This tent was an emergency replacement for a beloved 20-year-old backpacking tent that my young pup accidentally broke, so please excuse the comparisons! Overall, there's a lot to like about this tent, especially for the price. The Good: Easy Setup: Setting up is a breeze thanks to color-coded connections and fixed poles. It's so intuitive you likely won't need the instructions—but if you do, they're conveniently sewn into the carrying bag. Excellent Ventilation: Even in hot, humid weather, the tent stays well-ventilated. I was able to open half of each vestibule and still get great airflow. It also worked perfectly for stargazing during the Pleiades meteor shower—I just pulled the rain fly over the top and enjoyed the view. Durable: The tent feels well-made with quality stitching, sturdy zippers, and ripstop polyester material. It also comes with a waterproof floor, which is a big plus. Smart Features: Inside, you'll find plenty of headroom to change clothes, as well as roof and side pockets for small items and a hook for a lantern. The Downsides: Limited Space: The floor space is shorter than I'm used to. At 5'3", I had trouble fitting my pack inside, which was never an issue with my old Mountain Hardware tent. The vestibules are also too small to store a pack or cook in during bad weather. They're only big enough to keep the access doors dry. Tent Pegs: The tent comes with six quality pegs, but you'll need two more to fully peg out the front and back of the rain fly. Without those extra pegs, the inner and outer tents touch, which allows moisture to get through near your head and feet. Heavy: This tent is a bit on the heavy side for serious backpacking. Overall, it's a solid tent, particularly for those on a tight budget.

Good, Sturdy 2-person Tent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I use this tent mainly for backpacking with our dogs. The double vestibules are a big bonus and a good place to store boots and our packs. We haven't experienced a storm, but the rainfly seems robust. Although it's still lightweight, I prefer the thicker material as opposed to some of the other tents on the market where the material seems like Saran wrap. This hits all the right marks for us and we expect to use it for many years to come!

Great 2p Tent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tent has held up great the past 5ish years and is always my go to when compared to other tents I own. My favorite thing about it is how extremely quick and easy it is to setup.

Fun and light adventure ready tent! My 6 year old nephew and I have loved how easy it is to set-up. He is practicing for our first real trip to the woods.
