   I assembled the tent indoors to get a sense of it (shown in my photos is the tent sitting atop a twin bed) and overall I’m impressed by the quality, though it seems you’ll only want to be using this in a few specific scenarios. A ground tarp is included, which isn’t mentioned in the instructions but is a great addition and is of notably thicker material. The main structure is mostly mesh (seen in second photo), so you’ll have to use the “rain fly” to cover the entire structure if you want any sort of wind protection, heat retention, or privacy. This limits the versatility and use to fairly good weather conditions. The rainfly doesn’t fully attach to the tent, allowing for good air flow underneath it and through the tent, which can be welcome in some conditions but again limits the range where this tent will apply. The interior is rather cramped, as one might expect for an efficient, lightweight travel single-person tent, but isn’t horrible. Don’t expect to sit upright without the tent material pressing on the sides of your head though. Of note, the design of the tent basically requires that it be staked down and tied up to nearby trunks or branches to attain its full proper shape and volume. This is understandable, if a bit disappointing. Basically, the included poles aren’t enough to keep the tent fully formed and you’ll need to use the included strings if you want the full experience. On the plus side, assembly is quite simple and easy to figure out. I managed to put it together in 5 minutes, despite not realizing the instructions are attached to the inside of the storage pouch! Overall, this is a respectable single-person, lightweight tent for the price. I haven’t tried it out in the wild yet, and it doesn’t appear to be especially heavy-duty, but I expect it will survive at least a handful of uses which makes it a decent value for the price. I’m a bit disappointed that it can’t handle anything but the most accommodating weather, but then I suppose if the climate is the slightest bit cold you’re unlikely to want to sleep solo anyway. It’s also unfortunate that you have to use the ties and poles to get the full volume. Which again is reasonable for the sake of reducing weight and simplifying, but is another detail that makes me not quite willing to give a full 5 stars. Still, I doubt anyone will be disappointed with this tent. I plan to use it this summer, and will give an update to this review if that experience change anything.

   It’s light and me and my husky fit in it comfortably. However it leaks very badly
