"I bought this tent for the 2007 OMM (Original Mountain Marathon) in the UK. Mountain marathons are running events, for teams of two, usually over two days with a camp in the middle, 10 to 30+ miles per day, and all gear must be carried. Weather in UK hill/mountain areas is unreliable and can be very wet and windy."

"It's a good weight, but I've consistently woken up in the morning with the tent soaking went from condensation. It breathes horribly with the fly on. It's also a bit scrunched for two people."

"This tent is the absolute best tent I have ever owned and I have owned many over the last 20 years!!! It is a great tent because it is lightweight and you can set up in the dark with no problem!! It is awesome in humid, wet areas because the condensation does not build up inside because of the mesh interior."

"Excellent tent.

Very light, easy to set up and spacious inside for something weighing c1. 5kg.

Set up is a piece of cake; I did one dry run in my lounge and then was able to set it up easily, at midnight, in the dark, in the pouring rain on arriving in The Lakes (UK)."

"A very good tent, and very lightweight, but a few downsides that are a little annoying. For sleeping one person, you can set it up in an instant, but to get the full size you really have to put in all 10 or 11 stakes and attach hard to reach clips from the underside of the fly to the outside of the tent sides."

"First off let me tell you I definitely recommend this tent. I've only had the tent a week, so I will update accordingly if my experiences change, but after one 3-day camping venture, it tested out nicely.

I'm a pretty big guy at 6'5" and close to 320-lbs, an old Georgia Tech FB lineman, so I did a lot of research to find accommodable gear."

"I have hiked most of the AT with this bag. I prefer to tent out then use the shelters, so I use my tent every single night when I'm out. Rain, sleet, snow, bugs, heat, cold. You name and I've slept through it in this tent. I couldn't be more of an advocate."

"I got everything as advertised. Number one, the weight: _including_ ground cover and minimum stakes (6) this tent is under 4 lbs. Number two, is size. This is a two-person tent--spacious for one person, cozy for two. Nice vestibule size--just big enough for a compact-sized backpack, or two sets of boots, camp shoes, and then some."
