I love this little lantern. I love mantle lanterns but i do not like the bulk of them. This lantern is very compact and is perfect for my needs. The only con is that if the lantern bounces around too much on a hike you might ruin the mantle. I would recommend always have a spare. And even if you don't have a spare you can still run the lantern in "candle mode".
