at sierratradingpost Summary:
Overall I love this tent. It has held up well and weighs just over 3 pounds. The only thing that needs to be changed is a little more vestibule space and the fly needs to be closer the the ground to keep things from getting damp. I have used this tent a lot in the smokies and some on the lower portions of the AT. For the price to wieght ratio, it cant be beat. Customer Service:

at Anderson Sporting Go Summary:
I LOVE THIS TENT! It has served me very well in many backpacking situations, from the wet Cascades in Oregon and Washington, the Rockies in Colorado, and mesquite desert in Texas. I have had no problems with the tent in the 3 years I've owned it. I am 5ft-9 and it fits me well. The only thing I would change is have a longer rain-fly, and a little bit larger vestibule. Customer Service:
Bought newer-model ground-cloth (which i recomend buying) that the clips didn't fit, so I sent it in and they replaced the clips quickly and for no extra cost. Similar Products Used:

at REI Summary:
ok first off i want to say that this is a perfect one man tent, good ventilation, good weight, enough space that i can sit up and change my clothing in and very weather proof (as good as a hoop tent can be) the only time that i have had any condensation at all was when i slid down to far in a down bag and blocked the screen at the foot of the tent. i have had this tent out for anything from ultra lite fast packs, to week long solo trips above 10,000+ ft. i have been snowed on (8 inches of heavy spring snow) rained on, hailed on, plenty of heavy wind above tree line in the uintas (up to 13,000+ feet) and this thing hasent ever let me down. the ultra lite is only a few oz. lighter and that comes from the carbon poles and the shortened steak loops i say save the cash and get a case of moosehead!! all in all i think that this is a great tent for the $$$ and i dont see much that could improve it. so go get one and see the (ultra) lite!!!

at campmor Summary:
I bought this tent last year to take when I went backpacking with the guys, or alone. I like this tent. It is like my clip 3 except smaller, a lot smaller. It has all the room I need for a good nights sleep. I can set up in it and I dont feel crowded. I am 5'9" tall and weigh 240lbs.it has all the qualities of the clip flashlight. the thing I like the best is it only weights a little over 3lbs. not bad for a comfortable tent. It has plenty of room for me and my gear. I store my gregory shasta pack In the vestibule with no problems. I can put all my gear from my pack in the front of the tent next to my head. All of my Gear is out of the weather. As far as the space Inside of the tent I have all the room I need for one person. The vestibule Stores my pack just fine. All in all I have to say that this is a great one man tent Lightweight and all the storage space you need. The biggest asset is its lightness and its roominess. I couldn't stand a bivy sack. this is a tent to take on an AT through hike. True this is not a tent you would like to spend your days in but it is all you need for sleeping the night away.

at REI Summary:
This is a great little solo tent. For reliable, weatherproof, three-season use where fast traveling is key. I've used this tent above 10,000 feet in wind/rain/hail storms and never has it leaked (even before I seam-sealed it). Set up is easy and it offers plenty of head room and storage space for the average person (I'm 5' 9' 160 lbs). And it doesn't feel like you're sleeping in a coffin. Nice job SD.
