Ivy BIvy B: Ok, I JUST received my KAZOO Venus 1 person tent, set it up in the yard for inspection, and I can already tell that this was a prudent purchase.
I am just getting into backpacking and I had my eye on another tent (MSR Hubba Hubba 1) until I came across this tent. Seeing as how I'm a newb, I really didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on something for an activity that may not be for me, so after reading up on the materials, the weight, the features, and all of the reviews (here and elsewhere), I decided to pull the trigger on this tent.
PROS:
1) It only weighs 3.5 pounds (on my bathroom scale) with EVERYTHING - inner tent, rainfly, stakes, pole, and all the individual stuffsacks. That's pretty light. If you leave the individual sacks at home, you can shave off a little more weight. Maybe not as light as the other tent I was looking at, but this is 1/5 the price.
2) It's polyester instead of nylon - This may not be a pro for some, but for me it is. Polyester is hydrophobic, (repels moisture) whereas nylon is hydrophilic (absorbs moisture). When nylon gets wet, it will often sag/stretch as it absorbs moisture. Polyester won't really do that. Nylon IS lighter...

Seth: This is a great tent if you backpack or even car camp. I bought the two person tent, but it’s more like a spacious one person. You could probably cram in two people if you had to. It’s easy for just a single person to setup as well. At five pounds, it’s a very portable and the packed down dimensions makes it comfortable to carry on your backpack.
I would recommend highly setting it up first and attaching the inner walls to the outer wall first. It’s all toggles and loops, but doing this at home helped me figure out how the tent went up. You’ll never need to unattach them after the first time as the tent rolls up fine. Also, waterproof the rain fly, seams, and sides of the outer wall before you use it. I used an entire spray can of Kiwi tent waterproofer and that made a world of difference between a totally dry tent and a “damp” tent.
The only downside of this tent, IMO, is the ground tarp that comes with it. It’s bigger that the footprint of the tent, so it allows rain to drop down and go under your sleeping area. But easy work around I found was just don’t attach it to the poles, leave it loose just under the main sleeping portion. When the tent is...

MichaelMichael: Venus2 Tent is a less expensive copy of another tent on the market. First of all it is more a 1 person + gear or dog tent than an actual 2 person tent. 2 adults would be cramped but having two large vestibule/entrances helps. Tent fly and groundsheet on the one I received are seamsealed, stitching is consistent. Had it setup for two days in the rain and everything inside remained dry. Poles and pegs are the same as the more expensive tent and I love the fact that this has comes with 14 pegs: 8 for the tent itself and 6 for additional tie-out points. Should be rock solid in the wind. Entry is easy and zippers open and close smoothly.
There are two things I don't like. The groudsheet is too large for the tent footprint. As such, water drips off the fly onto the groundsheet and runs under the fly to the tent. Simple fix is to fold the sheet underneath the tent body leaving the vestibules without a floor but still protecting the thin fabric of the tent. The second thing I dislike is the weight and size of the tent once in its bag.
Overall, great tent for the price and perfect for someone just getting into backpacking. Would also be a great bike packing tent.
