Likes: This tent is EXTREMELY easy and fast to set up. Absolutely love it.
Dislikes: Not enough tie downs. Stakes are factory...bend real easily. Just will have to spend the extra cash to get better stakes and have to get more PolyCord to tie fly down.

Likes: Size and weight. Also the easy set up
Dislikes: This was not the manufacturer problem, but my son set the tent up and before he staked it the wind picked it up and it skid across the driveway. This caused multiple tears and holes in the rainfly. After multiple attempts to order a replacement one were unsuccessful (not in stock) we had to patch it with their recommendation of tenacious tape. It really seems like it will do the job for the repairs, but it's a shame that we have to have patches on a new tent.
So the only problem is getting a part replaced. THE TENT IS GREAT..

Likes: Not a drop inside, and it rained heavily with a lot of wind. The space inside is not huge but it works for 2 normal sized persons.
Dislikes: The vestibules could a bit bigger.

Likes: Awesome tent for the price. Setup is very quick for one person to do. Packs down quite small and is relatively light.
Dislikes: I wish there was a door on each side of the tent, but not really a deal breaker for me.

Likes: This is an awesome little tent. It's easy to set up by yourself (5 minutes or less), comfy for 1 person, and one of the lightest tents on the market for a reasonable price. You can get lighter tents, but you'll be paying an arm and a leg for them. It has two little corner pouches for small items and a small gear loft that I used to hold my head lamp to light the tent.
Dislikes: It was difficult getting in and out of the tent, but I suspect it's the small size and not the design. I wish they had a door on each side -- I'm not looking forward to climbing over my tent mate to get out. It will be a tight fit when there are two people using it. It did have a little condensation in the morning, but that didn't bother me. Finally it was awkward trying to unzip the rainfly from inside the tent, but with the design, I figured that would be the case.

Likes: This is the first tent I've ever bought and used it for 2 3 day trips so far. If you put the poles outside the pack, the tent packs down well. It is amazingly easy to set up, even for a novice! Awesomely light too.
Dislikes: I wish it had some of the nifty reflective adornments the other tents in my group had, it was tougher to find in the dark.

Likes: Quick to set up, good size for 2 adults. Quality seems good for the price. I haven't had a chance to really put it to the test yet, but so far so good.
Dislikes: A little heavy, but for the price it's a good value.

Likes: I found this tent to be lightweight, easy to set up, roomy for its weight, and packs small. The screen not only keeps the weight down but ventilates the tent better than my old nylon one. I haven't used it in a heavy rain storm or snow load yet but I think it will be fine as the sides wrap up for protection.
Dislikes: One end is larger than the other and it was problematic at first set up for the footprint but once you learn which way is larger its fine.

Likes: Great tent for the price. Pros include: Relatively lightweight, High quality construction, Lots of mesh for ventilation, Full-coverage rain fly with taped seams, and it comes with handy mesh storage attic.
I used this tent for the first time on a week-long backpacking trip in the Boulder Mountains in Utah. It was easy to set up and held up well. I have yet to use the tent in a rainstorm, so I'm not sure how it holds up to rain.
Dislikes: Flimsy stakes. The stuff sack for the tent is much larger than it needs to be.

Likes: EASY! I read the set up instructions on line when I ordered. I intentionally left them in the box the first time I set it up and STILL had it all done in 10 minutes.
Dislikes: I prefer to use it without the stakes. You MUST stake the fly for the gear storage area to be useful BUT if you don't need that time the doors back.

Likes: Sets up quickly and with ease. Color coded corners adds to the simplicity of set up.
Dislikes: I could have used another inch or two in length. At 6'3" I feel a little cramped, but overall I like the tent!

Likes: Easy to setup, about a 1/3rd of the price of the big agnes copper spur ul2, so I'm happy. Overall, cheap price for a nice 2 person tent. Did I mention this was backcountry magazine's editor's choice?
Dislikes: Not as light as other more expensive tents, but it does the job. Good for backpacking. It collects a bit of moisture in the rainfly in the mornings, but it doesn't affect comfort at all.

Likes: Very light and roomy tent. Perfect for backpacking. Plenty of room for two but light enough to pack in yourself for the most spacious one-man shelter. Easy to set-up (did it myself in the matter of minutes) and color-coded fly connections make it idiot proof. Great tent at an exceptional value.
Dislikes: With only one vestibule and one door it can be a little awkward for your partner to get in and out. But I'm sure that was a choice Kelty made to reduce the weight. Also the gear attic has no hooks to attach it to the top of the tent, you have to tie it in. But again, I'm sure the missing plastic hooks saves a bit of weight so I just tied the attic permanently in. Doesn't interfere with rolling it up. So not a big deal once you install it. All these things are minor, still an amazing tent!

Likes: Nice size for two person tent. Was very light and easy to set up. Rain fly provided extra room outside of tent.
Dislikes: Tent stacks bend easily. Sleep on coast and was cold. Too much netting let wind in. Rain fly flapped despite all ties connected. Condensation in morning did get inside tent walls wet. Not sure I would rate this for humid area.

Likes: I haven't used this tent outside yet and I'm giving it a 5 star rating based on what I've seen so far. I did however set it up in my living room just to make sure I knew what I was doing. The tent is very light and has plenty of vetilation. Poles are easy to fit together and work well. All clipping hooks are the correct size so you won't have to worry about the tent slipping off of the poles.
One positive is the rainfly. I have had rainfly's that fly off in the middle of night. With this tent...it won't happen to you. The fly has clips and cords that pull it into place. No pockets, but does come with the netting that you can tie up to your liking.
Dislikes: Only one entrace so you might need to climb over someone...but it could also be a plus depending on who your camping with;)
