I purchased this tent to backpack with my 3 kids. While this isn't exactly a backpacking tent at 8.5 lbs, it's really only about 1lb heavier than other 4 person backpacking tents I could find, all of which cost at least 3 times as much. The lightest 4 person tent I found was $400 and 7lbs, so I figured for a $300 savings I could deal with a little extra weight.
I just used it for the first trip last weekend and it worked great. The tent part packed down nice and small and was compressed pretty easily, the only negative is that the poles are exceptionally long. I had to unzip the sleeping bag compartment a little and slide the poles down into it to get it in the pack (it's a 65L pack with an expanding collar on top). When we got to the camp it was very easy to set up, even though I'd never done it before nor had any instructions. The tent looks good and is a great size, although 4 adults would be cozy in it (at 8' wide, essentially each person gets 2' of room which is plenty for a thermarest, but no extra for gear).
And of course, it poured down rain the entire time. I'm happy to say the tent is 99% waterproof. After a night of heavy downpours I found 2 quarter sized spots of water in the tent, not enough to get anyone wet but I'll probably go over it with seam sealer to be safe.
Overall I'm happy with the performance and price, and although it's not really meant to be used for backpacking, it will do the job in a pinch.
