I give a low rating because msr made a good tent. Cons: the zippers inside the tent glow in the dark, a rope is tied to the outside of the tent. You need to buy 12 of these zippers so that they are the same. The footprint is not particularly necessary, it will not help to sew up the bottom of the tent from a puncture. It is better to choose something stronger. There is no internal shelf on the ceiling. You cannot buy a shelf separately, they are not available anywhere. The tent zipper does not always open without jamming the material. Otherwise, there is enough space for two average-sized people. The seams are still intact.

— Show originalI have liked the tent a lot, it is easy and quick to assemble, there is plenty of space in the vestibules for a backpack and shoes. The water column value is a little lower than some others, but it has withstood the rain very well. I have not experienced strong winds yet, but if all the ropes are used, I am sure it would be fine in those too.| Overall rating |
— Show originalI bought the tent because my friend already had one, so I knew it was a good tent. Easy to assemble and quite light. Plenty of space and things and shoes fit well under the vestibule.| Overall rating |
— Show originalVery good value for money. It's a little heavy but easy to assemble, has a large interior space and is very practical. At least it's very suitable for my own use. I'm happy with my choice.| Overall rating |

Very nice and compact setup, which doesn't feel claustrophobic. The top short pole isn't the easiest to put into the metal loops, thus one star less.

— Show originalExcellent tent for the money. The only downside is the large packing size, the tent could fit into a much smaller bag, and the light transmission of the tent fabric. It is practically as bright inside the tent as outside.

Quite literally then best tent I have ever owned so far. I have used this in Finland and South Africa and it has survived cold and hot weather as well as strong winds and rain. I highly recommend any of the MSR tents.
