Decent tent that I wanted to like, but the rainfly zipper is trash, failed after just a few uses, and Big Agnes wouldn't fix or replace it. (Big Agnes doesn't honor its own warranty policy.) They wanted me to buy a new tent instead and gave just a small credit for my very good condition gear (other than the damaged rainfly). Hard pass on BA.

Great Little Tent

I have had this tent for about 5 years and it has been great. It is just about as small and light as you can get. I am 6'2" 205lbs and there is plenty of room inside. The vestibule adds more room. It has kept me dry on very rainy nights and I have not had trouble with wind. Pretty easy to set up and take down as well.

good lil light tent
2 months ago
nice tent, light, easy to set up, crams into your pack well. if you find two extra tent stakes people left, the porch feature is actually kinda nice when you actually need to seek shelter in your little coffin with head room. A couple things, if you use a bandana to sweep out your tent the material creates static so dirt will stick to your tent, it's kind of comical. just a quick shake and it falls off. the privacy material I'm not too fond of, would have been better with mesh to the floor. I also feel like black mesh would be better for stargazing when laying in it without the rain fly. overall I like the tent, it's pretty sturdy in the wind for such a light tent keeps the rain out, I think ventilation could be a bit better. Definitely noticed some condensation every night. still enjoy sleeping in this tent more than sleeping at home.

100+ nights, ultralight tough

Not sure why this has no reviews. I used this tent over 100 nights on the CDT 3 years ago, and in the Tetons. Easy to put up, and bullet-proof. Plenty of head space to sit up. I’m 5’7 and I had room for my pack at my feet. Never got wet, and the poles are incredibly strong.
