I'm looking to purchase my first tent.After looking and reading reviews I'm strongly considering this tent.I will use it for motorcycle road trips and usually be in it alone but want it large enough to share with one person if necessary. I was wondering if this tent comes with the fly screen or if it has to be purchased seperately.I know the footprint is sold seperately and was wondering if it takes up much space.Is anyone else carrying this tent on their motorcycle, according to the specs it looks like it packs small and light. Thanks for any information that might be helpful.

Although I think that there are better choices if you are looking for a motorcycle camping tent, this is a very comfortable tent for two people. In my opinion, better choices would probably be more expensive, but specifically I would look for a roomy, well designed 2-person tent in order to save a few more cubic inches for other gear on the bike. Of course if you have enough storage space then I wouldn't worry about it. In that case this tent would be great for what you have in mind.

This tent does include a fly & as you already know, not a footprint. It packs down in it's included stuff stack to 25 x 7 inches but can be folded or stuffed differently to better suit you needs. The mesh body walls provide good ventilation & 41 sq ft of floor area is plenty of room for your gear or another person. The large vestibule is great for storing boots, etc.
