This is a kewl tent. it's so easy to set up i suggest you set it for a few times at home to get it down and up with ease before taking it out into the backcountry. I'ts got several vents so you do'nt die of loss of air like you might in other bivys. Packs small and if you have skill you can pack it with alot of extra room in the bag. It has a little gear loft heavy times not suggested or the tent will sag down on your head. There a ton of room for your gear outside in the vesibule and you can see it from where your sleeping so you know it's safe and can get something with ease. Although if you got a lot of gear it can be kinda hard to get out if you're big. You needed to get the kelty tarp for this tent or you might get wet or something. i have always had mine and been dry. It's hard to move around if you like to but you have more room than a bivy. Some small condensation, nothing that will make you have to let something dry out before you head back out on the trail. Everything seam taped. All in all it's a great bivy tent.
