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.

Enough head room to sit up in...I'm about 5'10". It is a one-person tent with space for your pad, bag, and a few extras. The vestibule is big enough for a small pack or duffle. If you ride like I do...well after you should have stopped...the Crestone is a nice tent to have on hand.
