One thing to note: These are not canvas tents, don't expect them to be. They are not durable like canvas, and are not as warm.
That being said, they are exceptionally light in comparison.
They are nice for layout.
They set up easy
Get way bigger than you need. Especially if you have a cot. You need to be much further away from the walls with a cot.
They don't retain heat at all.
They pack up great, light weight, and have lots of room. But don't treat them like a canvas tent. Also they will not last nearly as long as a good wall tent.(I know some will say they will, but I still have a wall tent that was my grandfathers, and he bought it in the early 70s)
I have a tepi, and a cabela's alaknak, and two different canvas tents. If you use them for there purpose they are fantastic, just don't expect one to do the others job.
Also you need to remember there are center poles in most of these, it can be a pain in certain situations, so be carefull.
