I bought this from someone other than Amazon to replace my 15 year old Eureka Timberlite backpacking tent. I don't do much backpacking anymore, but needed a tent that sets up and knocks down quickly (for river trips), and holds me and my gear if it rains. Like my old Timberlite, this is a quality tent at price that is MUCH more sane than the big names. My Timberlite stood up to some pretty stiff storms and winds, and I expect this will, too. For anything other than 4th season (winter) camping, this is the tent I take.

Bought this tent after setting it up in the store showroom. I have several other tents, but I bought this one primarily because it's extremely lightweight it goes up so quickly.

I camped all over Alaska in this tent for 6 months last summer. This tent does not leak even in a heavy down pour. In fact, I got flooded out a gravel bar one night when the the river flooded and rose, and one end of this tent was is 6 inches of water. It felt like I was sleeping on a waterbed, but everything stayed dry inside this tent.

I used this tent mostly when I was planning to spend just one night at a campsite. If I planned on staying at a campsite for several days or more, I used my Cabela's Outback Lodge as a larger and more comfortable base camp tent.

Over all, it's a very good tent for the money and it's just the right size for one adult, however I wouldn't want to try and fit 2 adults inside of it.

This tent is very light and I saw that as a big plus.
On the first trip I went with it just setting it up caused several holes in the fabric.
The fabric is real thin there is only single layer and its not durable.
Might suit for a summer camping on a beach (soft surface).

Perfect little tent. Just the right size for my Husband and I. We needed a lightweight tent that could fit in our suitcase for our flight to California. Spending some time in Big Sur And driving the coast it turned out to be the perfect size, Perfect weight, and so easy to set up. Plenty of room to make it through the night with plenty of extra room in the rain flap to store our gear. So if you are planning a lightweight camping expedition, venture on with this tent. Keep on keeping on!

I bought this tent for an overnight river camping trip. It was perfect. It was light and easy to set up. It slept two of us, very cozy. I would definitely recommend this for anyone trying to travel light.

I purchased this tent from Amazon one month ago. When my husband set up the tent, we found the actual size is much smaller than it should be. We measured the floor size for this tent. It is 7'3 X 4'10 (221X147cm), the size for Lite'n Up 2 rather than Lite'n Up 3 with size 7'6 X 5'11. It made you feel like you bought a queen-size tent, however Amazon sent you a full sized one. I called Amazon customer service, I was told to sent back this one and buy another Eureka Lite ' n Up 3-Season 2-Person Tent from Amazon. However, the new one arrived last week still is a Lite ' n Up 2-Season 2-Person tent. I trusted Amazon all the time and spent thousands of dollars there. I have to say I am very disappointed.
