Likes: Could not believe how light and compact it was. Easy to assemble.
Dislikes: Not sure how well it will hold up in bad weather. I would rather have a side entry.

Likes: The tent is very packable and very light.
Dislikes: The only thing that does not suit me well is because of the center backbone type design the sides come in rather shallow making the tent feel smaller inside than the footprint would lead you to think.

Likes: The tent is very light and packable while at the same time it does not seem to give up any performance.
I used it for a 10 day hike, it was only myself sleeping in it and I had a ton of extra room for my pack.
It never rained but a few night the wind was very strong and the tent held up well.
This is basically the lightest tent you can buy from a retail store, after you use it you'll start wondering why other tents are so heavy.
Dislikes: Nothing specific.

Likes: extremely light
Dislikes: It needs to be staked out in order to stand taut and to have fly taut, and stakes are often hard to put in -- whether in the high mountains or the Grand Canyon. (One can tie around boulders.) But such is the trade off for a tent this wonderfully light.

Likes: I bought this because it is an extremely light weight backpacking tent. I used this tent for me and my 85 pound Giant Schnauzer on a 2 week Appalachian Trail hike. When properly staked out, it provided adequate space for us to sleep comfortably. The vesibule protected both our packs and my shoes from the weather. It met all my expectations, but might be too cramped for two large adults.
Dislikes: All 11 stakes are required to properly set up the tent. This is not a problem for me, but is something to be aware of as the tent is advertised as free standing which might create other expectations.

Likes: Great tent but really tight for two people. I like how lightweight it is and how small it packs down. Left lots of room in my pack. I'm not sure if I'll keep it though because I'd only use it when going solo.
Dislikes: This is a comfortable one-person tent but too tight for two people. Big Agnes should have made it just a little bit wider. I also don't like that it is not really a true free standing tent. It requires too much staking to prevent the sides and end of the tent from collapsing in. I always stake my tent anyway, but I don't like having to find so many rocks when the ground is too hard to use tent stakes. You really need to stake out every part and all the side guys. The vestibule is a little small, but okay for one person, and overhangs the tent door when opened. Haven't had it in rain yet, but it looks like it would drip inside the tent when the vestibule is opened.

Likes: This is a awesome tent. It is lightweight, totally waterproof and durable. It sets up quickly and packs up easily. I recommend getting the footprint to help keep it clean. I was camped on a mountain top when a heavy thunder, lightning and rain storm blew through and it was dry and stable. It is great for one person plus all your gear.
Dislikes: Make a colored tent stake that is more visible to avoid tripping.
