Superb deal on a decent 2-person backpacking tent. I have used ALPS tents in the past and found them well made and durable. This certainly isn't going to win the lightest award for a 2-person but for $65 is a steal.

Ive got the older model (rust and orange cor) in 1 man, 1 man and 4 man. Great tents for the price, not my backpacking setup but rather for car, bicycle and moto camping.

Solid company, great customer support. I buy their products even at a premium, but usually they are one of the most affordable options.

If only it were an instant tent. Dealing with poles is annoying.
What do you find annoying. Quarter/half dome tents like this that have exposed poles can go up in under 2 minutes with one person, faster with two people. Simply unfold the poles and put in the grommet on one side. Walk to the other side and put the poles in the other grommet. Lift both poles and hang the center hook to keep them upright. Then just walk around the tent to attach the clips.

Sliding poles through fabric loops can be cumbersome but this tent does not have that problem. It also has aluminum poles that are more sturdy than anything found on an instant tent.

Instant tents weight more, do not pack up as small, and have sewn in poles that are a PITA when they break.

Clips are on the outside on this one, which make it much easier to set up than the traditional style of having to insert thru a sleeve.

I find dealing with the long poles and clips annoying. my 4P Coleman sundome isn't difficult either but when my buddy can have his instant tent up in seconds, why bother with poles? I car camp so the weight doesn't matter to me. Just my opinion and preference - next tent will be an instant one.
