Great Solo Backpacking Tent By Eric "The Red" from Hercules, CA on 05/05/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this tent for solo backpacking trips in the Sierras (mostly for bugs and thundershowers). I'm 6'4" tall and have enough room for me and minimal gear (pack stays outside, but then I use an external frame pack). It is very light for one person (I replaced the stakes with titanium stakes to cut even more weight). I use a piece of tyvek under the tent to help protect the floor. All in all I got a great deal on this tent and think it will serve me well for solo trips or my son who is in Scouts.
By drewtonium from NY on 05/05/2008 Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Nice tent. no complaints here. i was torn because it was not freestanding, but it was so easy to set up. Sturdy. no condensation on a couple of cool north east rainy nights. Light. small. good deal all around.
Appalachian Trail Bound!!! By Hiker Mike from Virginia Beach, VA on 04/21/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Easy to set up, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Haven't used on a hike yet but I set it up in a couple of minutes (without reading the directions) with no problem. The vestibule is a bit small to keep a pack dry. I'm 5'6" and have plenty of room to stretch out. I am a mosquito magnet so I like a full tent instead of a tarp. Can't beat the weight for a tent. My only concern is the ventilation when the fly is installed.

By Buckeye Mtn. Man from Shippensburg, PA on 04/08/2008 Pros: Easy to set up, Fly Works Well, Lightweight, Sturdy, Waterproof Best Uses: Backpacking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very good quality I have come to expect from SD. Easy to set up, even in limited visibility conditions. Packs down small and light.
Only downside is limited room for large individual. I guess that's the trade-off for light weight small package.
