   Nice quality lightweight tent. Enough space for 2 adults and a toddler. Very easy to set up ( no instructions needed). Would recommend getting a tarpaulin for it.

   This is just based on first impressions as have not actually used overnight or on the trail yet and just an initial setup. I will update this once it’s gotten some usage. I provide workshops to beginner and novice backpackers who are just getting started or interested in backpacking and one of the biggest questions is how much does this cost? Obviously most people are not going to go out and spend oodles of money on something they don’t know they are going to like, so I started putting together several modest budget kits to see what could be done for under $500 and selected this tent as an option. Experienced hikers/backpackers – This is NOT ultralight. I have several 2lb 2-person tents (SMD Haven, Big Agnes TigerWall 2) and I chose this one based on whatcampingtent.com reviews, the listed weight and size, and that it is free-standing which is easier for beginners. For those starting out and fully 2 person tent, it’s 5.1 lbs according to my scale (Seller lists as 5.5lb) and this could be stripped down a bit more by swapping out lighter bags (or no bags) for stakes and pole, reducing # of stakes and/or replacing the stakes. I’ll have to do more weighing but here is what my scale came up with: Alum Stakes + 4 guy lines in sack: 7 oz. Alum Pole in sack: 14 oz. Fly: 28 oz. Body: 32 oz Total (minus stuff sack): 81oz – 5.09 lb Setup was super easy, I specifically picked this tent because the inner tent clips on to the poles and had a single pole (double-Y) design. The elastic on the pole was just right so that a couple shakes and the pole almost self-assembled. The Y connectors are solid alum disks like on most high-end tents of similar designs and at 14 oz. respectable given the size and space provided by having a cross pole in the center opening the living space. The pole sections are short (10-12 inches) making them fit easier in a pack and the joints have a 1.5-2″ connectors for strength and stability. The material is obviously heavier than ultralight tents but they have done a good job of mixing material weights where most needed with heavier (Floor and fly) and lighter (Walls and mesh). There was some less refined edges (fraying material that wasn’t trapped in seams or heated) and while the fly is fully seam taped, only the bathtub floor is with side wall seams not (see pictures). The fly comes all the way to the ground, but it wouldn’t take much to seal all the seams and for the price, you could easily do this yourself. Only field testing and time will tell how well the seam tape holds up but all tent users/backpackers learn that at some point you have to redo this yourself anyway. The stakes while aluminum are not the typical thin shepherd hook ones found in similar priced tents (and pictured in the product listing). They have gone with slightly thicker ones with an octagon profile so they are light but still felt incredibly strong and they give you 12 of them! You could easily reduce this to 6 (2 for vestibule/doors and 4 for corners) The Double-Y pole gives lots of head room though that could make it a sail in the wind. To combat this they have included 4 guy out points on the fly allowing you to better secure everything. This is one way you can reduce weight. Since it’s free standing with the pole inserting into grommets at each corner and the fly clipping to those same corners, when using the fly you don’t need to stake the corners of the inner tent and can instead stake down the fly, reducing the # of stakes. This tent floor area is also completely rectangular making it easily 2P or 1P with ALL your gear inside. The zippers on the doors (one on each side) worked smoothly and are built with no way for fabric to snag (even the fly doors) The inner tent doors have double (open either direction) zippers which is nice as you can unzip from the bottom enough to reach out to the vestibule. There are equal sized vestibules on each side which aren’t big but enough you could put your shoes, cook pot, etc. under and if using as a 1P you have a back porch! Each end of the fly also has vents that can be opened from the outside to reduce condensation. It would have been nice for the fly doors to have double zippers to allow venting at the top of them as well. I don’t see anywhere that they sell a footprint but I have made ones for all my tents out of tyvek with reinforced grommets for the poles and you could easily adapt the fly connectors where you could use the fly without the inner tent and just a footprint and poles. They have included stash pockets in EVERY corner and an overhead gear loft that is detachable. They also include a hook in the center to hang a lantern, etc. but this is the third fault I found as the gear loft when installed prevents use of this hook (see photos). It would be better if they moved the hook to one of the ends so it would be usable along with the gear loft, but the loft installs/removes easily with toggles. Pros: – EASY Setup – Pole snapped together quick (almost on it’s own with a couple shakes) – Pole and fly connect easily with clips and grommets – Fly covers all the way to the ground – Great interior space (I’m 5’11” and had easily a foot to spare in length and could almost stretch my arms to the sides) – STASH pockets everywhere – Good stakes Cons: – No Seam sealing on all seams: just those exposed to ground or on fly – Workmanship: some fraying, loose threads and scraps found stuck to it – can tell it was built on a factory line – Weight? Not bad – decent for a starter: 5lbs or $17/lb (in comparison my Tigerwall 2 is $200/lb) Initial thoughts are that this indeed would be a great starter tent for someone getting into backpacking. I’ve included this tent as part of a sub $500 starter kit I’m compiling (https://www.lighterpack.com/r/m60i3h) and so far this is going to be my go to recommendation for tent as the weight to price to size to feature ratios are excellent. $85, 5.1lb, 32.6 Sq Ft, 2P free standing

   Für eine Person perfekt, da innen genügend Platz für Gepäck vorhanden ist. Zwei schlafen auch gut darin, natürlich mit weniger Gepäck.
   Der Aufbau macht schon Spaß, da sich das Gestänge fast von selbst in Position bringt.
   Einmal gemacht, kann man nach weniger als zehn Minuten bereits einziehen.
   Sehr kompaktes Packmaß, war perfekt für meine große Motorradtour.
   Klare Kaufempfehlung.

   This tent was perfect for our back country trip. It weighed very little and was compact. The material was of good quality, lots of pocket storage inside and had enough room to fit our packs inside with us as well! Overall very happy with this purchase, great value for the price!

   La verdad es que me agrado la compra, la casa de campaña es de buen tamaño para dos personas adultas y lo que mas me preocupaba era la impermeabilización, si bien es cierto que la humedad se colo dentro y que habia un poco de brisa, comparado con mis varios vecinos en el campamento fuimos quienes mejor libraron la tormenta en el campamento. La recomiendo bastante.

   3 person tent fits 3 adults and backpacks, but will be a tight fit with full sized packs and large people. It can be set up by one person, but would be difficult in the wind. The threshold for the door is about 8 inches which a bit tall for kids.
   The tent steaks weigh 1 each, I will be replacing with lighter weight steaks for less than $20 to save almost half a pound

   The material is thick and the packed up size is pretty bulky, but the material seems really durable
   

9. Jeff Arnold Verified Buyer – 1 April 2025

   Only setup in the backyard so far to check it’s OK. Absolutely impossible to get 3 people in it.
   More like a 1 person tent with room for luggage/gear. 2 could use it but would be close together.
   Easy to assemble and a free standing tent. Two door openings a big plus.
   Looks good for my purpose of motorcycle trips.
