Excellent tent
I like the durability and the how lightweight this tent is. Definitely get a footprint to increase its lifetime. The poles are easy to use and practically dummy proof. This is my go to for when I need extra space or if I have other people sharing the same tent. Super quick set up and tear down and extremely packable.

Weight
Initial impression very light for 3 man tent. 6.5 pounds in the bag. Easy set up. There are seams in the floor. Very short.

Good to go
Great tent for a small family — good solo, and with my two boys.

Great tent ⛺️
We loved how quickly it set up as well as light weight. Great quality tent. We used in 90 & 40 degree weather.

Sturdy, spacious, easy pitch - with a weight penalty
This would be a great option for 2 adults who can split the weight and don't mind trading a heavier carry for some room to spread out, or who hike with a baby or dog - it's roomy and sturdy, however at 6+lb I did return it since it's too heavy for my use case (myself and young kid, so I have to carry the tent, my gear and most of her stuff myself as well).If you just want to own one tent that kind of sits in the gap between a car camping tent and a backpacking tent, this one could fit the bill. Wouldn't recommend for thru-hiking but weekend treks should be a-ok.
