If you start to notice leaks along your seams, seam sealing can make them waterproof again, extending the life of your tent. The process can be easier than you might think.

I bought a two-person tent for single use. The tent has now been in use for three nights in the fall, in the coldest weather around zero degrees. So far, the experiences have been positive: the tent feels surprisingly spacious and I can fit a bike inside, which was the idea when choosing the size. I'm 173 cm tall, and in this tent neither the head nor the legs catch the ends at all, because the ends first rise straight up for a short distance and don't immediately start tilting like in a traditional dome tent. For two people, I think this would be a bit cramped because it is not very wide. The door openings on both long sides are convenient and you can easily remove the doors from the front of the view if you want to look at the scenery. There is quite a lot of mesh fabric in the tent, so the ventilation works and very little condensation moisture got on the inner surface of the outdoor tent. However, the tent is also a little cooler than my previous more closed tent. Really light and fits into a small space in the rucksack, which was a big reason for choosing this tent. I'm a bit doubtful how the tiny zippers will hold up and what you like in harsher weather, now I haven't had to camp in a real rain yet. However, I stated in practice that the tent can also be set up as an outdoor tent first, if absolutely necessary due to rain. Dismantling was also successful so that I first dismantled the inner tent. Maybe not the fastest and most convenient, but possible. Tightening the outdoor tent may require a bit of practice to get it positioned correctly so that the reinforced points meet the ends of the tent poles. All in all, I'm satisfied and I'm looking forward to traveling with the tent again after the winter. The future will then show how well the materials last.

Very easy to set up tent, light, practical in case of rain. That said, I have doubts about the waterproofness of the canvas in contact with the ground.... I'm afraid of damaging it because it's so thin and I tell myself that in case of heavy rain I might not stay dry. To be tested under our intense rain in the Alpes Maritimes. I'm going this weekend of October 20.

Overall great tent. The only downside is that it doesn’t a a bit too tight for two people
