Gregory Kanter's review

I LOVE THIS TENT SO MUCH! Never have I ever been able to pitch something so quickly, solo, without fussing or moving around. You can literally pitch it from a stance without moving your feet. When you roll into camp and everyone else on the mountain is cruxing out spending precious time pitching their tent, this thing is up and done and you're already making water or turning in for the night. It's tight in there but perfect for solo missions, smaller couples, or you can suck it up and snuggle with your buddy! Light enough to feel like you're actually going light without having to go without a tent, way more comfy than just bivvying.
