This tent was perfect for our backpacking trip. It was light enough to easily pack and hike with. Setup was super simple with our trekking poles! Zipper and bug net served their purpose and kept the critters outside. For the price, we couldn't have asked for anything better!

I bought this tent for a friend because my wife had bought one for me for a birthday gift, so I bought another to gift as well because I loved the tint so much. However, I know two people could squeeze into it, but your going to need to leave your gear outside or sleep with it in your lap. It's absolutely perfect for a spacious one person backpack tent. I put a ground cloth down to protect the bottom and have an area to take my boots off before going in and it's perfect. Definitely not a cold weather tent though. It was quite cold camping in south Fl when it dropped to 40°. The quality is top notch and I'd buy another for sure.

I really like the simple yet well thought out design. I got this to replace my old backpacking tent. This is around half the weight and offers more than double the space. It was frustrating to me that I couldn't fit my backpack in my old tent, that I couldn't sit up in it, and that it was prone to heavy condensation on the inner walls right next to my face. I haven't actually tested this in a rainstorm yet, but thus far I am exceedingly pleased with it being better than my old tent in all those areas.

I saw a few people mentioned the knots. It's a fair point; you'll want to retie those, but that will take next to no time and will be a good refresher anyway.

Another point I saw people mention was that stakes made it more limited than free-standing tents in where it could be set up. That's true and is the nature of all trekking pole tents. However, it isn't an issue for me because the areas I backpack aren't super rocky or sandy. They mention this in the video upfront though. It's worth considering where you'll be hiking though.

Perhaps my greatest point to remark in favor of this tent design is the stuff sack. This may seem silly, but I really appreciate that they thought to make the stuff sack larger than how small it can originally pack down to. I don't want to spend an hour trying to roll up a wet tent in the morning in a special way so that it will fit back in its stuff sack (I have to do something of this sort for one of my inflatable sleeping pads). This detail make me think that their designers have some actual experience backpacking.

I got this tent with an eye to taking it on a trek to Philmont Scout Ranch, but I also had the smaller (1.5) version, and since ounces make pounds, I took the smaller tent and it worked just fine. Back home, however, I like the 2.2 better for everyday camping. It is a bit roomier, so I can keep more of my gear with me in my tent as I prefer for most outings with my troop and pack. It still packs very small, has withstood nights of wind and rain without a leak. It goes up in a flash. It has better airflow than most other tents, even the most expensive ones I own. I'm very happy with it.

I have a friend who has this tent and has nothing but good things to say about it, so when it came time for me to purchase I knew what to get! Can't wait to use it
