[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality and ease of this tent is amazing. The perfect pitch every time. If you're looking to get into ultralight or switching from rocking a hammock -> this is the way to go. Tested hard on a thru hike with two of the 8 days a complete soak out, the inside of the tent stayed absolutely dry. Even when you think you picked the perfect spot, 1 &1/2” of rain changes things. Using the fly and BA’s footprint, you can quickly set that up to gather yourself saving all the crap in your pack and keeping the inside tent dry to set up. Never be wet and try to sleep @ 40 degrees. The hang dry time is fantastic and packs down easy every time with the provided sacks that hold up great in your pack or very securely on your bike. There’s plenty of room & storage inside and out to divide your clean ( dry clothes/ electronics/ etc ) stuff & your dirty (just funky) stuff. In a pinch you could fit 2 people but it’s perfect for you, all your gear, and maybe a dog. Anyone that’s been out 5+ days of hitting hard backcountry knows it doesn’t smell peachy- no need to x2. I can’t say enough about the easy of setting up and breaking down. It almost want to put itself together, the rods with act like a Transformer once you get them going and the buckles/tie downs leave you with a nice strong tent. Got a bunch of dirt and leaves inside, no worries -just grab the frame attached to the tent, leave a vestibule open and lightly shake that out. Go easy with the zippers, stay away from open flames, watch for sharpe rocks/ thorns, clean with recommended soap, and this tent should be a winner for many years of adventure!
