Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Crestone 1 is a lightweight design that is perfect for solo backpackers who are watch their weight."

From CampSaver.com:
"If your counting ounces and every penny counts, then this Kelty Crestone 1 tent is for you.This 3 season, 1 person tent is designed for backpackers who want to go ultralight but dont want to drop their christmas bonus on something more expensive.Taped seams, large vestibule and well vented, the Kelty Crestone tents dont skimp on the features."

From REI:
"Kelty® Crestone one-person backpacking tent is built for three seasons of fun and serves ounce-counters very well. Non-freestanding design features one door and one nice-sized vestibule. Features a polyester rainfly for a taut pitch in wet weather, DAC Featherlite® poles and a durable polyurethane-coated nylon taffeta floor. Color-coded clip construction provides easy setup, especially in windy weather. ArcEdge® floor remains taut with specially constructed waterproof seams that are up off the ground. Side wall vents and mesh ceiling help keep air flowing to prevent condensation. Side-release buckles make quick and easy work of tent-to-rainfly connection. Kelty's attention to detail shows with features such as their noiseless, reflective zipper pulls and internal storage pockets. Includes stuff sacks, guyline and stakes. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

From Backcountry.com:
"The minimalist Kelty Crestone 1, configured with a vestibule to take maximum advantage of available living space, is an ideal tent for backpacking and other 3-season pursuits where weight is a primary concern. Individual clips secure two aluminum Featherlite poles quickly and easily for set up. The mesh ceiling is great for star-gazing and Kelty vented both the tent and fly to increase air circulation and prevent condensation. Other features include taped seams, internal storage pockets, an easy buckle tent/fly connection, and noiseless zipper pulls. Solo camping has never been easier."

"Great tent for the money.

Pros:
+Light weight
+Easy setup for one person

Cons:
-Included stakes are cheap and heavy

I bought this tent on a low-budget. After eyeballing it on different websites, I caught a deal on eBay that included the tent, rain fly, poles, stakes AND footprint for above mentioned price (includes $10 for shipping)."

"This is a great little lightweight tent. I'm relatively short and small (5'4") and found this tent to provide enough room for myself as well as my 4750 cu inch backpack plus sleeping pad and sleeping bag and other little gadgets. If you are a taller individual and looking for a strong tent, this tent would not be a good choice."

"Worst tent I have owned. The price explains the quality I paid for. Although it is easy to setup it is hard to get in and a pack and boots barley fit in the vestibule."

"This tent is exactly as it is described. That is to say it is a tight 1-man hoop style tent. At 19. 12 square feet it is a little smaller than the average 1 man by a foot or two.

Pros:
1. A full size rain fly.
2. Considering the full fly, 3."

"Great little tent for the money. I use it as a backup when motorcycle touring and the hotels are full or not available. Holds up well in wind and rain when staked properly. It is a quick pitch but not a stand alone. . . so pitch it where you want it."
