Good Features
Simplicity at it's best. One pole, plenty high for me to sit up in (i'm 5' 8"). Light weight. Holds up well (though I have been using the ground tarp).
Bad Features
The only complaint I have is that I haven't found a practical way to keep the rain fly open while loading / unloading the tent (sure they make those roll up, loop it in setups but i'm lazy).
Recommended Alternatives
There are quite a few competitors to this model. All are fairly similar. |

Good Features
Incredibly light weight and easy to set up. The bright colors are nice in the morning. No condensation in the tent, though quite a bit on the inside of the fly, but all of it tends to run down the fly instead of dripping into the tent. Basically, I love this tent.
Bad Features
A bit snug for two people, and very little internal storage, also a bit pricey compared to it's (few) competitors, but weighed against the weight and ventilation these are negligible. |

Good Features
No condensation on the inside, even in the smokies next to a river. Roomy, holds two medium adults and a 50 lb mutt. A bright yellow and orange scheme lets any hunters know not to shoot.
Bad Features
Can be drafty. |
