The Gear Shack Review after actually using the tent:
This is a very nice tent without the nice tent price. The bag that it comes in and packs in is of particular note. It folds up nicely and easily into the side of the storage bag rather than from the top of a cylinder. Then there are rugged nylon webbing carry handles that make for easy moving around camp. It's easy to set up because of the way the tent fabric has hook that just hook onto the poles. Same with the rain fly, it hooks on. Much easier than trying to push poles through holes. The tent itself is really rigid. Moreso than most I would say and the door is up high enough that it's easy to keep sand out of the tent. There are plenty of pockets inside, two and the vestibule is also big enough for plenty of drying area on rainy days. I can sit up in the tent and change my shoes or pants, and that's a big bonus. The color is cool. It's bright enough to stand out and be able to find it again, but not so bright that you look like a first aid shelter or something.
