I bought this as my first backpacking tent, and although we've had some good (but heavy) times, it is not worth the money. I have used this tent multiple times in the wind and it has failed every time. I even added additional guy lines. The fly on the non-door side is too small to let wind appropriately come up under or over it. The poles don't maintain their X structure well and slide/flatten into one another in the wind. Basically, if it's windy, expect the side wall to literally lay on your body.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While a little on the heavy side, this is a great tent to start backpacking with. I've taken it out a few times now and it has worked out great. The tent is very roomy, I had space ar my head and feet to store gear amd the vestibule had plany of room for my pack. This is a solid tent.

Disappointed

The material used for the floor and footprint feels quite cheap and slippery compared to similar priced tents, like Big Anges. I laid down inside in this tent in the backyard and closed the zipper door to get a feel for the amount of space inside: I started to feel claustrophobic. Not sure if this will happen in another one person tent or I need a bigger tent. If I kept the tent I don’t feel it would last a few years given the material used. Disappointed.

Great addition to my gear closet.

I needed a lighter weight, solo or summer as most of my dear is three season and winter. While there are lighter options out there, this 10 is perfect for me.

Great tent!

I bought this tent to trek Torres del Paine the O circuit. I experienced many different climates and there were nights that the wind was just unbearable. However, the tent held on strong, it was semi light weight and extremely easy for one person to put up even with the windy weather. It was affordable and I am so happy I chose this tent for my trek. Highly reccomend.

Im very pleased with this tent

The most extreme occasion that ive used this tent so far was when i camped by a lake where temp got down to 16F at night. I left the vent at the roof open and also left the top zipper in the rain fly (the zipper next to the door zipper) half open. In the morning the outer side of the tent was entirely covered with frost but i didn't have any frost or ice on the inner mesh. I accidentally had left my backpack in the vestibule in a way that only half of it was actually in the vestibule and that half was covered with frost but the other half did not have any frost on it. The only thing that i do not like about this tent is that foot print does not stay attached to the poles or the tent once the tent is fully set up. The reason is that the size of the foot print is slightly bigger than the size of the tent. If u wanna move ur tent once uve set it up (before uve staked it) the foot print flys off.

Great product

Light and not a drop of water inside during rain

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, so good. On my first trip out with the Tungsten 1 person tent, it rained pretty heavily in the middle of the night and not a drop of water inside. It is a super small tent, but that's to be expected for such a light backpacking option.
