Summary
Lightweight, spacious, free standing. Need I say more? This tent is so easy to set up, you don't even need instructions!
Pros
- Lightweight
- Easy to use
- Spacious
Cons
- Tent stakes could be lighter
The only thing I would change about this tent are the stakes that come with it. Besides that, this tent was made in heaven.
I will be using this tent during the PCT thru hike. I know I won't be disappointed since SD always makes wonderful products!
Overall, very easy to set up, packs up light and takes…

Overall, very easy to set up, packs up light and takes up little space. Footprint, poles, and fly clip and lock into place and stay secure.
Only criticism is the small size of tent and vestibule, but it is a one-man tent so that is to be expected. Vestibule barely contained my pack and boots; would have been an issue in rainy weather.
