Reviews
"The FreeLite is a great light two person tent. My wife and I recently used it on a 6 day backpacking trip and we fit comfortably inside. Having the twin vestibules was a huge plus too! The tent easily withstood rain and hail. Yay! The only con is that the rain fly gutter doesn’t work well. After a rain storm, I opened the rain fly and water instantly dropped on me and inside the tent. All in all though, I’d highly recommended this tent for two people who want a light sturdy backpacking tent. Cheers!"
"So light! So easy to set up! No complaints! It is super spacious for just me, but I can see that there will be enough room for two of us when I bring my husband along next time (but packs will have to go out in the vestibules)."
"So far this tent has been awesome! It’s light and packs up well. It held the rain out and it kept me dry during our rainy New England season!" -
