This review is for the three-season version of the tent - just first impressions for now. For the TL;DR crowd: If you're looking for a good value, well made, lightweight (1.15 kg / 2.5 lb) tent in the <$200 price range, you would be hard pressed to find a better value. It does require two trekking poles, so keep this in mind. Also, it's probably best to consider this a 1-person + pack tent rather than a 2-person tent. Detailed Review: I bought this tent in anticipation of hiking the AT. I also plan to use it for shorter section hikes, kayaking trips, and possible biking trips. What I was primarily looking for: - large enough for me and my backpack inside the tent (i.e., 2-person) - good ventilation - lightweight, but not necessarily ultralight - affordable This tent checks off everything. Interior size: I measured the interior of the tent at 44" wide by 84" long, which is big enough to comfortably fit a sleeping pad+bag and a pack. This would be a bit of a tight squeeze for two people. I measured the interior height of the tent at 44" - I set the trekking poles to a height that kept the sides of the tent low to the ground because of rain and wind - they could easily be set to 2" higher if needed (I'm pretty short, so I don't need much headroom.. 😉 Ventilation: the tent is a double-wall construction - essentially, a tent within a tent. The outer rain fly is 15D nylon and waterproof. The inner tent is primarily mesh construction with a small 20D nylon bathtub floor. This part of the tent clips to the top and sides, but hangs away from the rain fly walls, which allows air to circulate freely between the two and helps keep condensation from dripping down into the tent. Because the tent has both front and rear openings, it is easy to adjust the front flaps to allow as much or as little air flow / cross ventilation as you would like. Weight: The entire kit - tent, stakes, ropes, and bags - came in at 1150 grams on my digital scale, which is 2.5 lbs. It's probably worth mentioning again that part of the weight savings comes from using trekking poles as the frame. If you're not a trekking pole user, this may or may not be the tent for you. Cost: <$200 as of the time of this review. Things I like: - Vestibules: the tent has two vestibules that aren't huge, but more than roomy enough to store a pack and boots outside the tent and still keep them from getting wet in rain or dew. They are also more than ample to set up a cook stove for that first cup of coffee in the morning. The vestibule area is triangular and roughly 7' long and 3' at the widest in the center. - Dual zippers: huge plus for this - both the front and rear zippered entry way have dual zippers, which means that you can open them from either the top or the bottom. If you keep things in the vestibule and want to get to them quickly without letting a cloud of bugs in, you can open just the bottom of the doorway and grab your stuff. - Rain fly: I really like the fact that you can pitch the tent so that the edges of the rain fly sit close to the ground. In heavy rain, this directs the water away from the bathtub and helps keep water from collecting under your tent - especially if there is significant wind. - Pack size: the tent comes with a lightweight compression sack, which helps keep the pack size of the tent system pretty small. If you're using a 50L or smaller pack, you'll appreciate the space savings. Hacks: - The only hack I've done so far is to swap out the two front and rear tent stakes for slightly longer ones. The tent comes with 8 stakes that are 6" long. These seem to be adequate for the four corners of the tent as well as the guy lines on either side that help pull the walls out. However, there is a good deal more tension on the front and rear stakes that do most of the work of holding the tent up. I decided to go with a couple 7.5" stakes, which come in at 16 g each - only 5 g heavier than the small stakes that come with the tent. - I am a bit concerned about the longevity of the bathtub floor - it's only 20D nylon and pretty lightweight. I decided to use a Tyvek footprint, which I purchased from Six Moons. I went with the heavy, "house wrap" version. As absolutely everyone points out: it is LOUD. I ran it through the washing machine a couple times and then used a warm iron to get rid of the worst of the wrinkles. That made a huge difference in terms of noise. Rain and condensation: I did a bit of camping in my backyard - it rained pretty heavily for a couple days during that time. The tent was completely dry inside. Not a drop of water anywhere. I also spent the night when temps dropped down into the low 50's. There was a bit of condensation on the under-surface of the rain fly, but absolutely no water in the tent or on the mesh walls. The foot of my sleeping bag, where it touched the tent wall, was completely dry. The instructions that come with the tent are pretty minimalist, but it does appear that the three season version is seam sealed at the factory. Pitching the tent: Pretty easy actually: - lay out the footprint - roll out the tent - stake out the four corners - insert one trekking pole (front or rear) and stake out the guy line - insert the other trekking pole and stake out that guy line - stake out the guy lines for the two sides - attach the elastic cords (attached to the four corners of the bathtub floor) to the tent stakes Easy peasy. This takes about 5 minutes to set up. And what is hugely helpful is that the inner mesh tent is clipped to the rain fly, so it sets up just like a single wall tent. If you have the misfortune of setting up in pouring rain, you'll be hugely grateful that the inner tent is protected. Many dual-walled tents, in comparison, require completely setting up the inner tent and only then can you attach the rain fly. BTW, I recently watched a YouTube video review on budget lightweight backpacking tents and the creator mentioned that trekking pole tents are for more advanced users. That's utter nonsense. Even if you're a beginner, with a bit of practice you can master this pretty quickly. The truth is: you stake out the four corners, insert and guy out two trekking poles at the front and rear, and guy out the two sides. It really, _really_ is that simple. Initial impressions: All in all, I am hugely pleased with this tent. It's easy to set up, lightweight, packs down small, is easy to set up, provides excellent ventilation, and keeps everything dry without the issues of condensation that plague single-walled tents. At a cost of under $200, it is a very good deal and, so far, I would recommend it without qualification. Longevity: Only time will tell. I'll post an update once I have a better idea as to how this holds up. Good luck!
