The A-frame style tent has been around for a very long time, and the Dutch have a knack for taking something already really good and making it a lot better.

It's constructed with a DPM colored; poly-cotton construction that might be a bit unfamiliar to most. A lot of tents are made out of a thin nylon to save on weight and, frankly, cost. When you're not carrying a tent around on a ruck sometimes it pays to have the more robust option, and you'll certainly get it once you crawl inside this one.

It has an integrated rainfly, tub-style sealed floor to keep you dry, and mesh vents on the top of the doors to let out any excess heat in the tent. 

One of the interesting features of this tent is the ability to combine them in a voltron-esque way - the zippers allegedly allow you to connect them together for the ultimate no-girls-allowed sleepover.

The wide opening on both sides makes it easy to cram you & your gear in for a good night's sleep, and while it's described as "two person" it's more like 1-man plus gear or a cozy couple (be sure to kiss your homies good night).

Tips and DIY Improvements 

• As with basically any tent, We recommend that you replace the stakes it comes with and get lightweight stakes to lower the weight a bit. 
• The two support poles can be ditched in favor of your trusty trekking poles, if you want to cut down the weight and bulk even more. But be careful with the business end of your poles when it comes to holding down the tent so you don't poke a hole.

Condition

Tents are in great condition, with only minor signs of use at most.
