Bought this tent to do motorcycle camping since it was small and light weight.The tent went up without issue, required no seam sealing, and for the entire trip it rained and I was dry inside for the most part.Pros:Rapid setup, quick and easy. nuff said on that. The marking literature for this tent is 100% accurate.Small pack size and quite light. It fit into my MotoFizz pack on the back of the bike easily and still left room for a sleeping bag, all my cooking gear, and a ton of extra grip. With the paw print and foot print installed it still fits the compression sack easily.Nice options for having a "mud room" upfront or a full screened front.Good ventilation.Cons:The small size comes at the price of almost no room for any gear in the tent along with you. to keep off the sides of the tent there was barely enough room for my helmet, and other riding gear in the tent with me. But I made it work. In the future I may upgrade to the 2P tent just to give a bit more comfort when camping in the future. But I am a big guy and a smaller guy, or less riding gear would get along just fine.Water proof... mostly. In the 3 days of continuous rain while camping, the tent did very well. never did it leak or get me wet. As long as you never tough the side or top. the issue with a single wall tent is that if you do touch anything the water comes right in. When the tent is barely bigger than you... that's a problem. I found condensation and/or surface water clinging to the walls after a night of rain. I friend bumped the tent guy rope and shuck the tent... and I rained on me for a second inside.My solution was to coat the center and top of the tent with a good covering of spray on silicone waterproofing which should help the water bead and run off better in the future rather than just using the nylon as a surface to wick down.The price is pretty steep for this tent, but you are buying a top shelf, backpacking and serious adventure level tent that is built in the absolute top quality. This is very literally, an out of the box, ready tent. No seam sealing needed, no prep really needed, just drop and go.Besides a massive Kelty 6 person base camp tent I own, this is easily the best bit of tent I have ever purchased.

PROS-You can set this thing up in the rain and everything inside will stay dry.-Comes in a nice waterproof compression sack, so packing it up wet is not a problem.-Packed, it is very small and light for a tent of this size.-Very sturdy, high winds don't affect the tent (as long as it is properly staked of course).-No-see-um sized screening (if you do enough camping, trust me, you will want this).-Good ventilation-Turns heads when you set this guy up, not your typical tent.-Lots of room inside - I'm 5'8" and had plenty of room for all my backpacking gear as well as myself inside the tent. I could sit at either end of the tent with plenty of head room. Could probably even squeeze in 2 people in a pinch.-Love the option to have either a vestibule or extra interior space.CONS-Since it is a single walled tent, condensation can build up on the interior and can get you a little wet when jostled.-Not freestanding - You have to stake (or tie off) this tent to erect it, so watch out for hard/frozen ground.-It takes a little practice to set it up quickly.Overall this is an excellent backpacking tent. The other people in my group were jealous. It was definitely worth the investment.

Wanted something small and light for my motorcycle. I have tried several and this one is the best so far. Very easy and quick to set up; time will tell how durable it is. There is a learning curve to figure it out. I would suggest you work with it before you try it in the field.
