Great overall lightweight 3 season tent for up to 3 people
Likes
It's lightweight, easy to set up, well designed and constructed of quality materials. Easy to split up and share the weight. Can be used with footprint and fly alone for even lighter shelter when insects aren't an issue. Perfect for a family of 3. With good vestibule space.
Dislikes
Zippers on fly have to be handled carefully or sticking can occur. We had the tent mostly flatten on us in high winds (even with guy lines) and had to relocate. Something to keep in mind when placing this tent. That's the trade off for such light weight.

Great Tent
Likes
We bought this for our family of 4 (dad, mom, and two 10 yr olds) for backpacking. The space is great. We are able to fit all 4 of our Big Agnes pads along one side and all 4 of our backpacks at the foot of the pads. For years we were in 2 separate tents. It is great to finally all be in one tent. We love having the 2 doors. We use one of the vestibules for our little chairs at night. All in all we LOVE this tent!
Dislikes
The zippers on the vestibules catch. We have to be really careful when zipping and unzipping.

Just what I needed
Likes
The space-to-weight ratio is fantastic. Fits me, my wife and our three young children pretty comfortably. If you need a larger sized tent that's still doable for multi-day backpacking trips, look no further.
Dislikes
Zippers are a bit chintzy, but do what they need to do. Maybe not let your 5yo operate them.

Great Family Backpacking tent
Likes
Light, easy to pack and a simple set up. I have a family of 5 and was looking for the biggest ultralight tent I could get so my wife and kids could all sleep in the same tent while in the back country and this seems to be the biggest available. I just took it out for two nights with the three kids and it was great. We all agreed that Mom could probably fit in as well, but it only fit the 4 sleeping mats so it will be tight. I wish I could find a five person tent, but it seems you then get into car camping territory so for my situation this is the best it is going to get. Very happy with the purchase in the end and so were the kids. TBD on what mom will say once we test it with her in there too...
Dislikes
My only two complaints are: 1.) The rain fly doesn't quite go as close to the ground as I typically like and the tent overall has such good ventilation that the heat escapes quite a bit at night. This is a great thing in the summer, but in the colder months when you actually put the rain fly on isn't as nice as my older 3 man ultralight tent that holds the heat more by hugging the ground closer. As a dad with 3 small kids it's nice to feel warm at night and in the morning when the kids are getting dressed or flop out of the bags. I guess this is good for condensation, but not worth the trade in my opinion with smaller kids 2.) The footprint should be bit bigger on each side sand should clip to the tent. You have to stake it down to get it to work and that isn't always an option at every corner depending where you set up.

This tent is Awesome! Coming from a Flycreek UL3 for last 5 years. Love the dual doors. Love the dual vestibules. Love that setup is fast and solid. Primary use is solo with two dogs and camera gear. Some trips I am adding (x2), 12 year-old boys. Warranty from Backcountry Edge is unbelievably awesome. Weight is minimal for so much space. Did I mention that I love this tent? YMMV.
