Pros
- At 90 lb it fits small cars and crossovers that heavier tents can’t
- No poles or guy lines, so it opens in about a minute
- Compact 47 x 44 in footprint leaves room for a bike on the bars
- Two year warranty on parts and workmanship
Cons
- The 43 in wide bed is tight for two adults
- Only 36 in of headroom, so you can’t sit up straight
- Tent body fabric is rated 2000 mm, so the rainfly does the heavy lifting in rain
