This is a very nice 1.5 person tent. I wish it were just a little bigger. It does avoid being too heavy, or sacrificing sturdiness. It will stand up to a pretty windy rainstorm.

The tent is easy to set up with the exception that you have to really tension the poles to seat their ends in the grommets (because it uses pole-sleeves rather than clips). I eventually made setup easier by tying foot-loops out of 1/8" cord that pass through the nylon loops that hold the grommets. I step into the foot-loop and thus have both hands free to tension the pole and guide it into the grommet. Sounds complicated, but if you have the tent it should be pretty clear how to do this.
