Nice tent

I just got this in the mail, I set it up the first night and I love the amount of room. Theres enough for me and one other without being squished together. It has such an easy set up as well. This tents rainfly has vents on two sides of the tents that make sense. The vestibule space is very large. I like that the pockets are on the sides as sometimes in other tents the pockets on the ceiling allow stuff to fall out, I do love the nightlight pocket though. Very nice spot for a headlamp. This tent will be very nice for cozy trips and light enough to hike out with.

Great tent

Nothing too crazy, standard tent that set up very quickly and easily. Quite a few stash pockets. Cool ceiling pocket to place your headlamp in and have more light. Rain fly fits nicely and held up during a small storm in the woods. Had plenty of sticks and pinecones sound like they were beating up the tent during the storm and it held up perfectly! Standard 3P tent that would definitely not hold 3 people

Simple setup, packable, lightweight, affordable.

I have taken the Aurora 3P on three backpacking trips so far. The tent is lightweight and easy to divide between two or three people. It is a simple design without a lot of extra features, which helps to keep the weight down. The tent is very simple to set up and take down. I ended up buying a few more stakes to utilize all the guy points. The interior has a little extra room above your head and at your feet, but it is recommended you check out all your sleeping pads before hitting the trail to make sure they fit the width (three Wide pads won't fit). I'm very happy with my Aurora 3P and will soon invest in an Aurora 2P.

Great upgrade for our fam!

With our kiddo now nearly a full-sized human, it was time for our fam to upgrade from a 2p tent. I chose the Aurora for its headroom and packability, and was thrilled! It fit our 3 sleeping pads easily, the stow pockets are perfectly placed and big enough, and since we're all under 6ft tall, both of our dogs had plenty of space to sleep at our feet. I experienced no claustrophobic-family-tent-rage, which is a huge win. On its maiden voyage, I set it up in 4 minutes alone, without even having read the instructions. Super intuitive. It spent one night in the rain (nailed it!), and had a couple of dry nights following. We're really pleased with our Aurora. Oh - and if you're reading older reviews mentioning a single one-way zipper on the doors, don't worry! This has been updated and the zippers are great.
