FYI, my previous experiences with tents have been using two separate single-person backpack tents. I hate single-person tents for space concerns but it is nice to have them fit in with a pack. For that reason I decided to go with the CLostnature tent with expectation I would have to carry it separate but the space would be worth it. That being said:
The Clostnature Tent is solid and would **theoretically** fit in a pack, but it'd have to be a pretty large one. I could see it fitting in one of the bigger pouches on a ruck sack for example, but in a standard "going hiking" backpack you'd have some trouble. I like the bag it comes in. It makes it easy to separate it from whatever else you're bringing and you can tie it or pack it in a vehicle very easily. In my case I threw it in the back of the truck that we took as a group and grabbed it to set up the tent when needed.
The tent comes with extra stakes which is nice. They seem to be constructed well and I was able to hammer them into harder ground without any of them bending or breaking.
The poles are solid material. About what to expect and they seemed to maintain a bent shape without worrying me about snapping.
The tent sets up fairly easy however it took a few looks to make sure I had the right sides up or down. Once you being placing poles it's very easy.
This could be seen as an upside or downside, but the poles don't "stick" to their loops, they slide very loosely through them. I personally like it that way so teardown is easier, but someone may consider that a structural issue. I had no issues with the tent structure-wise as it was set up for three nights.
The air inside of the tent is great even with the rainfly over. Good air circulation through day and night.
I did not get to test the rainfly as it didn't rain my first trip, but I was satisfied with the tent otherwise. It was quite cold at night in the mid-30s and the air allowed in definitely made it colder, but it wasn't better or worse than any tents I've dealt with previously.
During my trip the space inside the tent was enough to fit myself, a small personal bag for my sleeping pad and blow-up pillow, a charger and a spot for phones, a hunting rifle and another guy about my size. I'm just under 6 foot tall and so is he and we were both able to have some space. I couldn't see fitting a third fully grown man in there, but if you have a family I could see you, a spouse, and a younger child squeezing in just for sleeping. On night 2 of my trip I slept in the tent alone and it was a great amount of space.
Overall I had a good time with the tent, it kept up to windy conditions, was a solid place to sleep at night, was tight against insects and animals and had plenty of space. For money's worth I was very happy with the purchase and am looking forward to using it again the next time I head camping.
