I never did find anything saying how many "men" it's supposed to hold, but I know my previous 8' x 7' tent was fairly smallish for me. This is supposed to be UV resistant, or whatever they call it, and supposed to be pretty good in the wind, too. Besides, for $8, I think most of us would at least try it, huh? 😁😉 Right at 10 pounds is a bit heavier than I'd really like, but it's one of those compromises you have to make, when you're tall and need more room. ✌️ They do call it a backpacking tent, btw, just on the heavier end of that category, I guess.
