Ease of Setup: fast and easy

This is an awesome tent. I have been using it for three years and it hasn't let me down. In October it was great in 50 mph+ winds at an open site on the Straights of Mackinac.

Some people say it's kinda small, but I guess it depends on what you want/need from a 2-person backpacking tent. I am 6'5" and I sleep very comfortably with my wife (5'4") and our sheep dog below her feet. I can lay out straight without pushing on either end of the tent, which I can't do in most 2-person tents. There is enough room to sit up and move around a bit. Hanging out inside all day would be tight, but if that's what someone wants to do this probably isn't the tent for them.

As a lot of the reviews say, the attic is great for a headlamp and the side pockets keep track of small things. This is a great tent no matter what the price....at this price it can't be beat!
