"A remarkable tent for the price. Used on 35-consecutive day bike tour of Japan's northern island Hokkaido during the summer months; I got well more then my money's worth. The tent provided me with comfortable, dry housing for over a month in conditions ranging from hot dry temps to cold, wet, windy mountain tops."

"I have used this little puppy for seven years now and I must say it has held up to all my use. I'm pretty rough on gear and so far, everything has held its ground. So superlight and small, I have taken it on overnighters and slipped it in my backpack with my books."

"This tent is great!! It's light and it's easy to set up. I like it because it's a lot roomier than most solo tents for only a little more weight. You can sit up and change comfortably in the tent.

For those saying that it's not sturdy in high winds, learn to stake out a tent."

"I had posted earlier on this tent with a promise of an update on how I fared with the Warranty and Repair people at SD, after the main pole snapped in high winds the first time I set it up, and went through the rainfly. I was told there was a two-week turn-around time, after they received the shipment."

"I work for a backpacking gear store (to remain unnamed), so I see a lot of different tent designs by Sierra Designs, TNF, Kelty, Outdoor Research (biveys), Marmot, etc. I set up every tent that I see come through the store and I see every tent that comes back and why it is defective (if it is)."

"I placed a comment on the jacket side for Solstice vs. TNF. That should give you some idea of where I am coming from. . . . I let Backpacker Magazine do the majority of the research before I bought my tent. They were right-on. My 2. 5yr old tent is the bomb! I camped at Boulderfield at the base of Long's Peak in June and froze my 'nards off in the -15 degree temps, but the tent stood up to the 50mph gusts with nary a prob."

"Great little tent that does what I bought it for.

Ultra lightweight shelter best suited for solo use, but fits two in a pinch. I've had this for four years now and I still cannot find a lighter two-person tent.

Compromises -- no sealable door on the tent body (the fly has to do the job in foul weather, not really bomb-proof),

VERY cramped for two -- all seem acceptable when you consider the low poundage for a decent tent."

"Light, simple, great, but only for solo use. Too cramped I think for even very cozy two-some unless they're both under 12-years-old. Very small vestibule, barely large enough for one pack.

Even though it's the lightest, you need one per hiker, so if you're with a partner, carry a true two-man tent."

"I used this tent once in Big Sur, California. I sealed the seams with Seam Grip, and bought the footprint as well. It started raining and continued to come down just after we fell asleep. When I woke up about five in the morning, everything was completely soaked."

"Verdict: find me another TENT (not bivouac shelter!) under 4 lbs and I'll seriously consider buying it.

I've had this tent for several years. It's been to Alaska, Texas, Pennsylvania, the Smokies, all over in the western US. Never a problem."

"This is the best backpacking tent made. It really turned heads when I bought it (in 1991) and it still does. It is incredibly easy to set up, it's usually the first tent up in camp. Also, while it is not freestading, two extra stakes and 15 seconds is well worth the weight."

"Bought this tent used and sold it as soon as possible. The basic problem is that the tent setup is way too time consuming for this type of tent, in this price range. Get a freestander. Not worth the money or the time."

"I bought this tent with weight as my first consideration: It is one of the lightest (at that price).

The drawbacks are: Not too much room (you can't really sit up in it even when alone.

If you pitch it up every night and take it down again the nexxt morning, setup becomes rather bothersome."

"BAD PARTS:
Small vestible, it has small storage space and it does not come down far enough all around the tent. When it rains real hard water runs off the rain fly onto the lower main body of the tent also causes water run-off to splash mud on the body of the tent."

"The GOOD:

Light weight, packs small, 2 people can sleep in it, wind stable, cool hanger for a candle lantern.

The BAD:

Fly provides little storage space, also the fly doesn't leak but it does not come down far enough to keep water from dripping on the corner of the tents and hard rain from splashing mud up on the body of the tent."
