Coleman Avior X1

I used this tent for the first time in 10 degree weather on Southern California's 10,000 ft. Mt. Baldy in late January. Camped on snow and found it easy to pitch, and warm inside. The other three backpackers I were with had their water bottle freeze inside their larger tents, but my tent stayed completely warm and "freeze-free". The low profile and limited space inside the tent proved to be beneficial for this extremely cold environment.

It did not snow on this outing and I do not know how well the tent would have handled a snow load. I had my ski poles and boots ready to rig an additional support cross-member inside the tent, as necessary. Tent comes with 16 tent stakes - I used 14 in the snow to properly stake it down.

The only gripe I have with this tent is Coleman's inexplicable placement of the interior zipper "start" position for the side door towards the foot, or narrow, end of the tent. Whenever you want to unzip the tent to step outside you must reach way down to your feet to start the zipper. Very inconvenient.

I also own the 2-person version of this tent - I particularly like the low profile and wind-resistance shape of this series.

For a 1 person three season tent, 4 lbs. is a bit too heavy. Zipper protector on the side door would flap in high winds, which could also lead to water leakage in heavy rain (had to put a velcro tsk tsk..). Side doors to low too, ventilation needs improvement. Roominess? wtf, I'm just 5'1 and I had a hard time moving around inside..

Overall, I could've loved this tent with its cheap price, pitch tent-with-fly and aerodynamics, but more than 4 pounder-waterproofless-single-person-tent... Think about it, I didn't.. so I'm gettin an MSR Hubba Hubba.
