Used Terra Nova Solar Photon 2. I'm the second owner and it has seen a combined 2 weeks of use. Tent was used adjacent to a woodstove but I've cleaned and aired it out since. I no longer notice a smoke smell but I am a smoker, please be aware if you are overly sensitive. Only 3 original stakes are included, a few cheap extras will be added.There are three very small cuts (under 1 cm) in the floor and a hole in the front vent with a diameter of about 2mm, all easily fixable with a dab of silicone on both sides.Very weatherproof with great ventilation, especially when used for one. 12 stake/guy points for stability (needs 4 minimum to maintain full shape), 2 more for front and rear vents. You'll need to supplement a few stakes of your own to take advantage of all the options. I weighed the packed tent with stuffsacks and pole but without stakes, it came out to 34 oz.This was formerly # 3 or 4 on Outdoorgearlab's lightweight tent list and compares favorably to a Big Agnes Fly Creek or Fly Creek Platinum. Manufacturer's specs:The Solar Photon 2 tent is the lightest 2-person self-supporting tent in the world!.Featuring front and rear fly hoods for great ventilation and its stable shape has been designed for use in poor weather. the Solar Photon 2 is compatible with the Terra Nova FASTPACK system which allows those who want to trim weight further when conditions permit, to use the flysheet and the fastpack groundsheet which is available separately.
