I used this for a two week backpacking trip. It was fantastic. I have several other lightweight tents but this one became my favorite. Packing the poles separate from the tent it fits in the backpack very well without taking up much space. It’s fast to put up and take down. Drys fast if it gets wet.
Wanted something light but solid for a week long trip to the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. The tent was not only fantastic but it stood up to an intense severe thunderstorm. 60 mph winds, 2/3's of an inch of rain, a river of water running under the tent, but I stayed dry inside. My only complaint is I wish the rain fly doors tied up better than they do for the nicer weather.
