This is a nice cheap tent. It was worth what I paid, but no more. It can only be set up where you have soil for the tent pegs. It won't stand on it's own. The roof is almost all mesh, so it should have been listed for warm weather use. The fly is conveniently sewed on one side, but it must be staked to secure it.

This is a nice tent at a very economical price. Its just the right size for two full grown adults. I went backpacking with it in West Virginia and it worked out very well. Light, compact, and functional. No problems to report...though I would highly recommend using a sleeping mat with a sleeping bag...just a sleeping bag is not enough...the floor is paper-thin like most tents, so do yourself a favor, get a comfortables night sleep, and invest in a sleeping mat as well.

I bought this tent as a temperary one sleeper. It is good for the price you pay for it. The bottom of the tent is made of the same mesh that the tent is made out of so it is not waterproof. You need soft enough ground for your pegs, otherwise the tent will not function properly. This would be great for one person and okey for two smaller people (one person would sleep the best.) This is not bad considering the price. I would also only use it if I knew there was going to be good weather and if it was not going to be too cold. Other than that, I would say this is an overall good purchase for the price.
