Review by Dan Evans for ALPS Mountaineering Mystique 1.5 -4 by -8 Foot One Person Backpacking Tent
Rating:
I have used this tent once so far on a backpacking trip. The tent is pretty quick and easy to set up but it is diffucult to get the sag out of it between the large pole and the small pole. After I had the rain fly on I was able to pull the large pole forward and have the rain fly keep it in place. This reduced some but not all of the sag. I may have to add a bungee and another stake to solve this issue. It is a good size for one person. A little bigger would be nice but for backpacking sake you want to keep it small and light. I found that this tent rolled up smaller than the factory description. I experienced very light rain during the night in this tent. I had no moisture issues with rain or condensation. Overall I am pretty satisfied.
