I bought this because my husband and I were going backpacking and I didn't want to carry too much weight. I also didn't have much money to spend on a new tent. This tent weighs under 4 lbs. It's a tight fit for two adults, but manageable. I'm 5'7" so someone taller might find it too short.

I think my only complaint is that there was quite a bit of condensation on the inside by morning, so if you are sleeping right against the walls, you are going to get a little wet. I slept in my multi-use rain poncho, so it didn't bother me, but my hubby was cold.

It also comes with a bag, which is nice.

Tent is a real tent.

Of course this is a nice tent for the money - that's first. But it will keep the elements out and is very study and simple to use. You don't have to worry about the aluminum poles snapping or the thick tarp material leaking if it is wet outside. There are no frills though, no vestibule for cooking or storing gear. If you want cover for that - rig a tarp or something. The tent is for sleeping only and two is a tight fit, but that's okay if you are just sleeping. The weight of 4 pounds makes it a good backpacking tent as well. The corners of the tent must be staked down and guy lines must be used for the tent to work - so be ready for that. You might want to get nicer stakes if the ground is going to be a problem.

basicaly for emergency

its great tent for what it is. perfect for kids, 2 adults can sqeeze in but defently not ment for comfort. 6ft tall or under. its a just in case tent. great for emergency kits, if you every had to use one of those bright orange tube tents that typicaly comes with a kit. well you know its worthless as a shelter, this tent is a great replacment. as one said, no vents! im using mine as my gear tent so i have more room in main tent. can be rigged to attach to multi access tents with a little know how.

Terrible Product

No ventilation at all. Al the condensation that is produced over night from you will collect on the roof and slowly drip down to your floor where your sleeping bag is. I made a bad decision of buying this product and on 2 separate DRY weather occasions I woke up in the middle of the night with a cold and very wet sleeping bag.
