Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ive used this in torrential rain in hawaii, camped int he drakensberg and on the beaches of costa rica. FOr lightweight backpacking u might as well buy this if u gonna go cheap. the total packweight is probably 2 lbs max. its the lightest thing ive seen south of $200 - sometimes weighing half of other brands. Im 6-2 and slept ok in this with a shorter female friend comfortably enough - This is perfect for hot days and keeping bugs out - Pros: Super super lightweight Packs tiny Floor tarp section is nice and high off the ground for water running by etc Construction is basic enough - setup is cool. Anything can be fixed with duct tape Lighter color keeps temps down with sunlight Floor section is waterproof Cons: Only one entrance - so not much breeze when its cooking at night Small chimney - again, not so good for getting a breeze thru the tent Waterproof "hat" is kinda useless - i used a full one from another tent - perfect combo Overall - this is an excellent little tent. What I wish it had: A 2nd mesh window with an external waterproof zipper for better airflow - possibly on the adjacent side - in case it rains you can angle the openings away from the rain Larger rood mesh section for cooler evenings and maybe some star gazing :) A slightly larger rain-fly with space to leave shoes / small pack outside tent incase of rain (a good pack cover could keep it dry too) Rain fly with loops so u can pull it away from the inner layer - this prevents the water from coming thru better Again - this is a GREAT little cheap a$$ tent - its server me VERY well. If u are smarter, carry a small sewing kit and dont be afraid to strengthen weak points and/or fix small tears. A high end clear patch kit would also be a great addition - not the glue bicycle type kits, but the peel and stick types - :) Bear in mind im 6-2 and managed fine in this tent.. about as small as i could go - but def space for a 2nd half If i could - I ould combine this with the ozark trail from w-mar(t), it has nice size mesh windows that will DEF allow more airflow.
