This review is for Riverbend 2. It performs well under (approx.) 40 mph gust and rain on top of Mount Ciremai, West Java (+/- 9852 feet ASL). I setup the tent with all guylines and I was little bit surprised about how this baby stands still and eat wind!! very sexy.. Pro: quick setup, fair weight, moderate price, nice-looking, roomy and strength. Con: rainfly is too high from ground, under heavy rain the lower tent body got wet. No gear loaf. Vestibule too small for 2 persons's gear. All-in-all, good enough for backpacking and camping in tropical countries if you can set it up properly.

this an awesome tent. i cant say this enough, if you are looking for a style this is it, very easy to set up, vents very well, and packs light, 5 pounds thats it, go for it, get out there and explore the new world with a tent like this.

I purchased this tent at Valhalla Pure for an off-road touring trip on my Mt. Bike. The easy set up and room in this tent is awsome. It was very nice after a long day of peddaling to have to spend so little time and energy in setting up this tent. My 6'2 frame never came close to streaching the end of the tent. In fact during a stay at a seedy campground I thought it smart to have the paniers inside the tent. I thought it would be cramped, but my girlfrien and I found that we did not even notice the added gear in the tent that night. I was not forced to scrunch up my legs like I thought. The bag that the tent came in was a little large for the size of the tent but I purchased a compression bag for it and my family and friends were very impressed with the size of the tent after compression. So was I for that matter. The tent weighed in at almost 5 pounds after I added the compression sack, wich is very managable. The mesh top offers awsome star gazing with the fly off. The fly has vents which allow for good air flow, and windows that tint when the sun hits them. Very cool! I highly recomend this tent for its ease in setting up, quality, and design.
