For what it is - it's a very good tent. However, there are some gripes I have with it. First is it's water resistance. I understand that tent is light, but during the trip to the Norwegian mountains with plenty of rain, after some 35mm rain the floor starter to oversaturate and slowly creep water through. I'm fine with rain fly soaking and slowly letting through some water, but not the floor (and that's with added footprint that was set up to prevent major pooling in between groundsheet and floor). Pitching it fly first is a true excersice in creativity and agility - so pitching in the rain overall is rather a challenge. Possible, but not the most pleasant experience, especially after you attach the inner tent. The pole-supported doors are hit-and-miss. Very nice when it works, very annoying in the still yet gusty weather. Otherwise, it's a pretty good tent - plenty storage options, plenty room for two even with Exped's LW mats (as usual, for comfort buy n+1 sized tent, 2-person version would be too tight). Sturdy enough for it's weight. I found it to be perfect summer tent.

Fabulous tent... Bought for my son for his gapyear travels (we went for the 3 man so he could have his surf gear in with him). Fitted in his bag and not too heavy. Easy to put up and fits back in the bag!! He loves it and is on the way to Hawaii♥️

— Show originalA very high-quality tent with incredibly good facilities. I'm 189cm and when I sit down there's still plenty of room on top of my head. There are also lots of pockets for things.| Overall rating |
— Show originalVery light product, easy to fold, quick to assemble.
On the other hand very fragile tent closures, sand has damaged the closures.| Overall rating |
Amazing service, I’m in the UK and had my tent a week after I ordered it. People complain about the import tax but even with that, you are still saving a lot of money! Great prices!

— Show originalGood, light and easy to set up. Inside the tent, an unfathomable number of smart shelves and pockets. I probably would have bought this tent's light cover (mtnGLO), but they weren't available.
A few more ground wedges should be included, so that every anchor point and string of the tent could be attached to the ground. I need it, especially in windy weather. Unbelievable that this has been saved. So I had to buy additional wedges separately.
The bottom of the tent feels so thin that you dare not use the tent except on a really flat surface without a base. That's why I bought the tent manufacturer's own platform at the same time. I considered an inexpensive tarp, but the customized platform is light, the right size and incredibly easy to attach to the corners of the tent.| Overall rating |
— Show originalMissing the footprint, too bad it's not already integrated into the tent| Overall rating |
— Show originalEasy to assemble, high-quality materials. The size is very large, the shape is also efficient because there is a lot of head space left.
The ventilation at one end can be opened from the bottom and at the other from the top so that the air circulates and moisture does not accumulate in the tent. The lower one is not attached directly to the ground either, but directs the air upwards so that the draft does not go to those sleeping inside.Brand
