"Tent setup is pretty easy. With how light this tent is for what it is, it's still fairly strong. A 'Clip-Loc' at the tents apex gives 60 percent more strength, supposedly, which would be helpful in windy situations. The rear arch support seemed to be more useful than just for strength, but for interior space as well."

"Could be worse. Very light and easy to set up. Biggest drawback is lack of views, absence of storm flaps on window/doors is a disadvantage. Overall, the Orion makes for a rather claustrophic environment. I might suggest the Walrus Rappeede as an alternative."

"I didn't buy this tent, but I came very close. The salesperson and I set it up about five times inside the store over a period of two weeks. I really liked this tent, but decided to buy the Sierra Designs Polaris instead (a slightly larger, 4 season tent)."
