I love the lightweight of this tent. I also own the Copper Spur UL2 which is nearly the same tent, but a tad lighter. I like to let two kids share the Emerald SL2 while I use the Copper Spur UL2 as my solo tent. I think the design is great as a solo tent. I don't like anyone to touch me, so this is too tight for me to call this a 2-person tent. When sub-freezing winds howl under the rain fly, you might just as well be sleeping without a tent because this thing is mostly mesh. If find the doors and vestibules well designed for their ultra-light purpose. I would buy this tent again.

I completely agree. With vestibule on, it makes it a 3 wall tent, and the walls are not very windproof. It does gold up to the rain great,
