Good – Really nice tent. Plenty of room for 2 people and 2 large packs. Good ventalation options. Easy to set up and take down. All anchor points provide a good taut tent. No saging anywhere. Double lined to prevent unwanted condensation getting you wet. Room to store 2 large packs in the outer vestibule. Good in all weather. I love the colour. Performes as expected. The small condensation that forms doesn't touch anything on the inside so it is not a problem. Could be lighter if you are wanting to carry it for long hikes for 2 ppl. But you can share the load.
Really Nice Tent for the Price – This tent works for us. Its of decent size for a two-person tent. My partner and I had plenty of room for our two Thermarests and sleeping bags and we found that we didn't end up touching the sides at all. Also my partner is around 185cm tall and he had enough leg room. Plenty of room in the front vestibule for your packs, but because there is only front entry we did find them in the way when trying to exit the tent in the middle of the night.
No real problems with condensation, a small amount formed on the ceiling, but not enough to get us wet. And there is decent ventilation options to combat that. We were also camping in early spring so there was a quite a bit of dew around. Haven't yet tried it out in severe weather, but it has withstood some light to moderate rain with no problems.
Really easy to pitch, there's colour coded poles and sleeves too which is lucky because the included instructions are somewhat ambiguous.
Its probably not a tent you would bushwalk with given it comes in at 3.2kg but you could carry the poles and pegs while your buddy carries the tent and fly. Easy to pitch, relatively inexpensive and reliable A little on the heavy side

I had this tent for about 6 years it was a really good. Brilliant in storm with heavy wind and lots of rain but this tent is not made to last. The zips are always the first to go in this tent, they are pretty bad. After a while (5 years) the fly gets petty weak too, it ended up completely ripping in half. I think it was because of all the UV exposure.
