I bought this tent to use while bicycle touring so size and weight were my main concerns. I'm pretty satisfied with the tent as it came as advertised. It is however quite tiny and at 6'1" I'm at the absolute maximum height I feel would be comfortable in this tent. Also, the vestibule is so tiny as to be almost non-existent. I kept a pair of shoes, a bottle of wine and a box of cereal in it but there is no way it could fit my saddlebags let alone a large pack. Aside from that, small light and sturdy. Kept me dry. Solid tent.
