What reviewers say
CleverHiker names it the best semi-freestanding tent in both its backpacking and ultralight guides. They praise the low weight for a pole tent, the useful pockets and solid build. They also say it is tight for two people, less durable than heavier tents, and has no rainfly vents; one guide criticizes the door design.
Good
- Very light for a pole tent
- Good pocket layout
- Quality construction
Not so good
- Tight for two
- Thin fabrics need care
- No fly vents
Who it's for
Solo backpackers who want a light pole tent with room to spread out, or two hikers who don't mind close quarters. Pairs who want space should choose a wider tent.
