"I purchased this tent for camping and backpacking. I'm very happy with this product! It's light and very simple to set up. This is a very well thought out design as far as tent assembly goes. It's a three-man tent, but I use it for me and my girl."

"The perfect tent for two adults and a dog. My wife and I routinely hike with our shepherd and this is the perfect size tent. We really enjoy all the possibilities for ventilation since 1/2 the tent is mesh with a fly. You can leave the fly off, have it pulled down tight, or just about anything in between."

"Good tent, lightweight. It is very roomy for two and you can also put gear inside. Three grown adults will fit but it will be tight and the gear will have to sit outside."

"This tent has one considerable advantage and a number of compromises to achieve it. It is about the lightest tent for its size, with lots of space for two (this being a three-person model).

Its drawbacks are small interior room for three; it is really not adequate for three grown people."

"The perfect lightweight 3-person tent if it had another 6 inches or more in length?

At 7 ft length, you'd have to be 5'6" or so to fit lengthwise without bumping your sleeping bag against the single-wall. From my experience, water will leach right through a tent wall if you rub against it."
