"I used a section of tyvek as a groundsheet, made sure to take care of the tent well, and it's still my solo tent with a durability guestimate of 85%. Nothing broken, no issues, a couple tears in the floor I duct taped and is somehow still attached. For me, it was perfect."
"it stayed rigid in really strong wind."
"I used my Lunar Solo on the PCT for 6 months everyday with no issues and still use it."

"how rapid it is to pitch"
"Conversely I don’t have a hard time pitching mine ever. ... If you pitch by staking out the left and right rear corners first, insert the pole at the recommended lemgth, stake out front, and then stake out the rest of the panels it pitches perfect every time. ... You also need to be certain to stake directly in line with the seams and not at an angle or it’ll be baggy. ... I find it very easy and fast to pitch."
"the single pole setup is super easy."

"The bathtub part is pretty hard to get right, and takes a lot of faffery, for often no gain. ... I have never gotten a 'good pitch' of the bathtub despite trying many different iterations of how to pitch it. ... condensation is a thing with this tent, and a good pitch helps with airflow. ... Nothing like having those bottom vents pointing at the ground."
"Condensation. Not an issue with a sponge, apart from when the tent flaps and slaps me with wet fabric. ... Or flaps and shakes condensation on me."
"you will be touching the condensation because of the wall slopes ... very hard to get the bathtub up to what it is meant to be. ... I would find that everything would be touching the wall of the tent and getting wet somewhat."

"It's an endless hassle to wrangle that thing into a site that's just a little too small, but it's site you want for the night. ... It's just too much work after a long day of backpacking."
"The carbon pole they sell is rubbish. ... Far too flexy = more flapping. ... It needs a trekking pole or similar stiffness pole."

"I also found it awkward to set up so it was taught. Even with practice."
"Also the pitch is a little awkward to get consisten ... got a couple good pitches but now it seems a bit more random."
"Pitch can be a bit tricky and don't always get it good but the tie outs help enough where I use them every time."
