We really liked the system for tightening the guide cords to anchor the tent.

While the tent is comfortable for two adults, it doesnt leave any extra room for gear or pets.
It’s a bit smaller than other two-person tents we’ve tested.
The quality of the fabric overall is top notch from the tent material to the bag it comes in.

The inside of the tent doesnt have many pockets or compartments for storing loose gear.
Considering how thin the material appears, we were shocked at how durable it was throughout our tests.
The assembly instructions are easy to follow with standard components and a basic diagram depicting what steps to take.
Disassembly was also very simple and required no instructions.
After five months of use, the materials all still look good as new.
