It's Super Lightweight And Crazy Fast To Set Up. Less Than Two Minutes Without The Fly, I Timed It Ha Ha! I Would Give It A 5 Star Rating If I Didn't Have Just Two Issues With It. 1 - It's Kind Of A Hassle Getting It Back Into The Bag. It Doesn't Slip Back In So Easily. No Biggy 2- Here's The Bigger Problem; On My Second Outing With This Tent, I Took It On A Backpacking Trip Through Some Canyons (tighter Slot Canyons As Well), The Bag Just Couldn't Take The Beating It Got. The Bag Got A Whole Bunch Of Little Holes In It. I Became A Little Concerned For The Tent Inside So I Wrapped My Rain Jacket Around It. The Second Night I Pulled The Tent Out Of The Bag And The Whole Bottom Of The Bag Ripped Apart. Lame! I Paid Enough For The Tent I Would Think The Bag Around It To Protect It Would Last Longer. So Now I Have To Get A New Bag, Or Duct Tape It. I'm A Little Worried That The Tent Might Not Last Long Now. I Hope So Because It's So Easy To Carry And I Invested Some Good Money Into This Tent."]},"moosejaw":{"source":"http://www.moosejaw.com/product_big-agnes-fly-creek-ul-2-person-tent_10093236_10208_10000001_-1_","users Review":["if You Are Looking For An Ultralight Tent, Look No Further. This Tent Will Easily Fit Two Average Sized Adults Or Just You And All Of Your Gear. Probably The Quickest Pitch I've Ever Experienced, And Easiest At That(even Easier Than My Old Pop Up, And Lighter By A Few Gallons Of Water). Sturdy Construction And Excellent Design Will Just Make Whatever Experience You Are Going For That Much Better. I Would Recommend This To Just About Anyone That Is Gonna Do Anything More Than Car Camp. Just Writing This Review Is Making Me Want To Go Pitch Mine..."]},"backcountryedge":{"users Review":["bob W.\r Plain City Oh\r \r \r 7/7/2012\r Likes: Very Light And Easy To Set Up\r Dislikes: Nothing As Of Yet"],"source":"http://www.backcountryedge.com/big_agnes-fly-creek-ul-2.aspx"},"backcountry":{"users Review":["i Bought The Fly Creek 2 For A Self Contained Solo Cross Country Bicycle Trip. Just Me And My Bike (and Everything I Needed In 4 Panniers. The First 20 Days Of The Tour Had Measurable Rain So I Got To Experience The Rain Resistance. The Only Leak Was Where The Tag Was Sewn In The Fly And That Was Limited To A Few Drops In A Hard Driving Rain. I Did Not Have A Problem With Water Coming Into The Tent When Entering And Leaving As You Do Not Have To Unzip The Vestibule To The Top To Exit Or Enter. I Purchased It Because Of The Light Weight, And Small Packed Size. I Wanted To Be Able To Pack The Tent Poles In My Panniers And The 19 Inch Poles Fit Nicely In My Rear Panniers. I Used The Uj-2 As A One Person Plus Gear Tent So Did Not Have Problems With The Single Door. I Could Fit The 4 Panniers, Handle Bar Bag And Myself In Without Any Problems."],"source":"http://www.backcountry.com/big-agnes-fly-creek-tent-ul2-2-person-3-season"}}
