"I've used this tent in the ADKs on several occasions and have comfortably fit two people in there each time. The tent does have a slight condensation problem on the walls, but I stayed dry every time I used it. For the weight, the ease to assemble, and the price, it can't be beat."

"Tent has a quality construction, extremely easy to pitch. Downside is that it's very small, to me it's only a 1 man tent (which is fine if that's what you need or if you're a dwarf). Tent does have condensation problems, probably due to not having a rain fly which requires a less breathable tent material."

"Lightweight, fast and easy to set-up, very useful vestibule (hope to had a bigger vestibule) yet vulnerable to condensation. You need to have a sponge to collect water inside this tent due to condensation when you wake up."
