Lightweight, easy to set up and comfortable.
Yes , I recommend this product
Took this backpacking for the first time last weekend and it held up well in the light rain and high winds. I took longer stakes because of a wind advisory and those MSR groundhog stakes did great, but the included Nemo stakes (while nice compared to others) got pulled out of the ground by the wind. Granted, I'm no expert, so it could have been my user error, you know? No leaks and no condensation. And while I was concerned about wind blowing rain under the scalloped rain fly, the tent held well. I love how light the tent is but it still feels solid enough that I don't treat it like it's fragile. The two doors and vestibules are pretty great and the height was comfortable where I could sit up and change and hang out inside while allowing the rain to pass. Two people would be tight in this tent. I got it mainly for one person, but fitting two in a pinch for Scouting activities. Set up is easy because the hooks are color coded to match the poles, and one side is for the head and the other end is for the foot, though in the wind it's a big challenging to get that rainfly on. I like the locking system they use to connect the rainfly to the tent. Seems thoughtful and high quality. While it would have been great for it to be freestanding, I wanted something lightweight and am glad to give up some of that structure to save the ounces. Overall, as a newbie backpacker, I really like this tent!

Cross country bicycle trip coming summer.
Been a while since I backpacked - but needed a light weight tent for a bicycle self supported trip this coming Summer from Oregon to North Carolina - I new about Nemo and chose it for it's pack size and weight. I am very impressed with the new technology and roomier interior - I'm sure this will suit me just fine.
