leaving a dry spot where the tent once stood, and it dries out pretty quickly with the help of something like a 'Packtowel' microfiber towel.
The way the tent/fly combo is designed is great for keeping warm air in, but never making it muggy inside the tent, because of its vent placement. Even getting out of the tent to use the restroom, I've re-entered the tent and did not feel like there was any loss of heat.
I'm not a gram-weenie in any field so this is a lightweight tent to me as well.
At this price this tent is a great deal. If anything, it's a great "starter" tent for anyone who wants to get into camping! -
5.0 out of 5 stars. Great TentVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Montana on Wednesday, January 18, 2017I am 6 feet 4 inches, so I used this as a 1-Person tent, but it was probably my favorite purchase for the whole season! Nice little design, packs up neatly, and does pretty well in windy weather (its rain fly is a little more aerodynamic than most, so it did not get blown over as easily as the tents of my fellow campers). I used it for about three months camping in many different climates in Montana and it made it through the spring and summer pretty easily. At least for me, and again I am tall, there was not very much head room when I would sit up in the tent, but that was okay for me. Also, sometimes rain would pool on the top of the tent and little spritzes of water would get in, but it was not too bad, and I figured out a system with the guy lines that made it not a big issue, at all. I would sleep diagonal and there was just enough room to stretch out, so that was good. I also very much appreciated the two vestibules, a nice place to put muddy boots for the night. Overall, I am very happy I got this tent! For the very low price I paid on this site due to all the discounts adding up, I would definitely recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars. Great tentReviewed by Nick from Indianapolis on Monday, October 17, 2016Easy to setup, tall enough to sit up in, big enough for two people. Rain cover is bigger than it should be. Can't beat the quality at this price point
