This is a great tent for what it is.  It is not a lightweight backpacking tent, but it isn't that heavy, and folded up, it's not huge or anything.  Straps onto a motorcycle no problem.  Built well.  Set up isn't too complicated.  Do it right and it'll hold up and you won't get wet in a rain storm.  The vestibule is perfect for leaving your boots out.  I used it solo and found it to be the perfect size to keep all my gear inside with me (no food of course!) and really spread out.  Might be too cozy for a buddy, but would be more than adequate for a romantic duo.

Well, I give this tent 4 stars because of a few minor issues, but overall I am pleased with it.  I have used this tent a few times now, including one night where there was a massive thunderstorm that poured on us.  We did stay dry, although one corner of the rain fly where the pole connects had a minor leak.  I had not used any water sealant or anything though, and it was only a few drops getting through out of a massive downpour.  Those drops fell onto the main tent and didn't get in, but they did get the door on that side a little wet.  If I use a spray seal on that corner I'm sure it won't leak anymore so that is easy enough to fix.

Now the tent was a bit confusing to setup at first.  This is the first tent I've had where the rainfly is significantly larger than the main tent.  I recommend you set it up in your backyard on a nice clear day when you are not rushed to become familiar with it.  Don't try to set it up in the middle of the night, or when it's raining, if you've never set it up before.  I set this up with two people always, it could be possible to set up solo, but it wouldn't be easy.  The tent is roomy enough for 2 people, and an inflatable air mattress for two people, but there isn't room for much else.  However, there is a lot of covered area to store shoes and other items under the rainfly.  I do recommend getting a tarp of some kind so that the area you set out of the tent onto is clean and dry.  Also if you set out a tarp before you lay down the tent it helps protect it from sharp rocks and sticks, etc.

We call this tent "the boulder" because when it is all closed up it has a very strange looking profile, like a low lying rock or something.  Also, the picture for this item is inaccurate, it does not have poles to support the rainfly extension, that is some other tent, the next larger model up I think.  I'll try to add a photo of this tent set up after I finish this review.

nice tent for the price, but it needs seam sealing done then it will be great

My kids and I are not small people.  I new this going in.
I have never used a one man tent personally, I have always used a two man tent when I camp alone.
I purchased this "4-Person" tent for my kids to use and it works very well.
It has enough room, with only the two of them, to have some room to move around as well as all of the stuff that they bring.
It isn't hard to set up at all.
Up to now we have only used the tent in fair weather so I cannot speak to the tent being water proof.

The tent is more then worth what they charge for it.  It is very easy to assemble, and probably took me around 10 minutes to put together alone.  However the placement of the ducts doesn't seem to make much.  Their are two built in ducts in the top left corner of the tent, and one built in duct in the bottom left.  For such a small tent this makes literally no sense as its size will necessitate air cooling for any light fixture you put in it, and the inconvenient placement of the ducts prevents ducting from being easily run into, and out of whatever light you mount in it.  However you can make it work as long as you aren't using a giant 1000w hood so I don't see any reason to give it below a 4 star review.
It does the job for the right price!

The tent is great overall considering its price.  It is a 2-person tent in real-life, as are most "three-person" backpacking tents.  The tent floor is thin and should be protected with an extra footprint underneath it.  A great feature is that a person can exit out either side and does not need to climb over the other person.  However, the tent fly doors are over the main tent doors.  If it's raining, the tent fly's outer surface will shed water into your opened mesh tent door and inside your tent.  You have to carefully shake the tent fly a bit first and be sure to cast it outward and away from the tent.  At at point, the rain will fall inside your tent, so any entries and exits need to be done quickly to reduce the amount of rain that gets inside. Another issue is that the top of the tent is almost flat and is triangular in shape.  A small aluminum spreader pole keeps the two main poles separated.  When it rains any harder than a drizzle, the drops begin to weigh down the almost-flat top and then it no longer sheds water to the side but forms a puddle.  I had sprayed the tent fly liberally with silicone water repellant spray, and sealed some stitch-through areas with goop just to be extra waterproof.  So the puddle didn't leak, and we occasionally pushed up the top from inside to cast the puddle away but this won't take place while sleeping...  Also, we had removed that spreader bar to help make it easier to do the 'puddle push' and to help reduce the flatness and see if water could drain off more easily.  In the absence of wind, the tent is plenty stable without that spreader bar in place.  If the tent spot is sloped, the tent should be oriented to help drain that top away, increasing its gradient.  It's not a total deal-breaker but an unfortunate poor design.  Before next camping season I will try to modify the tent with some sort of method to help prop up the tent fly summit to improve its drainage. It won't take much, and needs only enough increase in elevation to drain a bit better so that no puddle begins to form, and so it doesn't need to support any weight, it just needs to remain in place in windy conditions.

The tent setup is simple enough and it does a good job of venting, with a mesh inner tent, and a propped vent window that remains dry in the rain.  It won't remain dry in humid, rainy, warm conditions, but very few tents excel in that kind of weather.

This tent is almost perfect for what I needed. It is large enough that I will be able to fit a queen size air mattress and a large dog kennel with no problems and still have plenty of room to move around in. Only downside I have found so far is the side "rooms" don't want to go all the way to the ground initially, but I think this will improve once I've used it a few times and stretched out the fabric. Also, I was hoping the side windows would have coverings, but they do not. However, the rain fly does cover them. Overall, a fantastic tent for the money.

I like this tent, it does allow for two people to sleep inside, you will have NO room for any of your gear, but that is what the vestibule is for. On a trip to the Devil's Punchbowl in the Siskiyous near where I live a thunder storm swept in and the wind was so bad it permanently bent a tent pole. That wasn't such as great thing. You have to be sure to guy out the rain fly if you want it to look like the pictures otherwise it looks a bit like a deflated balloon. I would recommend purchasing extra paracord for that duty. All-in-all a great beginners tent for backpacking, but it is heavy and bulky. I will be transitioning to a Big Agnes tent when I have the money, until then, this will do.

Not the smallest or lightest tent. But definitely a great tent for the price

Overall I love this tent. My only issue with it is that I wish they made one a little smaller (like maybe a 6 person tent) that still had the two rooms. I really only wanted this tent so that I could have an entrance area that was still inside the tent to change shoes and leave dirty backpacks, etc. It worked great for that, but we definitely had more space than we needed. Unfortunately the only tent options I found are small one room tents or monster sized. But hey, if you're going to a huge campsite, it works.

It's also fairly easy to setup, but having 2 people certainly helps just because of how large it is.

Not sure how this would hold up in a windy site. I would probably be reluctant to take it anywhere like that. As we were setting it up it felt like it might not be able to handle a whole lot, but I'm honestly not sure. Aside from that, it rained a little bit on our trip and no leaks.

We've only used it once so far, but it appears to be a fantastic tent. With two German Shepherds there was plenty of room for all of us. The outer room was great for storage and taking shoes off. The only issue I've got with it is that there is nothing to tie up the window coverings, but really it's not that much of an issue.

This tent looks amazing when built, everyone loves it and it serves its purpose. It can get warm with the panels down but that's no biggie. Requires a few people to assemble and take down, takes about an hour both ways. DON'T LOOSE THE INSTRUCTIONS & purchase something to store it in as our original box didn't last long.

I don't recommend for someone looking for a "pop up" or "easy to assemble" tent.

I lived in one of these tents for about a month in a Montana summer. While this isn't its intended purpose, it held up better than I expected it would. I sealed the seams with a spray on sealer before I even got rain just to be sure, and I went through a few storms, some including high winds and it didn't collapse or let water in. The tent held up just fine, and I wouldn't hesitate to take it camping even after using it pretty hard. I think that this is just an inherintly good tent design. I will be purchasing a canvas tent if I plan on having an extended tent stay again, but these are great little tents for the money.

This is a great tent for the price. It's quite spacious, very easy to set up (it only has two poles), and blocks wind well. It appears to be resistant to tears (I've taken it on two weekend trips so far). It's light and packs small, so it's a great backpacking tent for its price. I bought the three-person version, and it fits three people snugly but comfortably.

The tent holds in little heat (two of the four walls are entirely mesh), even with the rainfly on. I haven't used it in the rain, so I can't speak to how waterproof it is. It also doesn't come with a footprint.

This tent is awesome, don't get me wrong... and the ONLY reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because closing it up is a bit of a hassle. It's not necessarily difficult to understand, but for me personally, I need another person's assistance putting it back away. But I LOVE that it pops right up and is ready to go as soon as I open it.

Our tent used to be a high-quality, ultralight, 2-person tent, costing 3 times as much as this.  But having a young kid now changes our needs & destinations, and this tent is just right at the right price.

Setup was straightforward: stick the obvious poles in the obvious places, attach the obvious velcro, etc.  Two people can get it basically up in 5 minutes, maybe another 5 minutes for the rainfly/vestibule/staking.  The dome shape means a good bit of vertical room even right next to the walls.

This is definitely a Memorial Day-to-Labor Day kind of tent.  The huge amount of mesh means that even with the rainfly on you get plenty of ventilation.  That's outstanding for warm summer temperatures, and still comfortable with lows down into the 50's, but you'll want an extremely warm sleeping bag and/or hearty constitution if the lows are going to be much below that.

The 4-person size can truly fit 4 adults with sleeping bags and normal-sized sleeping pads.  There wouldn't be a lot of space left for stuff, but that's what the big vestibule is for.

At the price, I'm impressed by the high-quality materials and construction.  But like a lot of tents -- including much more expensive ones -- the included stakes are pretty low quality, working well only in loose forest soil.  If you're going to be somewhere more rocky or hard packed, pick up some good stakes separately.

It's a little hilarious that the packaging says it is "Great for Backpacking" ... perhaps true compared to Coleman alternatives, but I wouldn't take this on anything serious.

This tent is very quick and easy to setup. There isn't enough room inside for myself and my pack; however there is ample room for sleeping bag, mat and the necessary gear I need inside.  The mesh top is great for clear nights, morning dew can have an impact.... The full fly is great for rain protection but condensation has been an issue (even with the pop up vent open). I like this but don't love it.
