I just purchased this bivouac styled tent to take with me on a week long trek into the Canyonlands. I'll write more when I get back. I've set it up in my yard to give me an idea of how it will work. Overall it seems like it will work out well. It's really light, which is awesome for backpacking. The room between the mesh tent and the rain fly allows me just enought room to place my boots and backpack under it. Another great feature.
The tent sets up in a flash. Literally, it's spring loaded and easy. "Twisting" and folding it back together takes some practice though, but shouldn't deter you from buying it. It is an excellent one-of-a-kind type tent that nicely bridges the gap between your average backpacking tent and a bivy sack

It was very difficult to figure out how to repack it from the instructions. Intuition and experience helped a great deal. Don't go in the tent with ant soled footgear. Quarters tight
