Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this tent after spending countless hours researching tents, crawling in and out of them, comparing features, and studying set up and weight. This product came in under cost for what I had planned on spending, and I have gotten a chance to test it in fairly poor weather conditions. This tent weighs about 2 pounds 12 ounces. I immediately ditched the steel stakes it came with and chose to use 3 lightweight aluminum stakes instead. One for the vestibule, two for the corners on the opposite side of the tent. This held well in winds 5-10 miles per hour in both tests, I have not tested it above these conditions. It is small. I am 6'3" 200 pounds and there was not much extra room inside. That being said I was extremely comfortable. The smaller size allowed my body temperature to heat the inside fairly quickly. I used a thermarest self inflating pad large sized inside, with a quilt and a blanket in 34 degree Fahrenheit temperatures and was warm all night. Setup and take down is incredibly easy, and can be done in under two minutes. During test #2, it rained/snowed all night. A footprint is a must. Water did come through the bottom of the tent without one, but my mattress kept me off the ground. It did not pool through, but moisture did come through the floor. There are two vents at the top of this tent that help to reduce condensation, as well as four loops up top you can string oaracord through to hang things like socks to dry. The vestibule was big enough I could put my kelty coyote 85 liter off to one side and still had enough room to get in and out of the tent. As I continue to use this tent through upcoming trips I will add to this review if needed. For the price, features, and performance so far, this is the best bang For the buck especially if you're on a budget. Happy camping, feel free to message me with any questions. And ditch those heavy steel stakes.
