Likes: Great tent for the cost sensitive backpacker. The quality of Kelty tent was amazing at this price. Being in BSA, I have used a large number of tents over the years. This one had all the feature of the "high" end tents without the cost. The performance has been great; use the tent one weekend during heavy rain. Nothing got wet inside the tent.

Dislikes: The weight is a little heavy for long backpacking trips, we split the tent between two hikers.

Likes: Advertised packed weight: 7 lbs 8 oz
Measured packed weight: 6 lbs 15 oz (That’s a nice bonus!)

Pros:
-Fast setup time for one person.
-Very waterproof in downpours. Good taped seams.
-Good ventilation when fly is taken off. Good for star gazing.
-Very good stability in 50mph winds. Be sure to use the fly’s Velcro straps in this scenario.
-large vestibule for shoes and backpacks
-one of the lightest 4-man double wall freestanding tents out there.
-mesh pockets for small items
-comes with gear loft
-takes up little space in the car trunk.
-large easy-to-use zippers

Dislikes: Cons:
-The aluminum stakes bend easily. Recommend replacing with titanium or aluminum gutter nails.
-No windows.

This is not a Con but other notes:
- Can sleep 4 if they are less than 6’. If taller, then can only sleep 3 if rotated 90 degrees.
- Zip the fly door before staking out.
- Stake out fly for better ventilation
