This is a great little inexpensive and lightweight option for a backpacking shelter. I am 6’1” and have been comfortable sleeping in this tent on a pad with a sleeping bag. Back sleepers can enjoy really breezy star-gazing evenings with the rain fly rolled back. Cons are lack of pack storage for a tall person and an uncomfortable tent entry/exit directly into weather. This holds up well to rain and wind when tied down properly. It takes 9 tent stakes to properly stake this out, which takes a few minutes. The stakes provided are very heavy, so for a few extra dollars this tent can be made much lighter. Overall, I really love this shelter.

This tent is perfect for backpacking. Small and lightweight. The tent is easy to set up and has sufficient room. It did rain the first day of the hike and did stay dry on the inside. But on the second day in the heat of the day (only about 80deg.) The tent poles seemed to bend at the metal couplings and broke in two places. The mat'l that the poles are made of does not seem to do well in the heat. If this tent came with better poles it would be a great small tent. Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this tent. tapel02

I bought this tent specifically for it's weight/size allowing it to be stowed in my backpack. Worked out perfect. The tent assembles and takes down quickly. I like the versatility of having a rainfly for those damp days or rolling it back and having an open mesh to the starry sky. I found entering the tent through the top zippered mesh with the fly rolled back much easier than thru the front entrance. Too bad you can't put the fly in place after entering from the top. The only real downside I've encountered is the support poles seem a bit difficult to insert and take out due to the their and the tent's design. They tend to snap on the seams and require some fiddling to get them to pass through. Otherwise, it does exactly what I wanted as a very reasonable price. I'v eused it 5 times so we'll see over time how it holds up.Read full review
This model has served me very well in several environments: wet-windy Adak, Alaska; -5° in the Cascades; and all the pleasant weather too. Other bivy tents don't breathe as well as this model. Stake it tightly and the screen top (under rain fly) keeps enough air exchanging to reduce condensation. Careful with the poles though...just had one break in cold weather: Johnson Outdoors sells replacement for $17 each, but that doesn't help until the NEXT trip. New model has aluminum instead of fiberglass poles. I recommend this tent, just be gentle when bending the poles, especially near 0° F; I'm gonna warm mine with bodyheat next time before bending...just to be safe.

I love the fact that is lightweight just wish the polls were a little shorter cut to fit inside my day bag other than that no complaints it's going to make a great weekend hunt for my kayak Adventures where or the amount of weight matters a lot when you're carrying it around
