Reviewed by JRG from Earth on Tuesday, June 18, 2013This is a great little 2-3 person tent. Very light-weight and compact. It held up to two nights of intense wind and rain. The "vestibules" are a nice feature and offer a good place to put your muddy shoes where they'll be dry but not muddy up the inside of the tent.

Reviewed by Rick the hiker from Avon, CO on Tuesday, June 11, 2013Easy to set up and has a nice height to it once you are inside. Also a great size for two to three people to put your pack and clothing inside. Easy to change or remove clothing for night time. It may have problems with high winds.

Reviewed by Dawnielle from Seattle, Wa. on Saturday, June 01, 2013I recently had the opportunity to use this tent on a Northwest camping trip to Orcas Island. Because it rains so much in the northwest that was my primary concern. I set up the tent with one additional tarp underneath and was completely protected from the rain. The tent was very easy to set up, and quite roomy (it was just me sleeping in it). As usual with tents, I would say this 3 person tent is perfect for 2 people, not 3. It was very easy to set up/take down. It also dried very quickly which was nice. I would recommend this product highly.

Reviewed by awesome april from outside of Houston Texas on Thursday, May 23, 2013It is described well and meets all the description. BIG set up and small packed away. We are taking it on a motorcycle ride to Sturgis from Houston. Our experienced rider friends said it looked great...Awesome!!!

Reviewed by Dr. Zed from San Francisco on Monday, May 20, 2013I love the double-vestibule and the airiness of the tent (you can angle the doors to catch breezes and route them into the body of the tent. The only minor complaint I've noticed (only taken it out once so far) is that if you're on a slight slope, the weight of 2 people (plus dogs) will tend to cause the tent body to slide a bit and stick out 2-3" from under the rain fly.

Reviewed by Loves to camp from Massachusetts on Monday, April 29, 2013This tent is easy to set up and very lightweight. The stakes that come with it are much sturdier than most. They definitely will not bend easy. Having both doors on the sides of the tent is very convenient, especially if more than one are sleeping within it. The tent is tapered, trapezoidal in shape. As others have said, there's definitely no way to fit 3 adults in the tent. But it's well-known that the number any tent is said to sleep is more than what's practical. The floor dimensions are not accurate, because of the tapered end. The tent slopes dramatically so don't expect an airmattress to fit easier. I'm going to try to fit a twin in a week, it should be possible.Other than the size difference, this tent is a great buy.

Reviewed by marty from napa on Monday, April 08, 2013Bought four for our scout troop, seems to be made well, a little small for the older scouts. We will test them out this weekend. A great two man with gear, but all the reviews have said the same.

Reviewed by Stormin' Mormon from San Jose, CA on Wednesday, January 23, 2013Works great for car camping and backpacking in Northern California climate (Tahoe in summer, Pinnacles in fall, Point Reyes in winter). The actual tent walls are mesh, so your fly provides all privacy and protection from the elements. The fly can flap a lot in the wind, so set up with the foot upwind and make use of the multitude of stakes provided. Only problem: I'm 6'2", 190 lb and it's a 2-man tent. With my 6'6", 200 lb buddy, our packs had to go outside in the vestibules and we were playing footsies at the tapered end...so really an ideal couple's tent. Haven't tried it in rain yet, but seems reliable (disclaimer, I always use a ground tarp) I really don't think I could ever use a tent w/o 2 doors and 2 vestibules now...so you probably shouldn't buy this, or you'll be spoiled like me.
