Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1 Ultra Light Tent uses SilNylon fabric and DAC aluminum poles to bring weight down to a scant 2lb 3oz. And that's for a double-wall tent, not some trimmed-of-all-features single-wall thing. In addition to 22sq feet of internal space, this Big Agnes tent also gives you a large vestibule. Additional guy-out points on the fly provide more support when the wind really picks up and you'd rather just sleep instead of worrying about your tent turning into a kite."

"The Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 1 is one of the lightest free standing tents ever made.Using ultra-light material and poles this one person tent features DAC hubbed poles, 22 sq ft and 5.5 sq ft vestibule all for under 2 lbs! Very similar to the Big Agnes See"

From REI:
"The Big Agnes Fly Creek is a freestanding ultralight tent for 1 that weighs in at only 30 oz! You get a shelter with full-on bug protection at a weight comparable to many tarp shelters. Single hub pole assembly and plastic pole clips ensure a hassle-free setup; fabric loops along the ridge pole decrease weight. Lightweight and strong DAC® pole system with press-fit connectors and lightweight hubs uses an anodization process without harsh acids. Rainfly and seamless floor are made of high-tenacity ripstop nylon and are both polyurethane- and silicone-coated for waterproof durability. Walls are constructed of woven nylon mesh, providing excellent ventilation and 360° views. All seams are taped with waterproof, solvent-free polyurethane tape. Reflective guyout and reflective webbing on tent corners increase visibility at night. Includes a mesh pocket for storage and superlight aluminum stakes. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

"I bought the Big Agnes Fly Creek to replace a Tarptent Contrail that I had been using. The primary reasons for the swap were: the Fly Creek has a smaller footprint than does the Contrail and I prefer the double wall configuration over the condensation-prone single wall tents."

"I'm an outfitter in MT and have spent many nights in the wilderness. Needed to find a new solo tent for the high country. Used this tent one night and that was enough. Super light weight and extremely thin but seemingly tough enough material. Seems and stitching seem sound."
