Great Tent, Definitely UL
Yes , I recommend this product
aka know and understand what you are buying, how to take care of it, and adjust your expectations. This is not a $250 4 person tent, it is the top of the line ultralight tent. Small for 2 people but I use it for 1 and a dog (all UL 2p tents are small). I'm used to Dyneema tents so this tent is extra delicate but still storm worthing and strong. Great design and typical awesome Big Agnes features. I would give it 4.5 starts but I can't. The only reason I didn't give 5 is because I HATE how the fabric sags when wet but that's ALL sil nylon tents.

Very flimsy. Cheaply made.
No, I do not recommend this product
Stitching & thread is weak. New pegs are getting sharp edges that tear anything in contact.

Excellent UL tent
Yes , I recommend this product
Excellent tent with more pros than cons. If you are looking at this version of the tent than you already know the nit-pickiness in this UL tent market. Everything is as advertised, however i'm with the rest of the concensus in that the material feels very thin and almost fragile. No issues as of yet, and i have put in some work with it.

Best all-around ultralight tent available.
I've found this tent to be absolutely perfect for my backpacking trips. I use it specifically for solo outings. There's plenty of room for me at 6'4", and the dual vestibules provide plenty of space for gear, boots, etc. that don't typically belong in the tent. It is the perfect ultralight tent with durability to not be fragile or unstable. It's free-standing and easy to set up. I wouldn't trade this tent for any other ultralight tent because of the luxuries and extras I enjoy with it at only 2lbs. I highly recommend it!

I would take this out over any other tent
Took this out on a month-long bikepacking trip last year, and it has been my go-to tent since. It's incredibly lightweight, packs down to absolutely nothing, and the dual doors are luxury for an ultra-light shelter. Couldn't recommend more!

Great ultralight backpacking tent
It's a great backpacking tent for a solo trip. Two backpackers are possible, but like any ultralight tent, it is tight when you add a second person. Two vestibules and two doors help a lot.

no
My error, I assumed there would be a overhang like most of your tents. I sure missed having a place to store my puffy and pants when I crawled into my sleeping bag.

Very light tent, perfect for thru hiking
I replaced a single wall, trekking pole tent with this. Easy set up, lots of room. I got so much more tent for not much more weight.
