Lightweight tents are nobody's friend when it comes to their pockets. Comparatively, this tent is wonderfully priced. When you include that this also comes with everything you need, it makes you feel like you've gotten a wonderful deal and so far, I would say I did.
I'm unsure of the durability of this tent yet, and will update after a few more outings with it, but what I can say is that the poles feel like they'll last forever and the tent floor feels like it's as durable as silk. Hopefully it's not. The footprint included helps out a bit.
The zippers are smooth and have yet to snag, and I appreciate that very much. The vestibules are large enough to keep your bag and accessories dry if you run into rain. Inside the tent, moisture seems low, even in high humidity.
I look forward to using this tent more.

This is my first "nice" tent after using cheap Walmart tents and military surplus ones most of my life. I'm very happy with it so far. It's roomy for one person, though it'd be pretty cozy with two. It seems to breath well, even when completely sealed up in a rainstorm. I had no condensation issues like most other tents I've owned, and I like how the poles hold the rainfly away from the screen so there is less chance of water dripping on you. I especially love how it is almost entirely screen so when you take the rain fly off you can enjoy the awesome scenery of wherever you are camping.
My only complaints are that it is a bit small for two people and the vestibules really aren't all that big. There wouldn't be room for a large pack outside the tent. The rain fly also rests an inch or two above ground level, so in a real good rain storm any gear in the vestibule would possibly get wet. Still, I really love the tent and would highly recommend it, especially for the price.

Have used this tent a few times now but this past weekend my wife and I took it to Arkansas on a backpacking trip and our last night it poured. We ended up being in a slight low spot and there was about an inch of water standing and none got into the tent. The base of the tent felt like a water bed with all the water under it and still none seeped through. It is a tight fit for 2 people but still can manage. Another perk is that it comes with a good and light footprint.

This is *straight up* the exact same tent as the MSR hubba hubba tent. I'm not kidding. This tent is absolutely awesome. I got it because (like most people) I couldn't afford a $400 tent. This mongar tent came with a footprint, fly, and in purple. *purple!!*
I set this up on a windy day just to see how it works, and it was *great*! When actually using it, I took it on a multi-day road trip where I packed and unpacked it for four consecutive nights, then another for two nights. There was not a single rip, tear, or snag in this thing after any of this. My boyfriend, who got a different 2 person tent off amazon, had at least twelve holes in his after the end of this journey. (yellow tent). He returned his.
There are three little pockets - one of them is in the roof and can hold a light. The other two are at the head and foot of the tent and are shallow (about 5 in) and span the width of the tent. Size-wise, the tent is really snug for two people. For anyone over 5' 10" it might be uncomfortable. For one person, it's nice and comfy for a big sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, and a carry-on suitcase. The tent is very light and easy to put up. I didn't have any trouble except for the crossbeams. (the poles in this tent resemble this : >-+-<. The + part spins around and it can be a little hard to do them as just one person, but it's manageable if you line it up and then set up the poles. The fastening mechanisms that click the pole to the tent body are well made and won't unclip in wind or rain etc. Mine was fast to set up and easy to stake - stakes are optional imo, only if it's hot or if there's a lot of wind/rain.
The way that the poles go into the footprint and tent body & fly, I recommend putting the footprint loops over first, *then* the tent body loops. That way if you move the tent the footprint won't slip off.
The 6 stakes included are the really nice lightweight ones you'd find at REI (for like $4 apiece lol). Overall highly recommend this tent. It's totally worth the $. One thing different from the MSR hubba hubba - the body of this tent (the purple one) had a bucket floor but other than that it was entirely mesh. I was worried about privacy at first but then saw that I'd always put the fly on and that having the mesh really helped with ventilation. With the fly on, it's nice and warm, down to about 40F. I can't vouch for anything under that because I haven't camped in it.
Overall I would recommend this tent to anybody! Especially people who are tired of overpaying for literally everything outdoor related.

I have had this tent for almost a year now and I'm still in love with it. I opted for the bright pink one and don't regret it a bit! I've taken it to the beach car camping overnighting in the woods near my home in FL, and in May I took it on a backpacking trip in NC. It is not the lightest option on the market but the value for the money can't be beat. It's incredibly durable and held up in pouring rain with no leaks or drips; I stayed dry and toasty. I didn't even have any condensation on the inside because of the vents. 15/10, would buy again.

I have almost no experience putting up tents, and was able to put this tent up by myself the first time in less than fifteen minutes. It would have taken less time if I’d watched one of the many YouTube videos about how to set up this tent first. It felt bigger inside than other two person tents I have been in, probably because the sides don’t slant in as much as the others. It’s got a hook to hang a light on at the top, and a pretty spacious pocket to store things at the top as well. It is sturdy feeling, but packs up very compactly. This tent weighs in the neighborhood of four and a half pounds, which serious backpacking friends tell me is heavier than they like for a backpack trip. (They like to keep a tent around two pounds.) I haven’t gotten beyond car camping, and it is perfect for me.
