I bought this tent about a year ago and have used is extensively in conditions ranging from 0 degrees and snowing to windy conditions in the desert and everything in between and thus feel very qualified to review it.
What this tent does well: Sleeps two comfortably + maybe a small backpack, is incredibly light and compact, very easy and fast to put up. Its a single wall design and the material is quite thin but is built surprisingly well. I never bothered to use a footprint out of laziness but have been fine. If you seal the seams with the included seam-sealer, its essentially water resistant/proof as well. This tent has been through multiple thunderstorms and my partner and I have come out dry. Wind will shake the tent significantly but its never broken or been damaged in anyway, even with hours of gale force winds. The tent is very easy to secure via the stakes as well.
What this tent doesn't do well: Being a single wall tent comes with certain disadvantages. The biggest one being condensation inside the tent, in a nutshell, if its humid and temps are hovering a little above freezing you will get so much condensation inside the tent it might as well be raining inside. There is no way to prevent this short of changing the weather. Of course, this tent was never intended for that use case, but its worth keeping in mind. Airflow is decent but not amazing, again not really the use case for this tent.
Overall very happy with this tent, its amazing have a two person, four season tent that i can throw in a 50L pack and not be worried about weight or space.
