 If it always rains on you... THIS is the tent you want!! Jun 06, 2010
I think this is absolutely the best tent ever!!
Waterproof: Almost every time I go camping it rains. My husband knows this, so when it was time for us to buy our own tent, he got me this one (and not just because I like purple/blue). By now I consider myself an "expert" on rain-flys and spotting what will and will not keep people inside the tent dry. True to my experiences, every time (except once) we've used this tent, it has rained- and we have never once gotten wet in this tent (as compared with the 3+ tents I had shared with friends)!
View: The one time we camped at the beach (Assateague Island), rain wasn't in the forecast at all, so we took a chance and left the rainfly off. It was amazing! It felt like we were outside and had an amazing view out (while people couldn't see us if we were laying down). The stars were FANTASTIC!
Set Up: Its soooooo easy. This tent only has two poles, so there isn't much to mess up.
Size: My husband and I are both over 6' (and under 160 lbs) and we fit fine, even having room at the end or beside me for a duffel bag. The attic does take up some headroom, but its totally worth it!! I can store my camera and birth control and more up there and not have to worry about them getting crushed in the tent. This last trip I also stored our keys, his wallet, and a head-light up there.
Weight: Not bad, but we have never backpacked with this tent, so I'm sorry but I can't say for sure.
If you are looking for a GREAT tent for 2 people that will keep you DRY, this is definitely what you want!!! I HIGHLY recommend it!
Great entry level back country tent May 16, 2009
I bought four of these for backup tents for the scouts. They are well designed and weather quite well in very rough rain due to the full rain cover that reaches to the ground all around. My guys who were in these tents were all in great shape after a particularly bad night of storms and actually faired much better than some of the campers in much more expensive Kelty and Northface equipment.
The two vestibules and doors are great. The weight is fine for two when the tent is divided between two hikers. Room is a bit tight for a tall man though unless you turn diagonally as I have tested it which was fine for me solo. Very good and light aluminum poles and an easy setup are features of this tent usually found only on much higher priced tents. I highly recommend this tent for anyone considering backcountry or motorcycle camping where a tight budget for quality equipment is an issue.

 SMALL SMALL SMALL Jul 14, 2008
This is a very nice tent...but to be honest, it shouldn't be billed as a two-sleeper, unless you are very very close with your partner.
If there are two of you and you are both near 6ft tall, this just won't do. You might as well just forget it because it's WAY too small for the both of you. Even if you have absolutely minimal gear and backpacks are very small, there still isn't much room. The description and photos make this clear but the desire for a small, light tent might make you try this but it's just too small (especially for $99). If you are only going by yourself and you are near or over 6ft tall, I'd still reconsider because you will only be able to crawl in and lay down,even stooping isn't an option. Nice tent, nice design, but really not for taller people, and certainly not for two.

Good Tent Mar 10, 2008
This tent took me less than 15 minutes to set up - I'm a girl that has little to no tent assembly experience! it's definitely for two people with no extra room for "stuff," so if you're looking for a large two-person tent you'd better go with a three or four person tent. there's just enough space for two sleeping bags. Very nice tent - I haven't tested it through rain yet but it seems durable.

 Good, but not floored Nov 25, 2007
I use tents in the desert at Fort Irwin, and use a Bradley tarp underneath. Even with the tarp, after about 10 nights total spent in the tent, the floor already has holes in it. The floor material is just too thin. I cannot even see how the material of the floor would ever hold up to wet weather if you didn't use a tarp underneath. I should say I am conscientious about putting my boots in the vestibule, but still - that floor material is just way too thin.
