Great lightweight tent
3 months ago
I wanted a very lightweight backpacking tent that didn't cost a fortune. I have a couple of backpacking tents but they are heavier. This one is SUPER lightweight and compacts down pretty small. I was pretty apprehensive of going from a freestanding style to a semi-freestanding, but I used the tent this weekend and it was great! It might be ever-so-slightly smaller on the outer edges near the foot of the tent but as long as you properly stake it out, you'll still have plenty of room. I know some people don't like just having one door at the front of the tent, but I think I would almost prefer to have a front entrance--super quick and easy entry and exit when staked out properly. I was staying in it solo, though, so I could see that it might be more difficult to maneuver around if you actually have two people in the tent. It does seem pretty delicate so that's one of the reasons I'm not giving a perfect score. Another reason is because I'm not a huge fan of the stakes--they're not the typical hook stake, it has tiny notches that you have to fit the strings in at just the right place and angle (it's like the MSR ground hog stake). I had the strings pop off a couple of times when setting it up. I fear that if the winds are really great, that it would be possible for the tent and/or fly to become detached from the stake. Also, I used every single stake that was included in order to properly stake out the tent. I usually have a couple of extras but I did not for this one. But for the price and the weight--I don't think it can be beat!
