Pros:
Lightweight, easy to set up, does great in the rain, packs up very small w/o poles
Cons:
Condensation
This tent is perfect for a long weekend trip but I wouldnt want to spend more than 2 nights in a row in it. As others have commented, the condensation is brutal. I have made it into the habit of waking up and wiping down the inside to try and avoid putting it away wet. I have slept in it in the pouring rain and woken up dry though, so it does do well in protecting you for the elements. If youre looking for something light over everything else, this is your tent.
