I needed a tent to go camping. I had a 6 person tent from a major brand that had one of the tent pole supports break and it was a very large tent for only a single person. Enter this Night Cat.Unpacking was super easy. Unwrap all the tent poles and rubber bands. Lay the tent out. Assemble the main poles and form an X. Insert the poles into the fasteners at the bottom. Start securing the lower clasps onto the poles and once at the top, tie the ceiling to the axis of the cross poles. Assemble the rain fly poles and insert into their holders. Secure the rain fly using the clasps. Voila. Done. Easy breezy.This tent has some really cool features. IF you have a large battery bank on wheels you have a passthrough for a cord. The windows has some really good mesh for keeping the bugs out and letting fresh air in. There is a hook at the ceiling for a lamp or small led light source. Sleeping on the ground with a memory foam cot sized ground pad feels spacious and enough space around to lay down cell phones, wallet, keys and water you have in your pockets. Not much storage space so be mindful of what you want to keep inside. At 5'9" this is perfect for me. Anyone taller is going to be cozy with the walls. To me it seems like it will fit a standard cot but not an extended cot.Cons: The rain fly does not come down the front entrance or back window far enough. If it is raining with a sideways wind I can see water ingress through the roof a possibility. At that point a tarp put over the tent and secured to the ground will help immensely and help buffet the wind. That is more weight and space so a luxury for car campers. For solo adventurers it may be a con that puts this out of competition.In conclusion there is a lot of value in this tent. It may only last a season or two but it works and it is lightweight enough.Update: Out in the wild this tent showed that it really is a 3 season tent. In Winter when temps drop you will need a 0F sleeping bag or quilt. As well as some insulating wool. It kept the wind off of me during 35 mph gusts. It has a lot of ventilation for a single person tent. I like how simple it is to setup and the included cord helped when securing the tent for the wind. I like the high tub line, it helps keep dirt out. If I had to choose again I would go for a double layer tent. Or drape a lightweight tarp over to help insulate.

Easy set up... once you get the idea. Great 1 person size. You could actually fit a second if nothing else was inside. DO GET SOME SPRAY SILICONE TENT SEALANT. it's a great tent but not water-PROOF.

very easy to setup and lightweight. Fabric feels of good quality as well.

Threw it out back during a rain storm. Set up is quite easy and it's definitely light weight and easy to pack somewhere... Didn't sleep in it, but upon take down noticed some minor pooling of water inside. Could have been from humidity or the included (typical trash) stakes in a storm or even drip from opening it as it was quite wet the following morning. I wouldn't say it's water PROOF but at least resistant in a medium pour. But all in all it seemed to do the job. Don't think I'd trust it in anything more than summer though.But as I said, quick, easy, did the job. Probably not that durable long term but we'll seeSo... Better than expected so 4 stars?

This was perfect for a 6 days multi state camping trip on motorcycles. Small. Packs easily. Packs fast. Little moisture build up inside one of the nights but dew point was high and it was cold! Rained on it with no leaks or issues or bugs. Packed this away for the next camping trip.

Used this on a two night kayaking backpacking trip. It fit on my kayak perfectly, barely taking up any space. My friends bought different tents where you basically have to crawl in and stay still, no room to wiggle. This was perfect to have a little space on each side of my sleeping bag and room to sit up. Took maybe 5 minutes to set up by myself and is super easy to put away.

I sometimes stay in a seldom-used cabin known to have “good” snakes inside, occasionally seen on overhead rafters. This tent fits well on a twin bed, with just a little overhang, enough to create a pocket for a flashlight and other gear. It’s easy to set up, the zippers seem sturdy, and it’s well-ventilated. I zip myself in and sleep soundly without fear of an unwanted visitor dropping in!

Rained half the weekend, tent stayed dry on the wet leaves. Packs nice and small. Was tight for me 5'10" and my twelve year old but was great for a small backpack trip in Mississippi
