## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much does this weigh?  Is it ok for backpacking (tied to the pack)?**
A: This is exactly the tent you want for backpacking. It weighs just at 5# and is 18" long and 61/2" in diameter. It's small enough that I pack it inside my 75 liter Alps backpack but it would certainly strap to the outside if you wanted to. This is a GREAT backpacking tent, especially for the money. Don't hesitate to buy one.

**Q: Is this a 4 season tent?**
A: I have done quite a bit of winter camping and you don't want to use this tent for winter.  The problem with any tent with ventilation mesh is that the snow can fill it when you are setting it, also can come up under the rain fly and fill the tent, wet sleeping bags.  All 4 season tents should have a solid fabric body, I have learned the hard way, while tarp camping in winter I had snow everywhere and the only thing that saved me was a waterproof bivwac sac (an Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite Bivy, a great product!!).  In winter when things go wrong it can go very wrong quickly, you want a snow proof shelter.

**Q: A twofer: 1. how is it in rain? Im going to be using it in the tropics, see. 2. What are the dimensions of the floor?**
A: Not sure about dimensions. Check manufacturer website. I used this tent on one ten day trip to utah last fall. It was primarily dry like a desert. There were two nights where it was gusty with thunderstorms. We stayed perfectly dry.

**Q: What is the R Value of this tent?**
A: Not sure, but this isn't a great winter time tent. The floor of the tent sticks out farther than the upper zipper of the rain fly. In the summer time this is great because you can stand in the tent floor while your body is outside the rain fly. In wet weather (even morning dew) this means that when the rain fly is unzipped, it will drip directly into the tent floor. 

So long story short, don't buy this tent for wet weather.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great backpacking/camping tent! Best I have owned!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 16, 2017*

Update 2: I have owned this tent for 7 or 8 years now, and I still stand by my 5 star review. It has been through backpacking, camping, music festivals, rainstorms, you name it, this tent has held up super well! It basically still looks like I just bought it. 10/10 world recommendUpdate: I have owned this tent for just under 3 years and have used in it a wide variety of settings. 5 stars still! This tent has been on backpacking trips up mountain, down to 20 degree weather, in heavy thunderstorms, to festivals, and on casual camping trips. It has withstood through it all, and still looks like new! The best aspect is the amount of rain it can withstand is incredible. If the rain is super heavy and prolonged, it sometimes gets a very small amount of water in, but it mostly stays completely dry on the inside.The footprint makes a WORLD of difference, so much better than a rolled up tarp. 9 times out of 10 only the ground side of the footprint is wet, the tent bottom at the most is very slightly damp (dries with a few shakes in the air)Amazing tent, the best I have owned!_______________________________Original review:This tent is awesome, not to heavy and not too small. Even though it's a small tent, it comfortably slept two 5'11' tall people (backpacking tents are always a little crammed). Perfect for camping or for backpacking trips. Very easy and quick to set up and break down. Very good quality as well. Kept the rain out, and had good air flow. Definitely recommend this tent if you're looking for a decent backpacking tent that won't break the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great experience on my three day trip with my dog.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States April 14, 2022*

Finally got to take this tent out on my vacation from work. I drove out with my Husky to Cedar Hill State Park when the temps were in the mid 60's before Easter. It's a stylish tent! After setup we both slept in it fine. To give some detail, he's a full grown 70 lb dog and I'm a 5'2" girl, and we had plenty of space to ourselves.Could two adults fit? Yeah, to a point. The double storage vestibules would certainly help with that. In my case, I only needed to use the one on my side for my shoes. I tucked the rest of the gear I might need throughout the night (spare blankets since it got into the low 40's at night, leash and harness, dog food, water, bowls, things like that) into a corner of the tent and whatever I didn't need until the next day went back in my truck. I could've stored most of it in the tent and vestibules, but since I wasn't backpacking there was no need.Expanding on bedtime, you can't fit two large rectangular sleeping pads in here, either one large pad or two contoured person-shaped pads.At over 6 lbs the tent is not lightweight for backpacking unless two people share the equipment. I experimented and packed the tent away in my 55 liter Kelty Outskirt along with my basic necessities and it was pretty darn heavy. You *can* use it for backpacking, but you'll have to pack light on the rest of your gear.I can't say anything about water resistance because it didn't rain the whole time we were there, but seeing all the positive reviews about rain I'll go ahead and give that aspect 5 stars until I can update with my own experiences. I noticed the rain-fly didn't stretch all the way down past the area where you're meant to lay your head, but that could've been a user error when I staked the vestibules out as far as they'd go.The mesh storage canopy you can attach on the inside is neat but be careful what you put up there because it might fall out the side onto your head while you're laying down. Can confirm! The storage pocket closer to the ground might be a safer place to put slightly heavier objects like your phone, while the spot above is better for maps, keys, a tent light, etc.I tested the zippers plenty. They were strong and didn't show any signs of weakening after multiple bathroom breaks, and taking things in and out of the tent. I kept that thing zipped shut when not in use as I wanted to prevent as many bugs from getting in as possible. No loose spots after a lot of use, little to no bugs, but I always use Natrapel wipes around the outside.Definitely get the footprint Alps sells separately because the floor of this tent is *thin*.The poles are magnetic! Y'all should've seen my face when I realized. Strong too, no issues with anything breaking. I'd also like to note how easy it was to stretch the pole ends down into the base loops. I've spent 15-20 min struggling with this on other tents.Positive experience from setup to takedown, would recommend to the discerning camper. If anything changes my mind I'll update, but so far I plan on taking this on our next trip, wherever that will be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It has proven to be a good solid choice!
*by  on Reviewed in the United States November 1, 2016*

Review updated 10/3/2018. I have now had this tent for almost three years and camped or backpacked with it about 50 times. This was my second tent I ever purchased, and now I have something like six. This has still been by go-to tent when solo backpacking and conditions allow me to carry a few more pounds (otherwise I can go down to a one person bivy). The rain fly creates two vestibules and that are worth their weight in gold around here. Less expensive tents generally don't have these, and they keep your backpack and shoes covered, and you can cook in more comfort if it is raining/windy/cold.It is big enough for two people but my wife has a 30" air mattress and there isn't enough floor space left for me to get my 19" in there, so when we are together I do now pack a different tent, but it is slightly heavier and no vestibules. This tent is getting older but is still competitive for weight, durability size, and price (but tent prices are going down and this price needs to fall in my opinion).It is not a four season tent for most here in the pacific northwest. The rain fly is solid, but there is a couple inches of space between it and the ground and the inside layer is just mesh. Not that you can't use it in the dead of winter, but it isn't warm and as others noted, snow could just blow inside. It also does not like high winds. One time I was camped out at 7000 feet on Mt. Saint Helens and the wind flattened it. I did have the tent pointed into the wind and the high winds still bent two of the aluminum rods. The wind also blew away the tent carry bag but that's on me. I was able to get replacements from the company and all was well.I got a Hilleberg Unna for those extreme adventures. I have a coleman big tent for summer car camping. I have an REI tent I just got at a garage sale (no vestibule!) for the now getting bigger kids. And a few others.But I kept using this tent for most of my backpacking and camping. I was in in during an all night rainstorm once and it stayed bone dry inside. Half the other campers packed up and went home in the middle of the night because their tents leaked.And as the years go by, I could see the rain fly aging a little. This last weekend I was in the Sisters wilderness and it rained all night, and sadly the rain fly let some water in. I emailed the company the day after I returned, and they are sending a new rain fly for free!You can't beat that! All of these tents now use some siliconized fabric for water resistance and I have heard you get about three years of use from them. So I would have happily paid for another fly.Tents have been getting lighter and less expensive over the last years, but I haven't see a tent with this list of features and good design for less money (yet).
