I don't think I'd buy it for what the manufacturer wants for it, but I have a pretty low budget. As a contest prize, the price point was perfect for me. It is pretty neat. Fairly light weight, probably comparable weigh to carry a couple of poly tarps, and just as bulky. Much smaller and lighter than my four man Eureka, and better quality than my $25 - $70 Walmart/Canadian Tire tents.

The boy loves it. We'll see how it is after backpacking with it. It's mostly just single stitched, so I'm skeptical of the durability of the seams, but it's definitely a step up from the plain old blue tarp of despair.
