Whie on ebay I came across this tent. Looks better than the one made from a space blanket. Is anyone familiar with item?

Looks like a cheap pup tent. I'll bet you will have problems with condensation. Couldn't find any information on what the item weighs, but for equivalent weight or less, I would much prefer a bivvy sack. Most are somewhat more costly, but you get what you pay for....

I have spent many comfortable nights in bivvy sacks, and when I want to save on weight, that is what I use.

Isn't it lined with space blanket material?I had thought of condensation so I didn't want one. Just found it interesting. I have a bivy in my hike pack. They do serve thier purpose.
