Hey all I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with this tent. Good bad? What are your thoughts? I am not planing to use it as a trail tent but want something small to take on my bicycle yes I know it doesn't have a rain fly not an issue be taking a tarp anyway. Any thoughts on it would be appreciated thanks.

Its similar to an older Swissgear model, everyone griped about how bad the ventilation was.

Save your money. I consider it junk (and I am not even a trail snob).

If you are taking a tarp, why not just take a small bug tent?

Here's something that has been used as a light backpacking tent with some success. Before you click on the link you must vow not to laugh. It won't work if you're tall, but sleeping on the diagonal will work for adults. $24 and lightweight.
