I purchased this tent to use while backpacking here in Arizona during the spring and summer. I was drawn to this tent because of the size and for the fact that it only weighs 3lbs 3oz.

Set up of this tent is very easy color coded poles make set up a breeze. I have just returned from a trip which put this tent to a pretty decent test. The first night of my trip at 5,616 ft I experienced winds around 40mph and temperatures dropped down to 25 degrees. The wind was not a problem at all, this tent DID NOT BUDGE.

For the remainder of my trip I was camped along a river at 2,639ft. I had this tent staked down in very loose fine sand and experienced similar temperatures and winds around 25mph. Once again I had no problem at all with the windy conditions.

In the mornings I didn't notice any condensation inside the tent and I was warm and dry. The tent has very good ventilation and I felt comfortable inside although I am only 5'10" 160lbs. Sitting up and changing clothes wasn't a problem, but for someone larger this could be an issue. The vestibule area had plenty of room for my pack and boots.

Overall I believe this tent is great for someone looking for a very light, simple tent that is great for week long or weekend adventures.
