Pros: Super quick setup; works well with telescopic poles. Vestibule enough space for essentials to stay out of the weather. Fit my 70L bag and shoes nicely. Very light and low profile in my bag, I even carried in my side compression pouch to make space inside my bag for other items.
Cons: CONDENSATION - I live in California, not a humid state my no means. It did not handle cool weather (20 degree - 60 degree) The condensation built up very easily inside and you end up with wet items and your head when you sit up. (if you're tall). At first, I thought there was enough ventilation but there isn't. You must open the vestibule up to get decent venting. This isn't great when its a bit chilly and you want to keep your heat in.
Guy points - Technically there is only one guy out on the top near the taller peak to help keep the shape. Other than that, there isn't any. I would like having a ridgeline guy points so if you wanted, you can suspend instead of using your poles. This is useful for if you set up a base camp then go hiking and need your poles.
No loops inside - I love to hang my light inside, I use the zipper to do so but when you need to use the zipper, the light then isn't above your head. Minor annoyance i can fix with a stick on loop. But still, just add a simple loop inside for this please.
Overall, was it worth it? I would say yes. It is a very affordable shelter and does the job well for warmer climates. It fits my size which is surprising. I would definitely suggest on upgrading the stakes before taking it out. Would I buy it again knowing these things ahead of time? Probably not, I would do a little more shopping. The condensation issue is a big flop for me. Essentially don't want to use this thing unless it's well ventilated. More of a 2.5 season tent in my eyes.
