It has enough headroom to change clothes while sitting up, though space may be a little tight for two large people. The tent is easy to set up and holds up in wind and rain. Due to its ultralight construction, the fabric, zippers and poles need to be treated carefully to avoid damaging them.

The Big Agnes Fly Creek Tents are shockingly lightweight. They are well designed and backed by top notch Big Agnes customer service.
