Wenzel Starlight 2-Person Hiker/Biker Tent Review

I actually bought this from a Walmart Store and not through Amazon.com. It's marketed at Walmart as a 2-person tent for children. I love this little tent, though. I used it for backpacking out west in the desert and on the east coast. The tent comes in a little zippered bag with handles. It is VERY light!
I am a 5'3" woman and my head and feet are right up against the side walls, when laying flat length-wise, due to the angle of the tent walls. This is not good when the walls of the tent collect condensation when it is humid or wet outside. It is good for dry weather and the desert atmosphere. The tent will not keep you warm or dry during a good rain. You can technicaly squeeze two short people in there, but it was just large enough for my sleeping bag and my gear bag. A taller person could lie in it diagonally. May be difficult to fit a camping pad in there that is longer than 6'.
If you're in ideal conditions, this tent is WONDERFULLY light, simple, portable and easy to use. The zippers don't stick too much, there are only support beams/sticks to maneuver, and tiny rain cap (can't even call it a rain flap) is simple to add on. It also came with a mesh assessory "shelf" the size of a hankerchief to stow small items overhead.
Recommended for 1 adults or 2 children, dry weather, backpacking, and biking.
Not recommened for 2 adults, rain/wet/humid conditions.

Keep it simple when camping on the trail with the Wenzel Starlight two-person hiking/biking tent. The Starlight weighs a mere 3.4 pounds, with a fiberglass frame that compresses easily and fits in a zippered compression stuff sack. The tent also boasts Wenzel's Weather Armor Protection system, which adds a water-resistant coating and welded sonic-sealed floors to the polyester and polyurethane construction to keep moist weather from penetrating the interior. And despite its small size, the tent is still extremely stable thanks to the steel pegs and guy-out ropes. Other features include a screen D-style door, a rear vent for added ventilation, and a nylon taffeta floor.
