this tent is amazing! the design is so practical. the only drawback for some is that it would be cramped for taller people. i'm 5'2" though and i love it. i bought this tent because i wanted something that wasn't too heavy and didn't take up too much ground space or pack big. i wanted to have a rain fly like a regular tent, and not have to worry about getting all wet if it rained like i would with most of the bivvies out there. since it's all mesh you don't have to worry about condensation either. it is perfect for me to sleep in the main part with my dog up above my head. i put my coat and shoes in the little side triangle, and my backpack fits under the fly in the vestibule. this is a great option for people who want to have a decently lightweight tent, but not sacrifice a lot of comfort and gear storage. it's good quality and durable. they also make a custom fit footprint if you want to add to the ground protection.
