Great bivy in tents

I bought this for solo trail trips when I'm alone and want to travel as light as possible. Benefits: Compact, lightweight, close-fitting ripstop nylon, PU/DWR laminated coating, taped seams, 3-season tent, Industry-leading 10,000mm rapid water-repellent, breathable setup 1 x 5-section aluminum frame 3 x 6" storage pockets. The tent I received weighed 2lb 4.3oz and the breakdown is as follows: Tent - 1lb 10.4oz 5 Poles - 3.0oz / 0.6oz EA5 Segment Frame - 4, 0 oz 3 pockets for storage – 2.9 oz β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” -Total weight - 2 lb 4.3 oz The tent is made from 70D ripstop nylon fabrics with a PU and DWR laminated face Also heat sealed seams . The tent comes with no assembly and disassembly instructions. What I liked about this tent is that it has a minimalist design. No frills. just the spartan needs of a no-frills traveler. On a nice evening the door/that opens Windows covering almost half of the tent surface Ideal for ventilation, fresh air and views caution is pretty simple. However, like most others, you should stake out this bivouac. So no pop-ups and jumps in my style, weather permitting. This is very common with bivy tents. The posts are made of aluminum and are therefore better suited to a wider terrain. The tent is small, but big enough and is only for rest and relaxation. The construction seems good and I haven't noticed any imperfections or problems with the stitching or zippers. What hasn't bothered me about this tent is the same problem as most, the top entry is not suitable for inclement weather. However, I usually use a ground sheet or as a rain cover if necessary. This is probably not my go to tent knowing climate weather is possible. But in my opinion I mainly use it for nicer, warmer days when it makes the most sense. The zippered door/window has a plastic slider guard or hood/cover that slightly protects the zippered area from rain and warps and warps due to packaging. I'm not sure it'll actually be smooth until it warms up. Haven't had a chance to test it in the rain yet, but I'll update the review. Once I tried it out on the trail. I could not find the guarantee either in the product information or in the product description. I received this item for an honest review. Overall I think this is a well designed bivy style hideaway. It's minimalist and spartan, so don't expect more. It offers enough space for 1 person. Great hostel as far as I can tell. I will update the review if anything changes. This product was designed in Canada and made in Taiwan.
