An all-around awesome tent
Great tent. Especially for the price. Lightweight yet roomy enough for one person to sleep comfortably in any position. The large vestibule is an essential feature on this tent. It allows me to store my large 65 Liter pack in the vestibule while i'm sleeping as well as any extra gear I need to store. It has three mesh stash pockets inside the tent, one is suspended above the head area and removable as a gear loft. Another essential feature in this tent is the mesh walls. The two side walls and the back wall are mesh, as well as the doorway. Which allows for ventilation during those hot summer days (very important.) But it's not 100% mesh walls so it does provide good wind coverage and insulation for winter or cold weather as well. The rain fly is great, very durable and quality sealed. It buckles to each corner and has adjustable tension straps for quick setup, removal and adjustment of the rain fly. The zippper is good, smooth and quiet. The poles are made of sturdy aluminum with a nice color to them, and the tent is very fast and easy to set up and take down. The only thing I would say I would change about this tent is the floor being pretty thin material. It would be nice if the floor was coated a little thicker or made of more durable material. But I can see how it makes the tent lighter. There is also a "Floor Saver" footprint for this tent, for about $20-$30, which is just a gimick in my opinion. You can just go to the local fabric store and buy coated ripstop nylon by the yard and make your own footprint for a more reasonable price. All in all, this is a great tent for the money, good design and plenty of room for one person to sleep comfortably in and have all of their gear safely stored and protected within the unit. I also like the color scheme of this model.
The total weight of this tent, rainfly, poles, guy lines and 5 stakes is 3.75 lb. Which makes it nice and lightweight for backpacking.
