    ***WARNING DANGEROUS TENT*** Failed on 1st night used.

    0/5 Stars.This tent failed on me on the first night it was used. I live in Puerto Rico and this garbage tent failed on me with just the load of the condensation built up on the inside of the rainfly and some dew collected on the outside. Under that insignificant load, the rear stakeout point just broke off. Upon further inspection, I noticed that almost all the other stakeout points in the rainfly are also about to break off. Further inspection revealed poor seam taping in the corners that is simply lifting off and poor stitching where the mesh is sown with the bottom tub.Does it have nice colors? YES... Does it look nice when you first pitch it? YES... Is it 100% useless? YES!I DO NOT recommend this tent to ANYONE, let alone at the current price range. It is DANGEROUS faulty tent that should be pulled out of the market.I wish I could return it, but sadly the return window closed. And I tried contacting UST, but they don't really offer a way for you to contact them if you live outside the states, like Puerto Rico.

    High three stars.

I've held onto this until I could write a good review. Covid has limited our ability to camp until recently. First, I'm not sure of the title of this tent that it's for arm wrestling competitions- that is a pretty specific niche. (I hope you enjoy the chuckle I did on that).We do camping often and go backpacking. We thought this would be a nice gift for my daughter who is interested in backpacking more often.First the positives:I liked how compact it was. It packed down to a small space. I also like the space inside the tent. It is roomy and it has a nice layout. I checked out the stitching and it seems to be well made. The stitches are well set in the fabric. The materials the tent is made from is nice fabric. The zippers are well made and do not look as if they will easily break in a wind.  The tent is fairly lightweight but if my daughter continues to backpack, we might look at something smaller for her. We liked the idea that she could use a hiking pole as one of the tent poles. By the time we set it up though we did not try this option although it says you can do it.The negatives:In my opinion, the negatives are very concerning. The directions that came with this tent were nonexistent- They were there but they were not good directions. Additionally, in part because of the poor directions, it took us some time to figure out how to set this tent up. Having set up many tents in the past 20 years, this should have been easy for us. After I mucked with it, I then called in help in the form of a husband and an Eagle Scout. Advice from us if you get this tent is to set it up prior to your camping trip to ensure you can do it.One thing to note:This tent requires ropes (guy lines) to set up and keep it up. It is not freestanding. This may or may not be a deal breaker for you. It isn't for us but it does add a bit of bother to setting up camp. After a day hiking (or driving if your a car camper), you may not want to be messing with guy lines in order to keep your tent up.

    A weird tent...
  

*by N***9 on Reviewed in the United States on 14 November 2020*

I own a number of good tents, including several by North Face, a Kelty, etc., so I speak from experience buying and using tents. This tent is a well-intentioned mess. In theory, it could run with the better tents I own. Materials are excellent. Size is great, both in the bag (where it's tiny) and set up. It includes a footprint. And the bag is a great design for repacking.But then there's the design of the tent itself which is just a mess. I never could get the tent set up because the poles have smaller and larger-diameter ends which fit into grommets on the tent which are also of differing sizes. I don't know why they used different sized pole ends and grommets--requiring insertion in one direction--but they did. Unfortunately, one set of grommets on the tent didn't have a large and small, but just two smalls and so its pole will only attach at one end. I can drill out the grommet to make it work, but it's kind of silly to have differing sizes when there is no reason to do so. It's not as if the poles have to be installed with one end up....Then there's the bigger issue (the grommet issue could be a one-off manufacturing mistake) of the tent not being self supporting. The last tent I bought that wasn't able to stand freely but required guy lines to stand erect was a Boy Scout pup tent I used in the backyard of my childhood home.There is no excuse for this tent requiring guy lines for the inner tent to stand upright. If you're selling an ultra-light, maybe, but this isn't that kind of tent. It comes with a footprint and rainfly.Finally, setup is a chore. Initially, the instructions are terrible. And even after finally figuring things out (a problem made worse in our case by the inability to insert one pole), the tent is hard to put up with just one person.I wish this had gone better. I like some of ust's other products. But this one, despite its real virtues, is best avoided.
