Late Start Backpacking Tent – Lightweight Two Man Camping Tent Shelter with Quickcorners, Aluminum Poles, Waterproof Poly Fly, Updated for 2024

It assembles easily and quickly, it's roomy for 2-3 people, it packs small, and has the requisit side and ceiling see-thru pockets. The door extension on the rain fly seems like it would be great for taking off wet shoes in the rain.It was relatively expensive, but if it lasts a long time, I'd consider this money well spent for overnight hiking/camping.

Well constructed but seems to be lighter cheaper materials. We will see. Its easy to assemble. Taking on a weekend camping trip will update after the trip.Update (10-06-2025): This tent is very spacious; it held up to the abuse I gave it on my camping trip. Comfortably can hold two people cuddling while having enough room to roll and enough room at you feet for you camping gear and clothing. Would recommend this lightweight easy set-up tent to anyone! Great buy!

Yep, got it Friday I was out camping in it that night in the national forest for a few days, just got back. I like it. I had it together in minutes its simple. First thing to know: the poles are exactly the same size, both of them. So, no guessing what goes where, both fit. I like how they fit as well; it's not some strange fitting at the bottom, it's a reinforced sleeve. Good size, the stitching is all solid and taped. I saw it was made in Vietnam, well, the Vietnamese did a solid job. The stitching is tight, and the poles are solid. The bottom of the tent is not flimsy and does not feel like it will tear by accident. It's a different design, but it kept giving me flashbacks to my old Zen Kelty tent. It isn't a $500 tent. But for what it is, I like it a great deal. Plenty of room for one person to spare. You can sit upright, and your head has clearance. I pulled it out and had it up in less than 5 minutes without even looking at the instructions. The rainfly clips in and feels solid, though I didn't get any rain. Side note, the little self at the top is mesh and gives you all sorts of strange fractal patterns when you look at it. Take off the rain fly, and you have a clear view of the sky. Oh, and the fly has a tube with a stick you can attach to some velcro, and there's ventilation through it. Zippers feel solid. I beat the hell out of gear I am out in all environments I will come back here at the end of the summer and let you know how it handles some abuse. But cost benefit I am satifisfied.

This tent is great! It's so easy and quick to set up, I can do it by myself in minutes. I have the two person, which is pretty heavy, but it's the perfect size for keeping your pack and shoes inside instead of in the elements. It survived a huge rain storm and extreme winds this weekend and I was warm and dry.

This tent is great value for money and perfect for backpacking trips. It’s super easy to set up and take down by yourself in a couple minutes.

Let me ask you a question - have you ever had to put up a tent in the rain? How about the dark? How about in the rain in the sark? If so, that means you were there during my last campout.Camping with my son and the rest of his Boy Scout Troop, these kids struggled a bit with their own tents. Me? I was cool, calm and only had 2 poles to deal with. I was impressed with this tent - large size and light enough to trek to your campsite. Well worth it and I would buy this tent again in a heartbeat!

Excellent tent for backpacking, decent weight at 4+lbs with poles, pegs, strings and rain fly. The optional foot print is an additional half pound or so. Packs well and compressible with straps to custom fit your pack. It's got enough room for two adults, but sleeping pads must be standard sized ones, wider sleeping pads will overlap. Very easy to setup alone, the stake/pole pockets make it a breeze to setup, built in storage for guy lines, and pegs are quality lightweight alloy. It's definitely not a cold weather tent, you will need extra layers anything in the 40s.

I weighed it (two person late start) and it weighed 4 lbs. 11 oz. The advertised weight is 4 pounds. For some people, the weight difference is a really big deal. I ended up returning the product unused since it was too heavy. I can’t speak to the durability or anything else except the weight.
