"All things considered, not bad at all. I live in Mobile, Alabama, and backpack mostly in this area. Most of the time weight gets a higher consideration than temperature rating as it is quite mild most of the year. Perhaps more importantly it is very hot during the summer months."

"Let me start with the good. This tent is very light and compact when packed up.

Unfortunately it's too small for a person who is 6 foot tall. The way the door was designed was kind of silly, it is too short. I end up having to lay on the ground and crawl like a soldier into the thing, tracking dirt or worse mud into the tent/sleeping bag."

Good little tent if you are putting a cheap pack together. I've used it about a dozen times. I'm getting a little large for it. Tough to get in and out of, but super light. I'm upgrading to a larger tent/pack but this thing is super light.

Problems: tough to get in and out of, condensation can be a problem, single wall not the greatest idea, no room but for you and your bag.

"Although I own several shelters (Noall Serenity, Sierra Designs Lightning, Walrus Trekker Tarp, Black Diamond Megamid, Golite Cave, Bibler Pinon) I am always looking for another tent! I’ve been aware of the Wenzel StarLite for awhile and wanted to see just how much I could improve it to increase its performance."

"The only positives of this tent are that it was really really cheap, and light.

That being said, I don't really think it was worth the 30 bucks. I'd rather have put that money toward a real tent. I think it fails in all of the respects that a tent should not: size/comfort, ease of use, weather protection, durability."

"Have used this solo tent on several hikes. Its main advantage is how light it is. Only about three pounds. Getting in and out require you to crawl, and it is only a single wall. I have other double wall tents, but still use this cheap little number. I'm going for a very early spring hike this weekend and the forcast if for rain. I can't wait to see how it holds up."
