Missing pieces, no instruction manual, a corner spike loop is detaching, not waterproof. + It seems like there are pieces missing. 5 Al tent spikes, bivy tent, 1 elastic tent pole, and 3 containment bags. There are more loops on the tent, seemingly vacant of tent poles or something. + No instruction manual. + After 3 hours of completed placement, the right foot-end loop is detaching from the bivy corner. Wind 5 mph. +Waterproofing disproven. Rain resistant, yes; not proofed. Also, water from ambient humidity enters vent, then coolness condenses the water upon fabric and everything in bivy. Nothing is waterproof. If it is, then it is insufficiently ventilated. Day 1, env. conditions: 74°F, Sunny, not a single cloud, very windy gusts (15-20mph max) to none, Texas, nonwet hard-sand ground. Unwrapped tent and components. Pushed 1 tent pole through loops into ground. Solid. Continued to the 4 remaining. Solid, absolutely. Pushed through 1 elastic structural pole. A bit nervous it might break. Solid. Unzipped, entered, layed down, dwelled for 30 minutes. Windy cndtns failed to remove planted spikes, ventilation is adequate, given my locale under the unshaded direct Texas winter sun. May need a pad to protect floor from rocks, sticks, or some other unseen or wind-driven object arriving underneath. Observing floor, noticed the structural support strap - assumingly engineered to absorb the force from the structural pole - is not absorbing all the tension from the pole. The force is also transferred to the floor membrane. Hopefully the joints' reinforcement tape and seems will hold over time. I like the presence of integral mosquito net, ventilation, minimalistic volume, low weight, and stealthy color. I do believe their should be closeable vents at the foot, for a wind-tunnel effect on hot days, and shut in those cold. Day 22, env con: Range ~(60,85)°F (sunny,drizzle) [~(0,35)MPH (Constant,jerking)]winds (Day,Night) Texas, semi-hard sand. Spiders prefer housing beneath the flaps, but for some reason not the vent. Good thing for the bug net AND rain flap cover with double zipper. Leave you rain flap open during sun drenched hours to dry innards, close before sundown to prevent or reduce innards' water condesates from accumulating. All seems holding after at least 3 long events of gale force winds and gusts. Hard mat or footprint required. About my area are grassy sprouts of hard, spikey grass shoots. A doublefolded tarp, properly placed, was nominal for diverting shoots from hole poking the bivy bottom. I would suggest selling this tent to include a simple roll of hard durable plastic. Increased price, of course, but worth the cost of searching for a hard plastic roll on my own with no results. Maybe like an HDPE roll of thickness 1/16 or 1/8 with length and width exact to bivy bottom. I am not an engineer, just a thinker. Day 100 It's hot AF in bivy during day. Tonight, being surprisingly cool, is still hot in this bivy. Can't get any ventilation, without a wide open flap. Open flap exposes my skin onto the integral bug net, which lies directly on skin. Skeeters bite through net. What does that mean for spiders and ticks...? The rubber bottom rubs off with every shifting movement, leaving little rubber "rolling pins" everywhere. I'll very likely just buy a single person Walmart tent. Vibrant colors, but at least I'll reduce the chance for catching disease or a necrotic spider bite. Walmart single person tent is soooo much better. Verily.

Very disappointed that I was sent a used item when it is listed as new. Was going to do a test fit with my tent and found this thing is filthy.

We are very light skinned people who love the beach. Bad combo without a shelter and keeping the thing in place is always a struggle. We thought we had it solved and then I ended up grabbed what we were sure was a solidly staked out canopy just before it hit some other people. I was at a loss and ran across these little stakes. I almost bought the big ones because I'm just at a loss but some other review swore that the small ones will work. They are fantastic. We used them to stake out a tent on a camping trip to Dry Tortugas National Park. It stormed every night and not a bit of trouble with the tent. I couldn't find a picture of the tent so the one I attached is where we found our beach float one morning. I'm getting these for all the outdoor people in my life for Christmas this year.
