Great tent

I really love this tent. I've been using it for about 4 months now, and I can't stress enough how easy it is to set up. It's been through almost every weather condition except snow, and stands up to everything without leaking. My only complaint is that when using the rain fly the ventilation is not so good, making it pretty warm in the tent. This will probably be a good thing in the coming colder months! Excellent price for a great product.

I agree with the above comment - that ventilation is not great with this tent in warm, humid conditions. However, I also agree that this tent is a fantastic value, given it's price, weight, ease of setup, overall sturdiness, and relatively minor draw backs. I am 6'2" and use this tent solo for bike touring. Works fine for me, though I sleep somewhat diagonally, and store gear around me inside the tent, rather than relying on the relatively small vestibule. The newer version of this tent has more mesh, which may help with ventilation. I sleep with my head at the door to get a little more fresh air, and to have easy access to zipping up the fly if it starts to rain unexpectedly. Absolutely great 'economy', or 'entry level' tent.
