I bought it because it was cheap and I needed a tent, but now I'm just darn glad I got it over the other tents at the store. This little tent is fantastic. It's easy for one person to set up in about five minutes, and while the stakes are your typical cheap ones, they do get the job done.

Me, a friend, and a dog were camping on what was supposed to be a nice weekend, and instead we got an extreme thunderstorm with exceedingly heavy rain and sustained high winds, some hail. Despite the fact that our only option ended up being to camp on mud, despite being very exposed, we weathered the storm perfectly dry on the inside, and pretty darn content. Both our packs (one bulky external frame, one large internal) fit under the rainfly outside the tent and they stayed dry as well.

It's not the best tent that money can buy, but it actually seems to be not half bad for the Pacific Northwest... or Pacific NorthWet I should say. I like my tent. If it croaks, I will probably buy the same thing again.
