I love these poles! They're light, durable, and a fantastic deal if you're trying to set up a sturdy tarp shelter on a budget. I used them with a Kelty's Noah's Tarp with no problems whatsoever. They're not as tall as the Kelty collapsible poles, but one Kelty collapsible pole is the same price as this Mountainsmith set.

This tent was an absolute gem at the beaches on our trip to Hawaii! We were able to carry it on the plane with us and it was super light and easy to carry. It pops up in seconds and is so easy to set up! It fit 3 adults nicely! There's a bag on each corner that you can fill with sand which was perfect on the beach because it kept the tent from blowing away on windy days. It was a little tricky to fold up, but after a few tries, I figured it out. I'll definitely be taking this tent to every beach I visit in the future - it's wonderful!

Meets my expectations. It's a bit smaller than I expected - two adults just fit inside. It's extremely easy to use. And it packs up into its carrying case quickly. The whole thing is light weight, which is great when you have lots of other gear to haul to the beach.

Perfect tent for my 3 girls, an 11year old and two almost 10 year olds. They each have sleeping mats and sleeping bags and they fit fine. They didn't complain about being too close to each other and have wanted to sleep in it every night, that's going to be a couple more weeks before they can. I like that they can set it up and take it down by themselves. We haven't yet had rain to deal with but I made sure to waterproof it myself just for extra confidence. Doors on both sides are great for airflow. The way it stores flat won't hardly take up room anywhere. I love it and so do they.
