All around excellent tent!
Yes , I recommend this product
I love this tent so much that I went out and got the 4 person Meteor, as well. I have been using the Meteor Lite 2 for a few years now and it has not let me down a single time. The biggest test was getting absolutely downpoured on (somewhat) unexpectedly for 20 hours straight. We stayed totally dry. There was a bit of condensation that built up inside of the tent, but honestly what do you expect with 2 people trapped in a tent for 20ish hours? We were able to open up the fly every so often and prop it up with a hiking pole to let some airflow in, but literally zero complaints. I've been backpacking with this tent, car camping, and moto camping. I love rolling up the look at the sky and to be able to take in a sunset without having to get out of the tent - just be sure you're sure it's not gonna rain! There is decent storage, but I do wish there was an overhead pocket. It's not the lightest tent out there, but it is also FAR from the heaviest. I have taken it backpacking a number of times with no issues at all. The vestibules keep rain out very well unless it's splashing off the ground, and this can fit 2 people with 20" wide pads no problem (but there won't be storage space inside the tent outside of your clothes).

Well worth it
Yes , I recommend this product
Sets up easily, enjoy the flexible way to install the rain fly and let in fresh air. Plenty of storage pocket though one up high for a light would have been nice. Good headroom. Easy storage, too.
