This tent suits my needs perfectly. It's small enough to fit on my motorcycle to get away for a two person weekend camping trip. I wouldn't rate it lower if I got rained on, because it's not a rain tent. The nicest feature is the rollback 'roof' for a screen net covering...perfect for sleeping under the stars.

The pole in the back DID break. However, one call to Texsport and the very friendly customer service rep immediately sent a new set of poles to my house in time to camp the following weekend. No charge. He informed me that the company is aware of the relative weakness of the smaller poles used on this model, (and the fact that common repair kits do not fit) and will replace them at will.

Excellent customer service, great tent. They have a customer for life.
Falls short of five stars because I would really like a tent that packs small enough to fit on my bike, yet is big enough that I can comfortably change my clothes in. (Something at least 5 feet tall inside...I'm 6'2".)
