Great starter backpacking tent!
11 months ago
This is a great budget backpacking tent. I used it for 2 years. It's easy and quick to set up thanks to the color-coordinated buckles! The main issue I had with it was the size vs the weight. This is one of the smaller 2-person tents out there and the door is front entry, not side. The footprint is sold separately.

Small - low ventilation - but okay for 1 person
1 week ago
The tent interior just doesn’t have enough volume. 2 small adults could possibly make this work, but I’m 5’-9” and a little broad shouldered and just no way 2 of me would be happy. Vestibule is non-existent. Only space for a couple pair of shoes but volume vanishes towards top. Also, some kind of ventilation improvement needs to be made. On a positive note the materials and construction are good quality. Material and stitching very good. Just be aware it’s tight quarters. My purpose is solo car camping and while a twin size inflatable mattress fits, it turns the thing into a bivy. I couldn’t sit upright when that was inflated (7” standard these inflatable) Not a total fail, but needs much improvement.
