Summary

Awesome shelter for solo explorers.

Pros

Weight
Quality
Rain shedding/wind shedding

Cons

Dry vestibule is not true dry access

This shelter is great for a solo traveler or even one accompanied by a dog. If you're muddy it's getting in the tent unless you're meticulous, there's no dry vestibule to it. It does have a very handy wedge section to keep backpacking gear or even an animal around 40lbs.

It's very light and the poles are very high quality. The rainfly is very nice and effective. Breathes very well when rainfly is detached.

I can pack this tent, my TNF Cat's Meow sleeping bag, and my Big Agnes Insulated Sleeping Core all in my 30L hydration pack, just to reinforce how small of a footprint this tent has in your pack.
