15.11.2023Won't give up!
Got mine 2 years ago, the goal was to take it in fishing expeditions to remote islands and in some hikes. It had to hold herself against tropical rains and strong strong winds. The first test came on the first trip, got a hurricane cruising by the island I was fishing, and we got winds up to 80km/h, with some gusts going over. The tent held like a champ, the stakes were fine and didn't start to crack. After that, got massive massive rains and not a single drop went through.
In the course of these two years, it did already 10 trips, went up to a mountain top, got massive winds and ice all over it (I know it is not meant for that, but had to make do with what I had at the time!), and got covered in salt because of camping very close to the sea. It keeps going strong, not failing me once. I'm supper happy with it. Not too heavy, not too light. Just the right tool for the job, it simply endures when the elements are going wild. The canopy fabric is holding perfectly fine, giving that I try to clean it and rinse it as well as I can before packing it, and after the trip, I stretch it out to dry properly and get rid of any humidity. I do the same with the rainfly, and so far so good.
I'm loving the tent and I plan on keep putting mine through hell in crazy expeditions. I know a lot of people complain about the rainfly failing miserably, but so far mine is doing really well. One of the places I go more often is the Azores, and there I constantly get massive rains. I sleep under the rain like a baby. Don't know if I was lucky or not, but I can't complain.
I'll attach an image of my last adventure!

I've used the tent numerous times since its purchase in summer 2022 , including some pretty stormy weather in the English Lake District and it has stud up to everything with ease. The double entrance provides a storage area that allows the inner tent to remain free of equipment and increase the sense of space and comfort.
At the price I think it would be hard to find a better option that provides basic base-camping and high mountain shelter with the appropriate specification.

If you've got more of a budget or are looking to upgrade, this is a seriously good option. It's a little bit on the heavier side but after all it is a 2P Tent. The fly sheet had loads of condensation but there was none on the inner tent, so we were dry all night. This also comes with a ground sheet, so you can make sure you aren't directly sleeping on wet ground. It's easy to put up and take down and can most definitely be packed smaller than the bag it came in (I'll be looking to buy a separate smaller dry bag as a replacement). Tent also looks great and feels sturdy - though we haven't camped in bad weather at all. The inside supposedly fits x2 25 inch wide sleeping pads (as it's listed as 50 inches wide) but it'll definitely be a tight squeeze. Otherwise, a great and spacious tent for 1 person, and comfy and cozy for 2.
