I spent about 14 nights in one before getting ride of it. Here's why:
1) The entrance is a very poor design, and it's
almost impossible to get in without getting water inside the tent. It's also just plain difficult to get in and out of.
2) Not a big enough vestibule.
3) The mesh is too fine/weak and snags too easily.
4) The ventilation (and subsequent condensation) leaves a lot to be desired.
5) Takes too many guyline points to put up. It's advertised as freestanding, but is most definitely not.
It does its main job, which is protecting you from the elements, but given the other choices out there, I think it's a pretty poor tent aside from the weight and packed size.
