Pros
- A 94.5 x 54 in bed gives two adults a full size bed
- Published 3500 mm waterproof rating and heat sealed seams for wet weather
- A 4 year fabric and structural warranty, longer than most budget soft shells
- Skylight in both the tent body and the rainfly for stargazing
Cons
- OVS publishes only a shipping weight, so check the tent weight against your roof and rack ratings before buying
- Stands 14 in tall when folded, so more wind noise and less garage clearance
- No anti condensation mat included
