My wife and I used this during our trek through France last summer. It is an excellent pack tent that compresses really well. The tent is small but that is the intent. A minimal tent that gets the job done. If you like spending time in your tent, consider something bigger. It you are traveling light and just need a nice dry place to sleep, this is it.
Side note: first time we tried out the tent, we got hit with a nasty full-on downpour. I setup the fly and waited to hear drips all night. The fly and footprint held strong and there wasn't a bit of wetness inside. Huge!
