Pros: - Lightweight. - Best price to weight ratio. Cons: - Not water and weather resistant. - Packs very bulky. - Very poor rainfly design. First I want to begin with the positives about the tent and the company as a whole. I have a 3 person tent from NearZero for about a year now, I took it on multiple hikes and it withstood rainstorms and harsh weather. Its also very well designed and considered a real "ultralight" tent. Compared to well known expensive brands such as Big Agnes, the NearZero tent is relatively lightweight and inexpensive. Now having the perfect experience with the 3 person tent, I decided to buy a lighter 1 person tent from the same brand, making a mistake assuming it would be the same high quality. So the 1 person tent arrived, the shipping was fast. The first thing I noticed is how lightweight but bulky the tent is when packed, its roughly 20 inches long and 5 inches wide when packed. The stuff sack is huge with enough room for even my 3 person tent. The only way to store the tent compactly is to separate the poles from the rest of the tent. I suspect the size is so big because of the tent poles, the company probably reused the same poles from the bigger tent models, making the poles for the 1 person model incredibly long. In fact, its the same length as the poles from my 3 person tent, wich is roughly 20 inches. This huge packed size makes it very difficult to store and travel with. Even cheaper tents from chinese companies pack a lot smaller than this one. This problem could be resolved if the company would properly design a custom pole system for a small 1 person tent instead of lazily reusing the same long poles from larger models. Even though the seize is bulky and inconvenient, it can be compensated by the light weight of the tent. But what cannot be compensated, is the weather resistance of the tent, which im going to talk about now. The overall design of the tent and its form isnt spacial, its not custom designed or anything, its just a copy of the same design you can see on a lot of chinese tents. The tent is very tall and narrow when installed (even taller than my 3 person tent!) making it act like a wind sail and very unstable. But the biggest design failure in this tent is the rainfly. The rainfly for this tent is a half baked afterthought. It doesn't go all the way down to the ground. Its so short, that even when its fully streched out on the tent, it doesn't even fully cover the inner mesh cover, leaving a 2 inch gap between the "bathtub" floor and the rainfly. This design flaw makes the tent unusable even in small rain. The water would pour from the rainfly directly into the tent through the mesh gap. Beside all, the rainfly has only 1 tie node where the door is, thats it. You can't stake the rainfaly to the ground and reinforce it from the sides, especially on the back of the tent there are no tie nodes or ways to properly stretch the rainfly, making the back and sides of the rainfly wobble in the wind and let water in. It's unacceptable for a 250$ tent to have such poor water repelling qualities, the company decided to go full cheap out lazy mode when designing this model. This failure could be avoided if the company would be a little bit more mindful about the design and make the rainfly just 2 inches longer and add some tie loops, thats it! I contacted the company about this issues before writing this review, and got no response, so the customer service is very poor as well. This is the lightest tent you can get for the price, but in my opinion, it still isn't worth it, because of the flaws I mentioned. Better to go with a more expensive properly designed tent from Nemo or Big Agnes. Or buy a much cheaper chinese tent (which will be a bit heavier) but at least it will have tie nodes on all sides and be water resistant as it should be, and still pack smaller. Overall im very disappointed with the product. Now in order to make the tent a little bit rain reaistant, I have to sew by myself custom tie loops to the rainfly. For anyone wishing to buy this tent, I recommend to look at something else.

I didn't know much about this tent but I ordered in anyway based on the favorable whatcampingtent.com reviews and the product description and also the good price. Now that I have it, I really like it! I set it up in my back yard, as you can see from the photos, and it all looks great! The tent has all the features I was looking for, including two large doors, two vestibules, a rain fly that goes all the way to the ground, plenty of room inside, easy setup, etc. It's also very light weight, although I don't plan to actually backpack with it. The overall build quality looks very good as well. I can't speak for its durability since I just got it, but so far I'm very pleased!
