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. I prefer domes for the possibility of picking them up and just moving them to a better place which you ususally find just after set up.

Some leaking,

Positive: minimal weight, storm resistant (yes, it did not tear or blow away on a stormy night on a French Alps plateau even though I didn't sleep all night wondering if it would)

it ventilates very well, which makes a good sleeping bag necessary when you camp in cold weather.

Definitely recommended for light camping in warm zones were you want a shelter but not too much more.
