Here is a review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrBI01vVlYE

I have never used this tent, apart from putting up in the back yard twice in the last month. The reason for selling, is that after sitting in the bag for about 4 or 5 years and not being used, the seam tape is starting to lift and you can see where there is a bit of transfer of colour from being packed up the same way. I had it in a storm recently in the back yard, and it actually seemed to hold up pretty well, but I'm not personally going to be trusting it 5 days out in the bush without replacing the tape. I had a bit of a go at putting sealant over parts of it, but couldn't be bothered to finish it. You may feel different after having a look. It's not terrible, but I just don't have the will to finish it, so selling.

Because of all the above, I would rather not post as I don't want people to get it without seeing it. (again I don't think it's terrible, and you may look at it and think, is that all, but I still would rather you see it before purchasing)

On my scales with full packaging and 8x 14g Zempire pegs (it technically can use 10 pegs but pitches properly with 7), it weighs 1190g.

It can also be pitched with walking poles dropping 166g from the two upright poles (you have to use the footpole).

With no pegs, only the footpole, guy ropes and no stuffsack, it weight 873. Add in 7x10g MSR mini groundhogs of your own (the minimum needed) and you'll come in at 943g

Asking price $150

Unfortunately the very worst thing you can do is store a tent rolled up in the carry bag. You may want to open it up and let it air before trying to sell it. Once the PU starts to deteriorate it can't be stopped.

Yeah, as I mentioned I've had it up in the back yard. I'll know for next time, get it out regularly, even if I'm not using it.

I've decided to have a go at completely resealing this, so locking the topic
