This was a perfect tent, EXACTLY what I was looking for. Third pole was a bit tight, and I accidentally bent the pole first time I was setting it up. However, Dandelion Shell Team was nice and very supportive to replace it for me!. Fourth time around, I got the hang of setting it up and took me no time at all. I got to try my first wood stove in it. I loved the little details of the tents and I can’t wait to take this tent out on my next backpacking trip!

Quality of material has held up through many setups across different terrains. Even though material does seem thin. Space… I’m 6’ 200lbs on a good day. The length of tent is fine but if trying to tuck in an extra backpack or have to reach for your feet to close or open your sleeping bag or whatever by your feet you find it hard to reach. Head room while sleeping is fine. Waste line to feet is a tight area. Width and length seem fine, could use more height. Ventilation after settling in seems fine otherwise very warm first 20/30 minutes. Use a small portable fan in pocket near head /ventilation area to help especially during summer time. I am a warm blooded person. Otherwise not to bad with just airpad and sheet. Water resistance from above is good. I sprayed scotch guard for water repellant after first uses just as additional protection. But handled short light rain periods fine but heavy rain it did not until spraying additional water guard above. If ground saturated it seems to eventually soak through bottom like condensation. Use a cutout garbage as barrier and works good. If humid or rained there is condensation inside of tent which was always normal tent camping in my experience. Overall probably is good as any other portable tent /bivy I’ve used. Biggest issues is space for reaching near mid waist to feet area otherwise is good.
