So far so good
I haven't taken this out yet but I love the weight and packability. It set up easily in my yard. The colors are nice too. So many other tents are so bright! I'll report back after a field test.
Good so far
Used this tent for the first time this past weekend at Fall Creek Falls in TN. Temperatures dropped to slightly below freezing and the tent managed to provide some warmth (which was verified by the blast of cold air after opening up the vestibule in the morning...almost as good as coffee). Condensation on the inside of the tent was non-existent, however there was quite a bit frozen to the inside of the fly. I'd rather it be there though than almost dripping on me like with my old Kelty. The tent seems very long, which is a plus to me, as it leaves plenty of room for misc stuff near your head. Setup is a breeze, and despite the fact that it isn't free standing, its very sturdy in a fairly strong wind. I also expect that it will do well in a storm. It packs down nicely and is much lighter than my previous tents. The only real downside I've experience so far is the lack of headroom. Even sitting up at the door of the tent where the roof is the highest, my head still touches, and I'm only 5'10''. I'd also probably recommend against getting the rectangular gear loft, as the angle of the roof of the tent almost makes it unusable, at least with the ways I've tried to rig it. It is either at too much of a slant one way, or killing your head room the other. Lastly, I'd say that this tent is def not a two person tent, unless your very, very well acquainted with your tent mate. Even then, it'd be a little uncomfortable I'd think.
