Great tent. Plenty of room for 1, just enough for 2 with minimal gear inside. It sets up in 5 minutes once you do it a couple of times. Be sure to stake it out as it gives much more room. Fast Fly option is also a plus if you want to travel without the mesh tent part. Has reflective markings that aid in setting it up at night. Very compact when rolled up in the bag and fits in the pack easily.

This is a great tent! Super easy to setup. A bit snug depending on your size with two people but I can't complain, I knew what the size was when I bought it. For one person it is really nice. Real easy to setup and break down. Doesn't get much lighter for the price.

The tent is awesome for the weight. Snug for two avg. height people, but not unreasonable. The vestibule can accommodate boots/clothing for two or one large backpack. If you need the fly for rainy weather, make sure you guy out the long sides to keep them off the mesh tent wall.

I just tried this Tent for the weekend at woodland valley. This tent is very easy to setup. Sl2 is great for one person with the pack inside. For 2 people it's tight, But over all this tent is great.

The fly on this wonderful tent needs to be redesigned to allow for cross-ventilation. Otherwise, I am very happy with it.

Amazing product. Big Agnes isn't a very big brand and you probably haven't herd of them, but they make some amazing gear. This is one of the lightest 2 person tents out there. It is very roomy, comfortable, lightweight, durable, compactable, and keeps out all of the bugs.

Practically sets itself up. Very Lightweight for freestanding tent. Sturdy. Good contruction. Nice features like flurescent lines. Dry and comfy in heavy rains. Good construction. Easy to break down and pack up. Packs well. Fairly compact.
A small two man tent. But just barely enough room for two medium sized men.

Performed well on long trips on the AT.
Like it a lot.
