The first time I put it up, including the fly sheet, it took around 20 - 30 mins. I'm confident that I'll be quicker next time. I used it over 4 nights at a festival. There was no rain the whole time (yippee!) so I've not been able to test how waterproof it is. One night however all tents were covered in condensation. The inside of this tent stayed totally dry. As others have said, putting it away is more tricky than putting it up, but once you get your technique right, it's not that hard. I was the only person in it. I used a double airbed and there was plenty room for my rucksack and other camping gear down the side. Personally I think the most that could comfortably stay in this tent is two. I liked that the carry-bag has handy internal storage pockets for the pegs and poles. Also the instructions are sewn into the carry bag, ensuring that they will never be lost. It was really easy to carry and not heavy at all. You should probably be aware that the shape of the tent in the carry bag is like a big disc, about a meter in diameter. Recommended for easy summer camping. Rating: 4 / 5 The pop-up feature is really great. The first time I put it up, including the fly sheet, it took around 20 – 30 mins.

Would recommend to anyone looking for a weekend tent.

I wasn't disappointed. <br />The addition of the flysheet means that, whilst it takes longer to put the tent up, there's no worry about touching either end when its raining nor getting the end of your sleeping bag wet when you open the door.
