I had a one-man version of this tent and decided it was just a little bit too small for me as I usually take my dog with me. It worked out just great for that purpose. It’s easy to set up and seems and is lightweight compared to other tents of similar dimensions. It can withstand strong winds too ad I had it up in gusty weather with winds that were probably 40 miles an hour or more. However, I did not have it out when it rained so I can’t speak to It’s waterproofness , but I think it would be just fine. The side walls of the tent extend fairly high up so I think it would be very difficult for water to penetrate to it.

I have bough this tent for my 2-3 day back-packing. happy with this which is quite light and versatile. highly recommend.
two vestibules, so double the space for gear storage, and more room for you inside the inner tent.
Would recommend: Yes

The only downside for me. The floor of the bedroom is not true. It is 15 cm shorter in length and 10 cm in width. Because of this, I can't fit a large and regular pad. I focused on this when buying. The real dimensions of the bedroom floor are 210х126х100 см. The tent is wonderful, but why is the manufacturer lying to us?
Would recommend: Yes

I have been borrowing this tent for the past year and loved it enough to buy my own. A super-light, freestanding tent, with plenty of space for one to sleep, sit up, and move around. The two doors are awesome and there are pockets for storage. Fast and easy to set up. I have used it for multi-day backpacking trips such as, PCT sections and on Mt Hood. I did also purchase the footprint as the floor material is thin and fragile.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- two doors
- freestanding
Cons:
- delicate
- footprint sold separately
Would recommend: Yes

An excellent design lightweight tent that is supremely easy to set up and later pack. Many of the features are wonderfully thought out and despite it's somewhat fragile feel of materials, it does appear to be relatively sturdy. The newly designed stakes do tend to run quite small and can be extremely difficult to place into gravel strewn pad areas as there is no way to use your hands to drive in these stakes in (without puncturing a whole in your palm). To drive the stakes one really needs to use the bottom of their shoe/boot, sunken deeply with quite a bit of angle away in order to hold into any ground. The space inside is tight for 2 people, you will both be bumping against your tent mate and the side wall. Still, if that's the price to pay for saving ~ 12-14oz of wt in backpacking over a long haul, that's fine for me, but if more close in or car camping is your thing, do go for the UL3 version as it will provide you significantly more comfortable space.
Would recommend: Yes

I recently purchased the 2 man version so I haven't had a chance to use it. But I also have the 3 man version which I have used for a number of years. It's light weight, durable and easy to set up. A definite buy.
Cons:
- Cost is a bit high but worth it
Would recommend: Yes

It is currently winter and this tent has only been tested indoors. The tent is well made, easy to set up, lightweight. It replaces an old Sierra Design tent which I love but needed a much lighter tent for my thru hike. The pole grommets are very nice as they allow the poles to clip into them making set up very easy. I think this tent will be a fine companion for the next several years.
Pros:
- ease of assembly, stability, seating comfort
- Lightweight & less pricey than other models
Best Used for:
- Thru hiking, backpacking, ultra-light travelers
Would recommend: Yes

I just finished the Wonderland Trail in Washington. 23k of ascent over 94 miles. We had 6 days of good weather and then two of heavy rain. This tent saved my trip. Kept my sleep system dry even waking up with 1.5” of water around the tub one morning.
Pros:
- Weather tight light weight
Cons:
- Fragile-you need to be careful with it.
Would recommend: Yes

This was purchased as a gift for my son for Christmas. I chose it because of the good reviews I found on many different websites. It is very lightweight and will be perfect for his backpacking trips.

Purchased both tent and footprint for a recent trip to BWCA. Experienced high winds (40+mph) and serious rain throughout the week. Tent handled the wind without damage and kept me dry for the whole trip. Easy setup and super light. Highly recommend.
