I needed a tent that was both lightweight and had a reasonably small pack size, as i was going to be doing the Land's End - John O Groats cycle (no support & carrying all equipment). I looked long and hard, and for tents in this price range, one of such weight and pack size, was very hard to come by!
Although i was alone, the reason i wanted a two man tent was because i had two large panniers. However, there probably would have been enough room for another person with my panniers as well.
I was putting the tent up every evening and taking it down again the following morning for a fortnight, and although that in itself was tedious towards the end, it was very easy; from the point of actually emptying the tent (so it was ready to take down) to the point of it actually being packed away in its little bag, took about 15mins by the end of the fortnight, (hardest part of course squeezing it into the bag). Some of the tent pegs got seriously bent due to the huge range in soil density throughout the trip, but nothing 20mins couldnt sort out in my spare time.
As for keeping me dry, i guess it wasnt really a fair test, as i travelled the first half of this September, which just so happened to be dry every day. Although waking up high in the Scottish Highlands, there was a considerable amount of dew, to which i remained dry, and A LOT of wind; but the tent stood strong, and i got a good nights sleep.
So, for the verdict...
If you're looking for a cheap, small pack size, lightweight tent, this is perfect. (I am planning on using it again next year, when i cycle it all over again). I do understand i never had seriously bad weather, but, if you set the tent up properly, i see no physical way in which the inhabitant could get wet!
