   This is probably the easiest tent I’ve ever set up. I camp alone and took me about 5 minutes to unpack and have it ready to sleep in. I like the design. It’s well ventilated.

   My last tent of this type was a North Face VE-23 Skeeter. That was a great, durable tent. This tent reminds me of the VE-23 in many areas except durability. This tent is actually easier to set up, it is a bit smaller inside but there is two vestibules so it works.

   The big difference is the zippers, this tent’s zippers are suspect at best. The zippers are self healing so after a zipper failure I was able to get everything fixed.

   Truthfully this tent was bought over 35 years after the VE-23 and this tent was about 1/3 of the price. I bought it because it was cheap and my expectations were very low and I was impressed with what I got for the money.

   I would recommend this tent for the budget minded camper and backpacker.

   Two important qualities of any tent that you’re using on a hiking trip is how compact / light it is for carrying and how quickly & easily it comes up and folds back down. This tent gets high marks on both. Without looking at instructions and on first attempt, it took me just over 7 minutes to put up. (The photo shown is without the extra outside layer but it did come with that piece and guessing that would go up in just a minute or two at most.) It might be a snug fit for two full sized adults, especially if you have bags inside. But is more than enough room for a single adult plus gear. It has adequate egress on both sides and good ventilation. It’s hard for me to speak to durability except that the tent material, clips, poles and stakes all seem decent quality and would expect this to last many years with proper care. Very good tent for the money!

   For being an experienced hiker and camper, I was very pleased with this tent. Lightweight, nice design and quality. It was easy to setup, and I love the fact that the rain fly can be completely removed for warm evenings. I was able to fit a double sized air mattress with ease and still had room. The zipper is durable, although I did zip into the material once or twice. We’ll worth the money!⭐️

   This is a very nice tent. More than adequate space for two people and their gear, an extremely spacious tent for one person. Very effective insect net. I prefer this type of tent to the ones with all those tent poles. The downside is this, to me, is not a backpacking tent due to size and weight. Great tent, especially if you don’t have to carry it in your pack.

   Really easy to set up. Compact and lightweight. Thankfully it is very good in the rain if properly staked. A surprise late thunderstorm blew some tents down, but I was dry and comfortable inside. The front and rear zip entrances are handy, with the front useful as a canopy. Good purchase.

   Nice tent even with the rain fly issue . Hope it was just a bad stitch in that area, used on 3 more trips and had no issues

   Easy to put together the material is very well done zippers move, very streamlined and comfortable. I’d say for one person, but you could fit to if you don’t want extra space. I definitely recommend!

   Not at all like description. Cheap. But effective. Held out the light rain.

    I bought this for a trip that was ultimately canceled so it didn’t see the outdoors. I set it up to make sure all the components were included, which they were. It is on the small side as I am 6’1″. It would work if I slept at a diagonal and had a bit of room left for gear. I ended up buying a Kelty after I read about some waterproofing issues on this model.
