| I recently took a trip down to Ecuador and had this tent with me in case any overnight camping opportunities came up. My last weekend there we all went to cotopaxi and camped at the foot of the mountain in a dry river bed. This held up in 40 mph wind, rain, snow, and sleet! The rain fly did a great job keeping the moisture out as well as the wind. The only down side is the stakes that came with it, not the best quality (easily bendible and not the best hold) but you can buy better quality cheap so no big deal. |

| Dry and comfortable in rain, light snow, frozen slush. No experience yet with open exposures, high winds, or sand. Definitely easy to set up and break down. Footprint with fly helps to keep tent drier during breakdowns in the rain. Footprint of course, also protects tent floor while tent is in use. Would like to have a rear window and/or operational rear vent. Also prefer a vestibule that can be opened to either side (greater flexibility for varied siting And provides additional ventilation options). All in all, however, a great tent thus far. Time will tell how durable it is. |

The best tent with the smallest pricetag |

| After searching and researching this is the best tent available for the price. Its lightweight, easy to set up, and it pack really small. The tent is comfortable for two real sized adults to sleep in and plenty of room under the fly to keep your gear out of the weather. I used it for camping on a beach on a kayaking trip and sleeping in the jungle. It held up well, kept the rain and the bugs out. Its the best tent I have ever used. The only downfall the footprint isn't included with the tent. |

| Tested out my new test last week and was very happy. I set it up indoors a few days prior to make sure I knew the drill. It was late and drizzing when I thought it's a good time to text the tent. Set up was fast and easy using only a head lamp to see and working fast so I didn't get soaked. The tent was dry and roomy, lots of head room and pockets for my light and wallet. |

| Scout camping w/ends and up to a week at a time,when it's warm out there's plenty of ventalation, also used it in fall temp went down to -20f,having right sleeping bag helped. Been in a couple of 12 hr plus torrential downpours and the inside stayed perfectly dry. You pay for what you get and you get a lot of bang for the buck with this tent..... |

| Newbie used it last two weekends, both rained. All my friend's tent got water in. I slept nice and tight! I am very happy I spent good money and brought this tent! Remember to get a footprint for this. |

| I found the EMS Escape 2 to be very easy to set up. Ventilation was excellent and the fly was very secure. It is very lightweight and ideal for hiking. I would definitely recommend this product. |

| Great Tent. Perfect size for two, easy set up and packs down small. Downside is that there is only one entrance, but other than that it is perfect |

| This light weight tent packed up in a duffel for flying, and was perfect for a 5 day California vacation! |
