This tent is well worth the purchase for anyone looking to travel light. I use it for motorcycle camping and its light weight and compact size are impressive.
The tent is an absolute cinch to set up. I purchased the optional footprint, and the entire setup, including rain fly, takes just a few minutes. As the prior review notes, the walls are steep which results in adequate space for a true one-person tent. The "vestibule" area under the rain fly is quite small, so don't expect to keep much beneath it.
Tear down is also easy, although I find the plastic clips for both the footprint and rain fly to be somewhat difficult to remove. This may be because I'm a bit concerned about the quality of the plastic "H-clips" and so I'm extra cautious when handling them. At the end of each tent strap (one at each corner), there is a single plastic piece with two H-clips. The plastic clips on the footprint and rain fly attach to the H-clips. The H-clips seem a bit flimsy to me. After just a couple uses, the H-clips are intact, so, at this point, this is more of a concern than a criticism. I have included a photo of the H-clips in the product description. I have no other concerns about the build quality. I have not used the tent in the rain, but have used it in colder weather when the grass is very wet from dew, and there has been no issue with water getting through the floor (there are no seams on the floor). I also have not used it in high winds, so I cannot yet comment on how well it would hold up.
I am 5'5" and about 160 pounds and this tent provides plenty of space for me, both in width and length. It should accommodate a person up to 6' or perhaps taller. Regarding interior dimensions, I use a Thermarest Pro Lite Plus mattress, size large, which is 25" x 77" (63cm x 196cm) and it fits just about perfectly on the tent floor.
Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it.

The Sierra Designs Vapor Light 1-Person 3-Season Tent gets in under the three-pound mark to keep a smile on your face when you're miles into an ultralight trip. A pair of hubbed poles steepen this tent's walls and increase internal living space. You also get a large front vestibule to keep your small pack and boots out of the rain while you wait out a storm.Product Features
