   3 star Seems solid haven’t used it but didn’t receive everything that’s suppose to come with tent. 🙃
   Edit- 2 star After using this tent, i wish it was a little better, it got a little wet from Washington Due so the waterproofing was mid at best. And it was pretty hard to breathe I wish it was like 2 ft longer had better waterproofing and better breathability not sure if it was hard to breathe because I put my equipment above my head. Other than that it’s a good idea. They have a good start to something that’s a good idea.

   This thing is light weight, packs down easily and is so easy to set up.

   It’s waterproof – I was rained on heavily and water did not come through. However, it did pool in places and only time will tell of the waterproofing will last.

   Condensation – it was 3oc so condensation is to be expected. My sleeping bag was slightly damp – specifically down at my feet – but not damp enough to make it through the outer layer of my sleeping bag.

   All in all its well made, you can sleep under the stars, and it will be more than satisfactory as a 3 season tent/shelter option.

   Waterproof, easy to set up, stealth, not to many place in feet area. In general 4+ on 5.

   Lightweight and easy to assemble.. yes. Waterproof.. not at all. This tent is about as water resistant/proof as a paper bag.

   Product isn’t bad. It does not come with tent
   stakes. As well I used it outside in Hawaii and it rained on us for about 4 hrs. After about the first hour the rain started leaking through the material.

   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.

   ビビィとしてはそれほど軽くないのでULの人は選ばないであろうが、自分はミニバイクでのキャンプツーリング時に積載を減らす目的で選択。テントよりも自然に近く、野営時にも目立たず良い。

   中は思いのほか広く、寝転んでの読書くらいは快適にできる。寝返りもストレスもなく可能。
   頭部で1本、足元に2本ペグダウンすることで頭部の空間はきれいに立ち上がる。ペグダウンできなくても、頭の上に重たいものを置けば自立はする。
   キャンプで10泊ほど使用したが設営・撤収ともに早く、冬は空間が小さく温か、夏もメッシュで快適、シンプルさをとても気に入っている。

   しかし防水性能は期待しない方が良い。雨の日に庭でテストしたところ、2時間後には中に浸水していた。
   実際に中に人間がいて、ビビィの足元がこんもりと立ち上がっていれば、水が本体上にとどまらずもう少し違ったかもしれないが、雨の可能性があればタープは必須と思われる。（商品ページにある”天気予報を恐れる必要なし”というのはちょっと無理があるんじゃないかな）

   Didn’t receive tent pegs but willing to overlook since I have several of my own. Would have given 5 stars but for that.
