pleasantly surprised
Yes , I recommend this product
For an inexpensive ultralight, this tent seems well designed and constructed. Pros: With the REI Labor Day sale, the final price was less than the cost of the materials True to size Easy setup with my trekking poles Full coverage fly pitches taut Two closable peak vents with bug mesh 6” stiffeners at each corner of inner net to give a little more interior room 10 small aluminum Y stakes, 4 guylines, and repair patches included in stake bag Cons: There are lighter ultralights out there 3.5 total pounds with stakes and bags Headroom is a little tight Fabric has flame retardant Gray fly is drab - I prefer a cheery yellow when hunkering down in the rain, or trying to find the tent in the dark
