I am the most indecisive person alive and when I tell you I spent at least two months comparing tents on here before I chose this one.
I was looking for a tent for bonnaroo and on Reddit everyone would mention how hot it is waking up in your tent every morning by 8am and how cold it can be going to bed at night. I don’t like that. This is a blackout tent and it really is amazingly dark. I personally feel like it did help regulate the temperature whilst the door was closed but as soon as I had that door open all the hot air kinda got trapped in the tent with the rain fly still on. As soon as the rain fly is taken off though it’s such an amazing amount of ventilation that even when it’s hot out you’re not unbearably hot in the tent.
I’m also only one person and I like to try and do things on my own as much as possible as to not hassle other people lmao. The way this tent is the easiest thing ever to put up, take down, and put away is so helpful to me. I never thought it could be so easy to set up and take down but I do it just fine on my own. It takes me maybe five minutes for setup and the same for take down.
Another thing I was really looking for in a tent was height. I really wanted to be able to stand up in the tent and change and be comfortable. I had my cot in there on one side, a small table and trash can, and still had plenty of space to throw all of my clothes all over the place and walk around without stepping on all of them (I need better organization for my clothes). This tent was more than enough space for one person.
The very last night we were at bonnaroo there was a horrible thunderstorm, and my tent held up Amazingly. I did waterproof it before the festival, but the tent is already very water resistant in the first place, so, even if I didn’t waterproof it beforehand, I think it still would’ve held up very well.
All in all amazing tent for what I got it for. It seems super durable compared to the tent my friends bought, is waay easier to put up and take down, even with only one person, and I definitely stayed cooler than the rest of my company in the morning.
