Set up is quick and straightforward. First time I've set up a tent in about 8 years and I had the whole thing (including rain fly) done in 15 minutes working in my garage. Second time I had it down to about 7 minutes, this time including staking out the vestibule. Assembled the tent is still lightweight enough to pick up and adjust if needed.
The only challenge I ran into is the final assembled size. I'm 6' tall, and I've got a couple back issues so I opted to purchase a cot rather than a ground pad for sleeping. When the cot is in the tent, the curvature is just enough that I can't lay completely flat with the flap zipped without my toes or head against the tent material. Sleeping with a slight bend in my knees easily rectified this, but it's something to be mindful of.
Overall, I'm quite pleased with this tent, and I look forward to using it on a number of trips for years to come.
Bought this for primarily car camping at dirt bike rallies but wanted something small enough to pack onto the back of a dual sport for longer moto-camping trips. After spending 4 nights in this tent, 2 of which involved a lot of rain, I am happy and dry.
I did lay out the tent measurements with tape on the floor before purchasing but I still overestimated the size of this tent somehow. The measurements are true but I guess I failed to account for the pitch of the walls and how quickly that space drops in a tent, especially with any type of inflatable underlayment (I had about 2" under me). I don't think I will be offering any tent space up unless we're REALLY close (or cold).
While laying lengthwise in the tent at 6'0", I felt that I was struggling to not touch the tent on both ends. I was able to find a nice "sweet spot" where I was able to comfortably stretch out but a tiny shift and I was rubbing either my feet or head on the tent (which is doable with how soft this tent feels). This will mostly be used as a 1-person tent where I can easily sleep diagonally and be plenty comfortable, but I was hoping it would be big enough for 2 in certain situations. Just a couple of extra inches in each direction would make a huge difference in this being a regular-guy 2-person tent and not a backpacking 2-person tent. Unless my "roommate" is a backpacker, I'm going to get weird looks offering to share space in this tent.
Kinda wishing I would have gone for the Alps Lynx 3-person but I can't fault this tent for being what it is advertised as. The pack size and weight advantages of this tent over the Lynx are substantial and I believe I could pack this tent a lot smaller than is advertised with minimal effort which is a huge plus. The poles are only about 13.5"x2" so it is easy to stay compact.
I do have yet to figure out how to get out of this tent without dripping water into the inside if there is any moisture on the fly. That is probably a "me" problem and this was still minimal with only several drips at worst and it is a tent after all...
Summary: easy to set up, lots of ventilation, roomy for two adults, great for star gazing, the tarp would be a nice addition.
1- It’s a heavy tent (almost 6 pounds with ground tarp)
2- it has a double vestibule which I HATE dealing with after a day of backpacking.
3- It also has 6 poles in total.
So in an effort to try and replace that tent on backpacking trips, I bought this tent! It’s lighter, it’s only 2 poles, the set up is fool proof, and overall roomy.
