Review on Yodo Lightweight 2 Person Camping Backpacking Tent With Carry Bag - Multi-Color Options Available by Patrick Mccall

I was a little bit skeptical about this tent given the price and that most lightweight backpacking tents cost way more than this. However I am very pleasantly surprised. This tent is great. One of the first things I did was spray it with a silicon waterproof spray. As you can see in some of the photos the spray did leave some streaks. I figured I would show that part. No one else really noticed the streaks though, so they aren't as noticeable as I thought they were. I'm in Southern California so it doesn't rain a lot here, but I wanted to waterproof it just in case.My biggest concern is having a tent that can hold up in the unforgiving desert, especially when it's really windy and cold. I have not tested those conditions yet, but I will by the end of the year. I will update this review with how this tent holds up in Joshua Tree.So far I have used this tent twice. Once at an established campground where it worked great, and once on a backpacking trip in Cleveland National Forest. I took the tent and poles out of the bag so I could pack those separately in my backpack for weight distribution and padding. The tent is lightweight enough that it actually did not add very much weight to my backpack. Which was great and left more room for water, food and other necessary items. It was a little bit chilly at night, in the 50s, and I was comfortable. During the day it was in the high 70s and this tent turned into a sauna! I think that is normal for most tents though. I kept the outside flaps open and the screened ones zipped shut to try to keep the temperature inside the tent a little bit cooler. There were lots of bugs out at night and none of them got inside my tent. So it does seal up nicely against all sorts of little critters and insects.Overall I am very happy with this tent so far. It's great for backpacking because it's lightweight and very easily packable. It's also not bad in cooler temperatures (50s) and it holds up pretty decent in light to moderate wind.I will be backpacking with this tent in November and I will update my review at that time. Then I will be camping in the desert with this tent. That will be the real test. I will update my review, again, after that trip as well. (The temperatures will be much lower at that time and it will be much more windy. Fingers crossed it works well.)
