I haven't field tested this yet but as you can see by the photos, it's the next best thing. After setup, I also ran a hose on it for some time to test its ability to resist rain. While wind and length of time would have been hard to replicate, I don't anticipate any rains that would dump at the same rate that a garden hose does either.I hadn't seen any directions on setting it up until I was putting it away and noticed that they were sewn into the inside of the bag. Oy! Nevertheless, I didn't need them once I laid out the tent and started putting the poles together in their one and only order. Basically, if you can put Tinker Toys together, this is a no-brainer.Just like with any tent, I still recommend that you do it for practice out in your yard or local park with nobody else around to make sure all parts are handy and you have your process understood. Just take it slow, set up your footprint, attach your tent, and work from the ground up. Don't rush it. It's easy but not necessarily intuitive without thinking the process through. That will make it go much faster when you are out in the woods or with a bunch of friends who are tempted to offer unsolicited advice or help.That said, I would also recommend NOT taking any help in setting up the tent. It's easy, you don't need to, and like with so many of these products, more hands are not better. Two people moving in different directions or working at different speeds can mean a bent pole or a forgotten step.The stakes are very small but are a great design and not cheapies like you see with some tents. I suppose you can bend them but I didn't feel like there was any risk to doing that in my experience. There are 12, which was more than what I needed. Also, an extra bit of cord that I suppose will have value somewhere sometime, but it wasn't necessary.The poles are thin and light and are connected by a seemingly strong elastic cord to pull them together in the proper order. While very light, the poles seem to be far sturdier than I would have imagined. There are also several 3-way joints to connect all the legs together. These connections are all better than I thought they would be and there's no risk of them coming apart by being jostled in a strong wind or during handling.There's a door on either side of the tent, allowing two people to have their own exit and not hop over the other. The rainfly is also set up this way allowing each to have a place to put shoes and a pack outside the tent and still stay dry.The top rainfly is also pretty durable and is held completely away from the tent netting, thus allowing for lots of ventilation and zero risk of touching it during rain and allowing it to bleed water through the fabric. I didn't realize until it was up but there's also a rainfly covering a bit of mesh in each end towards the top. This could come in handy on a hot sticky summer night to facilitate airflow and remove body heat inside.About size - While called a 2-person tent, that is a better descriptor for 2 people if both or at least one is smaller. Most kids, teens, and smaller women will find this adequate space. That said, I'm about 200# and while I could share this much space with someone of equal size, there wouldn't be any room for movement and would likely end up in both people losing some sleep. Length was not a problem at all. Someone 6.5 ft or less will be fine. I'll be using the extra space to store my gear.Note: This is a thoroughly vented tent with 90 % of the tent being mesh. That means it should breathe very easily and not get stuffy. However, the rainfly also doesn't go all the way to the ground. It's fine for privacy and having that any lower would potentially create other issues, so I don't have a problem with the design. However, the user needs to understand that it also makes it more subject to draft and heat loss, which may be problematic in cold windy weather. I don't see this tent being really useable much below 40 degrees unless you are prepared for such conditions with a sleeping pad/quilt and extra clothing. Around here in the GA/NC/TN mountains, that probably means its best use time is limited to about 6-7 months for most people. Not a problem for me and, again, there are benefits to this, but the user should be aware of this as a potential limitation.My only concern at this point is the durability of the floor. Aside from the protection from the footprint which I wouldn't do without, the floor seems thin and potentially subject to damage. Certainly, this material was chosen to keep the weight down, and that's great so long as it doesn't make it easy to damage. Time will tell, but I certainly will have that constant consideration and take a few extra precautions such as not sliding anything across the floor, putting packs and shoes on top of my sitting pad, and being extremely cautious with getting in and out and what might be tracked with that. Again, I haven't had any issues and this stuff might be Kevlar's strength, but I'll leave the potential for problems to accident instead of carelessness.Overall at this point, for what it is supposed to be, the description, my experience with the setup, and my overall experience, this tent is the go-to. I chose this one over about 2 dozen other options because of the reviews, what the company said about its products, the company profile itself, and others.Now.... for the real test, my shakedown 3-nighter is coming up. Any disappointments will certainly be noted.
