   There’s a lot of pros to this Fire-Maple 2-person tent! First off, it’s very spacious for a backpacking tent. The tent has a high ceiling throughout and allows you to sit up fully. No more weird hunching you have to do inside. Storage is also well thought out. There’s with deep pockets in all four corners and multiple compartments in the center ceiling. There’s even a central hook for hanging a light or fan, which comes in handy at night. Ventilation seems solid. There are small support stakes at the top that help improve airflow, and once the rainfly is staked out, the sides will get better circulation. That said, I haven’t tested it outside overnight yet, so I can’t fully speak to how it handles condensation in real conditions. Setup was simple and intuitive. I setup the tent solo and didn’t need any instructions. The zippers are smooth and don’t catch. The rainfly doors can be rolled up and secured neatly. The only design flaw I noticed is that the long sides of the tent remain a bit flimsy since there’s no place to add a stake or pole for support. This might not be a big issue once the tent is weighed down with gear and supported along the sides with a sleep pad, but I figured it’s worth noting. Overall, I’m eager to use this tent this summer. I have high hopes it’ll be my go-to freestanding tent due to its functionality and ease of use.

   It took me a long time to review this tent because I wanted to make sure I had a chance to actually use it – not just put it up inside. Here are the things worth noting:
   – easy to set up as a solo camper (and middle aged female)
   – for tent less than 5 pounds, it has an amazing amount of ‘extras’ built in
   – rain flap / sub block = yes!
   – lots of mesh storage to get things out of your way = yes!
   – good ventilation so you don’t feel stuffy = yes!
   – good size interior (can sit up as a tall person) = yes!

   This is a great solo tent for sure – with tons of floor space for all your gear/pack. There is definitely room for two, you just loose floor space.
