Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Lots of space
Two adults will not feel cramped in this tent and they will still have room for their stuff. With the base size of 5 foot X 7 foot 6 inches it offers lots of space compared to many other 2 people tents. Additionally there are separate entrances with roomy vestibules for each person.
Pro Comfortable to sit in the tent
The center height of the tent is 3.8 feet making it comfortable to sit in the tent without touching the tents walls.
Pro Great ventilation
The mesh roof, side windows and mesh door windows allow to vent the tent properly in warm summer days. And if it gets too cold, simply zip the door and windows closed to trap that heat inside on cool nights.
Pro Can be used in harsh weather
Having a 1500 mm polyester UV resistant rainfly in a combination with the sealed floor seems will provide protection against elements and wind. Additionally the floor extends 4 inches up the sides of the tent creating a bathtub-style floor will keep puddles leaking in.
Pro Mesh roof
The mesh roof improves ventilation and allows the tent to be used for star-gazing
Pro Great value
Despite being very cheap the tent has a good quality build with a welded floor, a vestibule for your stuff and a waterproof rainfly. This mostly is enough to fulfill most of the casual camper needs.
Pro A vestibule where to store your stuff
At the entrance of the tent there’s a vestibule area that is weatherproof so you can store your stuff there without the risk that it will get wet.
Pro Holds out rain
This tent is fully waterproof which can be used in rainy days. With the inverted seams, welded floors, and full rain-fly, this tent will keep you dry and you will not wake up in a puddle.
Pro Fast set-up
The 1 pole design can be set up faster than two pole designs. Just make sure to follow the sewn to the carry bag instruction.
Pro Great for stargazing

Cons
Con Heavy
Weighing 7.4 pounds it's heavier than many other 2 person tents.
Con Awkwardly placed storage pockets
There’s a mesh pocket on each side of the tent for each person. Unfortunately they aren’t on the same side but aligned diagonally meaning that for one the pocket will be where his head is and for the other where his feet is.
Con Non coverable windows
The tent has 2 rather large windows that can’t be closed or covered. If you want total privacy you will need to get creative to close them.
Con Heavy for its size
Weighing 7.8 pounds, the tent is rather heavy and not the best option for backpack camping.
Con Isn’t freestanding
The tent isn’t freestanding so you can’t use it in places where you can’t secure the tent to the ground nor you can carry it around assembled.
Con Only one entrance
There's only one entrance for the tent. While it's large, still there is a chance that you will disturb the other person when getting out of the tent.
