I've had numerous backpacking tents over the years and this is by far the best one I've owned. Used in heavy rain, wind, and a bit of snow in the Sierra's, this tent is an absolute gem. Lightweight, freestanding, spacious, and durable, what more could you ask for! Well done Near Zero.
Super easy to set up, color coated poles and grommets make it guess free. Was pleased with the amount of room and mesh storage compartments. I used it for two nights; first night was breezy and rainy, second night temps in the 40’s. No issues whatsoever. I have no issue recommending it. Do yourself a favor and set it up before your trip, makes life much easier and you will have a better idea on orienting it, where to put the head and feet.
This was my first backpacking trip and this tent went up so fast and was light to carry. I was warned when backpacking my wife and I would have no space but we had space for us and our shoes easily. We loved the pockets to put sour flashlights and such in.
Went backpacking in the Badlands of North Dakota and South Dakota. Slept in 50+ mph sustained winds and heavy rains, and this tent held up like a champ! Very solid design
