   I have ordered this tent last year September/October. So fare I have used it a lot of times, in pouring rain, and in sunshine. I have to say, in my personal fiew, it’s the best tent I have ever had, and fits perfectly to my needs. Often I used it on my own, so I could do my very big backpack inside aswell, but I also used it several times with a second person, so we could do our stuff each in the space bettween the inside and the outside tent. It’s a perfect tent to have. You can see the stars, when you open the window/windows, or even not use the outside tent at all. With the outside tent, it was still dry inside after days of pouring rain. Also strong scottish wind was not a matter, when you use all the strings at the tent. You can clip the doors practicly in the side, to keep it open. Building up the tent is very fast and easy! You have to build up the inside tent at first. That can be a bit bad when it rains, but I had a small towel with me to dry the floor again, after I have buildet it up. So also this wasn’t a big problem! I only can highly recommend it. One of the friends who has used it with me, also has ordered it now and is very happy!!

   I used this tent on a recent camping trip. It’s incredibly easy to set up – I was able to do so by myself in less than 30 minutes, including setting up the guy lines. It did keep me dry in very misty, cold, and humid conditions, but the condensation on the inside of the flap at the front was bothersome when getting in and out of the tent. Definitely would be best suited for summer camping. It was big enough for me and some gear. I wouldn’t want to share it with someone else as it would be a tight fit. Maybe good for two younger kids. Definitely recommend getting a tent footprint if you’re not setting up on grass or the like. Updated 12/1/2020: A small flaw I’ve used this tent on about a dozen trips and it’s held up very well. Recently had a pretty rainy one and there were two very small leaks around the toggles that hold up the front door flap. I plan on sealing them up and continuing to use it. I’ll be adding some waterproofing spray as well to bump up the water repellant factor. The small vestibule created by the front door is great for keeping your shoes dry. I did bend one of the tent poles when I fell on the tent but that was my fault. Getting replacement poles. Still a great value for the money and perfect for the solo adult camper. Upgrading to 5 stars because of the durability and performance. Updated 3/11/2021: Customer Service I contacted MoonLence to see if I could buy replacement poles, as the ones I tried getting off whatcampingtent.com were all just slightly too short. They replaced the entire tent! I was rendered speechless when I opened the box. It’s been over a year since I bought it. Amazing! Updated 6/3/2021: Improvements on the new version I’ve had the replacement tent out on a few trips now and I can say that they have made some improvements. The rainfly is now secured to the tent poles with ties rather than velcro. This means the fly is more secure and doesn’t move around as much in the wind. They also added some seam tape around the toggles that hold up the front door flap, so there’s no need to add extra sealant there. I had this tent out in a severe thunderstorm with zero leaks and no other problems whatsoever. I continue to be impressed by the quality for such a reasonable price. The only reason why I will buy another tent is because I need a lighter one for backpacking, but I will definitely keep the MoonLence for car camping. TL;DR – Don’t hesitate to buy this tent.

   Abgesehen vom kleinen Riss im Innennetz, top Zelt. Nächste Saison kann kommen 😉 Es geht super schnell aufzubauen, es ist sehr leicht und kompakt gepackt. Innen massig Platz (für mich 2m Mann). guter kauf, schade dass das netz einen schaden hat. aber ja kein gravierender fehler

   Fairly spacious 2-person tent, not of highest quality, but great customer service I am an avid hiker, camper, and wilderness backpacker and regularly organize camping events for as many as 45 participants. Tents I have purchased in the past were made by Sierra Designs, Big Agnes, MSR, REI, Columbia, and less expensive ones like Coleman, depending on the purpose of the trip. For backpacking, weight is a concern as my pack can get as heavy as 75 lbs for extended trips, and as such I own a Big Agnes one designed specifically for the backcountry. However, they are also very expensive at $300+, and can be offputting for casual trekkers. I was asked to recommend a cheaper one (less than $100) for a couple, and so I set out to try this Moon Lence one. PROS – Quite spacious capacity for a 2-person tent – Two entrances on each end – Quick to set up – Lightweight enough at 5.2 lbs for backpacking, though my $450 Big Agnes tent is only 3 lbs – Fairly compact (18″ x 6″ x 6″ packed, 87″ x 55″ x 47″ set up) – Mesh pocket to store items off the ground – Hooks to keep open the doors – Ceiling hook to hang a lantern/fan from – Solid rainfly – Great color scheme (I purchased the Orange one) – Great ventilation in the upper parts, but lacking at the floor level – Door zippers were easy to open/close – Instructions provided in the carry case CONS – Material is not as good as the $300+ tents – Ventilation is non-existent on the floor level – There was a tear in one of the mesh windows, and upon contacting customer service, they sent me a replacement within a few days. They handled the issue quickly and nicely – Footprint not included (most tents don’t). If you get one, be sure it is not larger than the tent itself so water won’t pool up – Instructions provided in the carry case shows Step 3 for a tent that is different than the one received TIPS – Keep the footprint smaller than the size of the tent to keep the rain water from pooling – Ensure the tent is not twisted where the stakes are. A twisted area can help rain water enter the tent Overall, the tent is small and light enough to take backpacking for 2 people. It is surprisingly spacious, and although the material does not compare to my Big Agnes that costs over 4x more, I expect it to hold up well enough for casual trekking. Customer service was great at taking care of the torn mesh with a quick replacement.
