Love this tent!

Super spacious, easy to set up, very lightweight. I like that the sidewalls are more vertical, which is what I was looking for compared to my previous tents. I use this tent for casual car camping, mostly solo but I would feel very comfortable sharing the space with someone and have room to spare for gear. Holds up well in moderate wind and rain. Can't recommend enough!

Comfortable tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tent is great and roomy. I like the light colors, and the build quality, the poles especially, is amazing. The connections to the ground sheet is super robust. Got it, as the price fit me nicely compared to a like the MSR ones. The included 10 steel stakes are waaaay to heavy for a backpacking tent, but i swapped them out for 5 cheap and light alu ones before use. It does pack up quite bulky. I strap it on the outside of my backpack, but if you want it inside your pack, it will take up quite a bit of room.

Good tent. Massive for a 2 person. Could easily fit 3.

Great tent. Easy ish set up. I managed to get the poles twisted (as they are attached at the cross at the top). Of course I didn't read the instructions. The small tent pole fits well atop the others to improve the offset of the rain fly. Maybe better if the poles were in three pieces but the tent is easily set up following one corner to the next. Happy red tabs assure you are on track from the start with the footprint, tent and rain fly.

Perfect solo or 2-person camping tent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this tent. I'm not an ultralite backpacker so I don't need something extremely light, but it's still light enough and easy enough to set up that it's ideal to take around to various places. I also love the door and vestibule setup. It seems perfect for two people or one person with extra room. Great color too!
