I have used this tent extensively backpacking on the AT, in Shenandoah NP, at Philmont Scout Ranch, and during a solo excursion on Wheeler Peak in New Mexico. While there must be better one man tents out there, this tent hits a price/value point that is hard to beat. Good points-lightweight material, excellent construction, it really is under 3 pounds packed, free standing setup, and ample room inside. Bad points-smallish vestible, needs staking out to get the most room out of it. This tent is longer than most solo tents and could fit a +6 foot person. There's adequate room inside to fit a pad and bag plus loose gear jammed up into the head corners. To get the most out of it one must stake out the side points at the foot end-this isn't need to erect the tent but to spread the foot end out. It has a freestanding body design that only needs three stakes to tie it down, but five are recommended to spread the foot out. The stakes that come with it are not throwaways but are excellent quality V type stakes (mine came with ten stakes). Lots of mesh on the tent body, so ventilation is excellent. The fly has enough material to allow one to guy it out along the sides to get the most ventilation while getting rain away from the body-I have never gotten wet in this tent while riding out some wicked weather. The doorway can be opened from either the top or bottom, so one can make a top vent that can be quickly closed. You can even sit up in it-at least I can do so within the 38 inch peak at the head end. The vestible comes down sharply so there is enough room for boots and maybe a small/medium pack. It appears to me that the designers chose to maximize room inside the tent over storage space, which is an acceptable compromise in my opinion. I made a Tyvek ground cloth which fits inside the stuff sack along with the tent. The entire packed arrangement weighs 2 lbs, 15 oz and measures 7"x15". Short of using a tarp or a single wall tent such as the Shires Tarptent it is hard to get a solo tent with this much interior room that weighs less than 3 pounds.

I use this thing for darn near everything from sections hikes of the AT, to over nighters with my friends who aren't as enthusiastic about hiking as I am... As another reviewer stated, to maximize room you should probably stake it out completely. It does make for more room that way... but in a pinch in some bad weather you can get away with just the three... That being said, I am relatively short, only 5'7, so there was more than enough room in the thing for myself and my pack (I do my hiking with an osprey ATMOS 65, so about a mid size pack). It is free standing and basically a trained chimp could set it up. The stakes are reusable and work just fine... I have had no problems with the zipper, I like many have never gotten wet from external sources... And for the price/weight ratio it is unbeatable.

This is quite possibly the largest single person tent out there. I an 6'4" and there is room to spare! The tent is also very light at just over 2 lbs. Overall I am very happy with this tent.
