Light, Compact, But Perhaps Better Suited For 1p
What I like most: It shaved about 3 lbs off my total pack weight for solo backpack hunting (sub 4 lbs w groundcloth). And it packs small with the updated sticks. For those reasons alone, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to someone looking for what I was. The weight savings leaves the materials feeling thin over the other tents I have, but I rode out a couple thunderstorms that piled some sleet on the fly and it held up well. Time will tell on the durability and longevity.
What could be improved: As I saw in other reviews this tent has two shortfalls that I can accept for the weight savings and compactness, but I agree with. 1) It says its a 2P tent. When I got it, I set it up in the yard and invited both the wife and dog inside to compare the feel to our 2P and 3P dual vestibule summer backpacking tents. We all fit, but its tight. Suffice it to say, there would be a high probability of elbows blackening eyes if we rolled with this one in the summer. And it would be very difficult to exit the tent and vestibule without major disturbance to your cuddlebug given the configuration. For my solo backpack hunting adventures, however, it was nice. I had room for dirty laundry at the foot, layers on one side, and never rolled over on my rifle stored on the other. Pack and boots fit in the vestibule and stayed dry in rain, snow, and sleet. Overhead pocket for headlamp, side pocket for phone and power bank, and top center gear loft was very homey and organized. 2) The head wall is steep, presumably to negate this issue, but it remains. That is, if the outside of your tent is wet, the top of the vestibule zipper is right over where your head would be laying in your bag. When you open the zipper on the vestibule, some water is going to fall on the top of your bag or pillow. "Just move your stuff before you open the hatch," you say? Yeah, I did that. And then there was a little water on the floor at the head of the tent. Again, this one wasn't a deal breaker for me either, the design just felt like it was really close to not being an issue at all.
I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tent for my solo adventures, but probably would suggest one of Big Agnes' dual vestibule models for a couple.

Easy To Attach To Handlebars!
This is so lightweight and attaches to the handlebars easily. I was even able to attach another handlebar bag to the tent to give me a bit more storage space. I was a little worried about this taking up all of my handlebar storage space so this was really helpful. It is really compact and easy to put up and take down.

The Only Tent For Me
This tent has been a companion through multiple thru-hikes, and it has held up so well I'm almost wondering if it will last me forever! I broke a pole once but I was able to send it in ane got it repaired in time to keep backpacking.

Great Bikepacking Tent
I took this tent on a bikepacking tour around the Westfjords in June. The tent was extremely lightweight and packed down nicely. With the tent footprint (which is not sold as part of this item), water ingress was not an issue even on a rainy night. It held up to wind fairly well but would not hold up in a gale force wind in a highly exposed / zero coverage area. The internal features are great. Big agnes could improve with a more deliberate bike-attachment system. The stuffsack is not fully waterproof, which is a big problem for me. The straps work well but leave more to be desired. Next time I will stuff the tent into a different stuffsack which is waterproof and higher capacity.

Awesome Tent
Ive used this thing a few times and its great. It's easy to put together and super light. The zippers haven't been stuck at all on the tent itself but on the raincover can be a little finicky. The material seems pretty durable but is a little questionable on the bottom, id get the footprint for sure. I haven't used it bikepacking just backpacking but it's awesome, with the amount of mesh the stars are also usually awesome.

Fantastic Backpacking/bikepacking Tent
This is a fantastic tent - very lightweight at a great price. It held up very well during it's first use, which entailed nearly an entire night of rain. Not a single leak was had. Setup was easy and fairly intuitive. Probably the only complaint is that some type of vents would be nice, as the tent got very hot and muggy, though the weather didn't help with that at all.

Best Bikepacking Tent
My goal was to buy an incredibly lightweight and compact tent for bikepacking Europe. I used this tent while hiking and there is plenty of space for 2 people. Weight is a 10/10. Great attachment points for bike and backpack. There is nothing bad I can say about this. Completely worth it if weight is incredibly important. Although lightweight it is still durable and I do not fear it ripping or having any issues. I will be using it for 17 days straight this summer in Europe.

This tent is hands down my go-to tent for both bikepacking and backpacking. It's incredibly lightweight, packs down small, and the short pole segments are perfect for handlebars or a pack.
Setup is quick, the interior feels surprisingly spacious, and it held up great during a stormy night in the mountains.
Whether I'm riding or hiking, this tent strikes the perfect balance of comfort, weight, and convenience. Highly recommend for anyone on the move.

Great Tent With A Couple Downsides
Overall, I like the tent. It's lightweight, quick and easy to set up, and equally easy to pack away. I'm 5'9" and weigh 210. There is plenty of room inside for myself and some gear. Most of the gear stays in the vestibule. The internal pockets are great and help keep things like a headlamp from being lost in the clutter of the tent. Big Agnes needs to address two downsides. The first, which should be easily remedied, is the fly zippers are finicky, especially when the fly is wet. It makes matters worse that both zipper pulls are identical, so I invariably pull the wrong one in the dark when getting up to pee. The second problem, which won't be as easy to remedy, is that strong winds flatten the tent, even with all the guylines set and taught. Thankfully, this happened in Florida, so I ditched the fly, and the wind blew through the netting, leaving the tent upright.

This was my first tent, and I've used it for backpacking all over the world. It's a great tent and I love it a lot! Its super lightweight and is a really good fit for smaller areas because of the semi freestanding nature. While I have gotten two people in it, it was pretty cozy and has been a really good fit for just myself and my gear on longer trips. Not nearly as much headspace as the Copper Spur or Hubba Hubba but a good size. Its super easy to set up alone and I've done it may times in pitch dark once I got to know it!
Keeping in mind that I have an older version so they may have fixed this in the newer ones (don't know for sure), my only complaints is that the end opposite the door is really low and it is often hard to peg the fly out enough that it doesn't touch the mesh inner. I find that my sleeping bag often gets damp from condensation, but not enough to affect my comfort.
In all, its a really great beginner tent for solo travel and the bikepacking length poles make it super easy to fit in my backpack. The poles are a little longer than the MSR Hubba Hubba bikepack tent but are a super great length.

Don't Like The Fly Design
Love the compact & lightweight nature of this tent, and thought I was getting the same as my friend's (just with the solution dye), and was disappointed to see the 2022 and 2021 versions are materially different. They changed the fly so it's doesn't overhang the entrance when open, and also changed the position so you can't have a partially open fly (eg for sleeping on hotter night). You can't stake the fly peg when not zipped which is particularly bad in the morning when there's moisture on the fly, it just ends up entering the tent (really unclear how this is supposed to make sense and why they changed the design from what was perfectly practical and functional). During set up I also have trouble with the fly seam aligning correctly over the support pole structure, despite the tension set. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this tent due to the less functional fly. If I could buy the old one, I'd replace the one I have. I will echo the comment about the 3 straps making no sense for a bike (with a stem in the way), but don't usually use the bag anyway.

Awesome Tent For Smaller Folks (With Smaller Feet)
This is a great tent - light, yet full of useful features, packs down small, pretty much everything you'd want from a tent when comfort, light weight & ease of setup are all about equal on your priority list. I wish we could keep having great adventures together, but at 5'11" with size-12 feet, I just don't fit. Even with a low-rise foam sleeping pad, my toes are constantly brushing against the interior wall. Luckily I've got short friends who will rock the heck out of the Fly Creek!

Best Tent I've Ever Owned
TLDR: If you're deciding between the 1P and 2P, just get the 2P. Excellent stealth tent. I got the 2 person version for solo bikepacking and it was a winner. It really doesn't take up that much more space than the 1P and it allowed me to keep all my gear inside and dry. Fast forward and I find someone to bikepack with me(!) - we both fit perfectly with room for the essentials at the foot. It's vertically spacious enough that you can sit upright and the front opening if super convenient. There is an upside to the neutral colour of the tent in that it makes it easier to stealth camp. The downside is that we almost got smushed by a truck that didn't see us (in what we thought was a secluded spot). If you're worried about visibility, I would drape a bright reflective towel or jacket over the tent. Otherwise it's perfect. Also don't overload the top pocket - for essentials only.

Not For Tall People
Overall I like the tent. But only if I wasn't 6'2". The foot clearance is too short and even if there is enough length in the tent, my toes hit the tent. The slop on is too acute of an angle to give room for taller people.
