Small, as expected *by T***E on May 18, 2017* Bought this for a camping trip coming up. It sets up VERY easily. Like others have said, its get pretty hot and humid in there if you're directly in the sun. The rear vent is pretty ineffectual actually. However, it does have a small plastic D-ring by the vent so I'm thinking hang a little battery powered exhaust fan there just to help with the circulation. Or put the door facing the wind. Can't say much about the water resistance as I've only had it out in nice weather, but I would highly recommend getting some waterproofing spray and seam sealer, as well as a tarp to put underneath (I bought a longer tarp so I have a little place mat in front of the door to take my shoes off and help keep dirt out of the tent). Comes with a 10 year warranty from Wenzel which is nice. The stakes it comes with are kind of cheesy but will work if you don't abuse them (or pound them into an unexpected rock underground). It has a little mesh storage pouch at the head/door of the tent for things in your pockets. For all the good in this tent: price, set up time, warranty, carry weight. There is one drawback, internal size. Granted this is a one man pup tent and you should know going into buying this that it will be very small, I should have bought the 2 man style from Wenzel just so I could keep my stuff inside and safe. I have to keep my bag between my legs when I sleep (if you use a single person air mattress with this tent, there is no room on either side to really put anything). Other than that, it's a nice weekend tent that is very lightweight and easy to set up/take down. For the price, I might buy it again, but then again I might spring for the 2 person as previously mentioned just to have a little more wiggle room. If you want to go seriously off the grid, this tent may not be for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight & Durable, but Too Small and Poor Airflow *by D***T on December 18, 2016* I really wanted to love this product. I took it on a backpacking trip to Havasupai. Let me first say that the quality and durability of the product was just fine. Set up was easy enough and the weight was fine for a backpacking trip. My issues with this product have to do with functionality. First of all is the fact that it's so small that getting in and out of it was an incredible challenge. For reference, I'm pretty average build at 5' 11" and weighing about 175lbs. My daughter had similar issues and she is 5'7" and 120lbs. When I was on all fours, I was not able to crawl into the tent. I had to go in feet first and try to slide myself into the tent. My second major issue with this tent was the fact that there was very little airflow and it trapped heat and moisture in it. Within 5-10 minutes of being in the tent, I was extremely hot and drenched in sweat. The climate at night when we were using it was during warm summer nights. Temps were generally around 60 degrees each night.PROS:*Lightweight*Durable*Easy to set upCONS:*Too small (perhaps best suited for children or small teens)*Poor Airflow*Traps heat*Not well suited for warmer climatesQ.) Would I buy it again?A.) No ### ⭐ Very light tent, but a pain otherwise. *by K***N on May 28, 2017* Very light tent but has three major issues.1. Its a pain to get in and out. I'm a pretty athletic guy, 6ft 185 lbs. Once you are in, it's manageable.2. The tent does not have enough ventilation if the fly screen is closed. This is especially true if the weather is cold. The big issue with that is your breath condenses on the inside and starts dripping.3. It tips easy especially when you are propping the tent poles in front.It is light so if you are willing to do the additional work to sew in vents and get a fly tarp on top, get it, if not, I will not recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/65012664-wenzel-starlite-1-person-tent](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/65012664-wenzel-starlite-1-person-tent) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
