I absolutely love this tent. It's perfect for car camping, or bike packing. I even try to use it when backpacking if I can split the weight up with other hikers. Very well built.
I picked this tent up for more car camping and love it, very spacious. On late nights by the fire, my dog often wants to go to bed before us and will scratch at the tent door, we will let him in, but he just gets fomo and wants to come right out. The extended vestibule is perfect for that, he thinks he is in bed and can come and go whenever.
This tent packs small and fits perfectly on top of my saddlebags. Perfect size for 1 plus gear and the fly is perfect for keeping wet gear out of the sleeping area
I love the design and the material. Very roomy for 2 people
