Evelyn ★★★★★

I've used double-wall tents for years, but never one that stands up on its own without a single stake. Pitched it on rocky slab in about two minutes and the interior stayed dry through a soggy night.

Henry T. ★★★★★

Pitched it on a rocky ledge where I couldn't drive a single stake, and the double-wall design kept condensation off me all night. Packs down small enough to disappear in my 40L. For fast and light trips this is exactly what I wanted.

David ★★★★★

Pitched it on a rocky ledge where I couldn't get a single stake in, and the freestanding design held up perfectly through a windy night. The double wall kept condensation off my bag too, which I wasn't expecting from something this light.
