Summary: you could get wet
Comment: I used this tent for 10 days on a 13 day bicycle camping trip. Its called a two person tent but it will only comfortably accomodate one. I had plenty of room for all of my gear and I could stretch out completely inside. It effectively kept the bugs out as well. Two people could use it but you'd have to be very close.
It rained really hard several nights I was out and I'm certain that without the tarp I brought along, I would have been very wet. I used the fabric seam sealer and waterproofing silicone spray but I feel I still could have gotten wet. Bring a tarp if you plan on braving the elements.
This tent is super duper light and portable. I used my own stuff sack that kept the thing the size of a football. I strapped the sturdy fiberglass stakes to my top bar.
Overall, I'd say this is a wonderful tent for the money. I stayed dry, I easily lugged it over 990 miles on my bicycle, nothing broke, and it kept the bugs out. All that for under 40 bucks. Nice.

Summary: Broke the first time I used it.
Comment: This was basically a one-use item for me, since the flexible rod which supports the smaller end of the tent split like green wood the first time I used it. I may get one more use out of it, but with the rod split, it was a little wobbly.

Summary: Great value
Comment: I wanted a light inexpensive tent for a bicycle camping trip. This tent was the perfect cost to weight ratio. It was easy to set up, roomy enough for one (Two would be very tight) and some gear. I use it two nights out of a week bike tour. I did not experiece rain. It did well at keeping bugs out. Great for the casual camper!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very small
Comment: this was a little tight for two good sized people but it served it's purpose and for a good price.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Garbage!
Comment: The title of this review is what happened to the tent I purchased. During the night it rained and the tent became so water logged, I could not carry it down the mountain on my back. I left it with other hikers to use as a shoe matt during the night. The tent went from 3lbs., which was a strong selling point to at least 12lbs. of a water logged waste. The rain fly covered the back of the tent, which you then expect the front and entrance to be water proof...do not expect that with this tent. I guess the there is truth to old saying, "You get what you pay for". The 1 star is for being only 3lbs.
