I Pitched a small tent....
By Bane on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2016
Great get up and go tent. I originally purchased this tent because I had never camped before and thought it would be a once or twice a year thing, at most. However, I caught camping fever for the first time in my life and have since upgraded on the size of the tent that my wife and I choose to use. About us: We are 30 and 31 years old. I am 6'0 tall and 315lbs. She is 5'7 and well, I hope my wife doesn't read this or I could perhaps lose the ability to write another review, ever again. She has a few extra lbs. as well. That's not bad, honey! We fit in this tent comfortably when sitting or laying down on our Queen sized air mattress. With that being said; if you are over a few feet tall, don't expect to be standing up and changing clothes and or moving around in this tent. We had just enough space to stash our duffel bags and dirty shoes at the end, and that was all. Pros: Tent is great for easy and fast set up! No over-reaching involved here! Tent would be great for kids. Tent is a great second tent to own if you don't feel like dragging out the big tent, and or, if you choose to camp with someone who may not have their own. This is just a theory, but the low profile of the tent as well as the overall shape leads me to believe this would be a good all weather tent that would withstand higher winds and minor storms better than towering tents with large walls. Waterproofing: Tent is small and easy to waterproof. A single can of waterproofing was more than enough. Fingers/back won't get tired from holding the trigger and bending over for too long. - Less is more - Save $$$. Our larger tent took two cans and kinked my back/cramped my hand up pretty bad. Cons: Probably smaller than you will ultimately want, should you camp on a frequent basis Overall: This is a great tent as a back up tent or a tent for children. As you can see, I knew the tent was small when I purchased it, so it by no means affected the overall rating.

Overall Ok tent, not for freezing weather though
By Sparkly Olive on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015
The Tent: This tent is a 2 season tent, which I did not see listed anywhere on the seller page. This means it will NOT keep you warm when it is windy or near freezing temperatures. The rainfly did keep us dry while it rained, however the cold winds blasted through this tent. Arizona and Utah are surprisingly cold in April. Apart from this, the tent is very big. Enough for 3 sleeping bags with no room for shoes, or for 2 sleeping bags and a little area to put a case of water (so the tent doesn't fly away), firewood (so other campers don't steal it), backpacks, clothes, shoes and other muddy/sandy stuff. Set up/ Take down: The set up is surprisingly fast. Just insert the rods, tie down the rain fly, and the stakes and you're done. It took us amateurs around 5 minutes. take down was longer (15-20min), as it was windy and you have to get the giant tent back into a tiny bag. I do highly recommend having a tarp underneath, to give you an additional barrier to keep out the cold ground. Other Info: You can bring this on a plane... in checked luggage. It's very light.. like 8 pounds, but feels like 5 pounds. The carrying case/bag is small and has a handle and a good zipper...holds everything in. The stakes and poles come in separate bags inside the carrying case, and there is a mud flap thing (which we didn't use). TL;DR: Not suitable for winter or cold spring/fall evenings. Can travel in checked luggage. Spacious for 2 to 3 people. 10 out of 10 would camp again.
