Incredibly light and packs small. I set it up in the dark the first time and it was really easy. Everything is color coated and the tie downs for steaks have reflective material in the string to see better with a light at night. I like it
Update: Slept through and stood up to a snowy night and morning. Still my go to tent for backpacking these last few years.

Actually used this the first time on a solo hike that ended up in the snow and cold at 6,500 ft.
Like my other Nemo tent (the 2P version) this was great. Assembled fast. Sturdy in the wind.
To help keep the cold in I pulled the non-door side of the fly down against the side to cover up the mesh and it worked well.
The only issues I’ve had with my Nemo tents are that the zippers tend to snag, but I can live with that.
Can’t comment on the waterproofness of the tub since I’ve been lucky enough not to be over-nighting in any deluges lately.

Went to a 1 night backpacking trip to Reflection Canyon Utah. After setting up my tent, I went to get pictures of Reflection Canyon, after I am done and was heading back to where I set up the tent. As I approached while walking down the hills I know that there is already something wrong with the tent because the shape is already different. And there it is one of the pole on one of the connector was already bent. As the wind continues to blow non stop the pole already completely separated from the bent part and tore up a hole on the rainfly. I ended up using one of the stake to create a connection between the separated pole. Good thing I have tape from my first aid kit. In fairness to Nemo the wind was really blowing really hard. I would guess it has a gust of 60 to 65 at that day. However the 1 person tent of my companion (I think it was a discontinued 1 person Northface because I can’t find it on Northface’s website, and I did not ask my cousin about the model) was holding pretty good. In my opinion, the crossbow tent pole design handles wind better than what Nemo’s Dragonfly design. But the Nemo’s has more room inside. Another thing that I don’t like is that sand went inside my tent. However I think any type of tent with that kind of wind will undoubtedly would not prevent any sand from coming in. I really like the style of this Nemo Dragonfly, it’s very light and small. If you ask me whether I would still buy another product from Nemo I would say yes, but I would probably look and try another brand if I would be expecting same kind of condition that I encountered on that day.
