Does NOT do well in rain, but overall good little tent
It's a great fair weather tent. Easy to set up BUT you need tent polls, trees, or trekking polls to stand up. I took this out for a float trip that ended up being quite rainy and ended up with condensation on the inside. I ended up using 1 tarp under the tent and 1 tarp as a lean-to in order to keep mostly dry inside.

Decent tent.
This tent is great for the price. It is listed as a 1 person tent but two 200lbs men slept in it comfortably. I bought it to use while taking a few days motorcycle ride and if you have extended bags it will it in there perfectly plus still have room for more stuff. I would suggest giving the top a good coat of camp dry just to add a little bit more protection from the rain.

Nice quality lightweight tent
I previously put up a one star review when I was frustrated because I couldn't find any instructions. Since then I found them, attached to the inside of the tent bag. The instructions ARE minimal, as others have said, but once I got it outside it was fairly easy to set up. If you are planning to use your hiking poles as tent poles, please be aware that you will need 2 trees or some sturdy sticks if you plan to put the awning up. The tent is quite roomy, good quality, and the seams appear to be sealed. A great value at $35

Awesome tent, check seam at lantern hook
Perfect for the $, seam at lantern hook waterproofing was hastily applied and leaked. Little silicone should do the trick. Test gear at home people.

Not too shabby for a budget tent.
Obviously there’s better tents out there once you start spending more money. However, for an $80 tent, I don’t hate it. Not quite a 4 season tent, but definitely good for 3 seasons and the later fall months. It leaks a little in heavy rain so I throw a tarp over it and I’m golden. Doesn’t come with much instructions, but if you’ve ever set up a tent before, it’s pretty easy to figure out. Easy one person set up. No footprint either, so you’ll have to buy that separately. Overall, not too shabby for the money spent. Could be better, could be worse.

Looking good!
Only done one trip so far, so I can't comment on long term use, but managed to get the green one for £42 with an amazon 30% discount.. You can't fault It for the money. If you search the tents name on YouTube you'll find a video review I did. I'm liking it so far and will definitely be using it on my next woodland wildcamp.

Light, open and deceptively spacious
I took a chance on this model, having always had a longing for a Baker style tent. I Bought it eyes open, knowing it didn’t come with poles, because I had a plan for that. So how is it?So far, it’s really good. I’ve put it up twice, and slept in it for one night. It is big enough to fit a fishing bed into and still leave space for kit, so it passes the comfort test. The porch is high enough for me to sit in my chair underneath, and big enough that I could fit a small table in there as well. The porch roof doubles as a closable door and can be fully zipped down onto the sides of the sides of the main tent. The roof also has sufficient flexibility to be given (hopefully) enough of an angle so rainwater doesn’t pool on the top..... in theory, anyway. The day and night it was up had no rain, so I have to be honest and say I cannot judge as yet it’s rainworthiness. It claims to have a hydrostatic head of 3000; if true that would seem sufficient for a weekend camping in the UK.One feature that folks who have camped in normal tents should be aware of: the door into the tent, and the wall around it are only mesh - don’t expect privacy. Anyone who has hammock camped however will find this no problem at all. I actually like looking out of the tent, snug in my bag, watching the world go by at night; but I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.As it is, I’m very pleased with what I’ve got here. If you’ve read the description, and know exactly what’s being sold here, I hope you’ll agree with me that this is a very nice little tent that packs small and reasonably light and has a lot of potential. It only loses a star because of the features I mention above that might not appeal to everyone. However, purchase with your eyes open, and I think you’ll give it that extra star. I know I did.

Spacious, light, compactable, fast setup post-trial. No poles & ground tarp (but worth it!)
It took me a while to figure out how to lay it down and start setting up. 30 mins the first time, bcs of all the flappy bits. (I labeled the sides and corners for ease in the future).But after I did, and tightly staked the trekking poles (holding the 2 main corners) and the sticks (holding the vestibule flap), it was perfect. I set it up during a very windy day and it was completely fine.I loved not needing anything else but the items that were provided with the tent.It shouldn't take more than 8 mins to set up once you've figured out the stakes and pre-looped/tied the ropes for the staking out.Good light stakes, they didn't bend at all as I hammered them down with a rock.System:I paired the set up with 2×Mt100 hiking poles from Decathalon (overhand grip), a relefree sleeping pad (197cm×64cm-could fit 2), and a 10000mah 8 inch rechargeable clip on fan (lasts over 10-12 hours on the low setting).I was so happy!Room for improvement:It would be cool if they introduced 2 compactable poles for the main frame and a ground tarp (since the tent material is one layer).I'll re-review once I test it out in the rain.

Perfect little, big tent
So I would have given this tent 5 stars if I didn't get dripped on, I was a little dubious about sleeping in this tent in the rain but thought I'd go ahead and try it out.The space inside is amazing for what is classed as a 1 man tent you could easily fit 2 people comfortably, the setup was fast and simple a little bit of stretching to get it perfect but from out of the bag to gear inside was less than 5 minutes, there is loads of room for an airbed, bags, boots and even a table.The bug net front door is fantastic you feel safe and secure inside with all the benefits of being out in nature as the large open bug net fronting gives you a true feel of being outdoors.The only reason I haven't given this 5 stars is once the wind really picked up some rain managed to leak in through the top seam but now I've sprayed waterproof sealant allover I'm guaranteeing this will be my new favourite go to when I'm heading out to the woods.

Great woods tent where there is less heavy rain! Not so good ina field!
The tent holds up really well in the woods, you can play around with the setup if you have various other poles such as hiking sticks, telescopic poles etc and it may surprise you like it did me.But I wouldn't want to try it in the rain in the middle of field as the tent can be a bit saggy in places without the tension from the poles and guy ropes attached to trees.With the porch open the tent roof is flat so it would be rubbish in downpour, which is why I use the telescopic pole under the porch to angle the roof + the woods shelter the tent from terrential rain. But I am learning to like it for its own mysteriousism
