Set it up freestanding on a rocky ridge where stakes wouldn't hold and it stood solid all night. The improved pole structure really does make a difference when you're tired and rigging it in the dark.

Packed this down to about the size of a loaf of bread and strapped it to my handlebars for a two-night gravel trip — the improved pole structure actually held up in gusty wind on an exposed ridge. Freestanding setup meant I could pitch it on hardpack without messing with stakes.

Packed this down small enough to lash to my handlebars without it catching on anything. The freestanding setup is a big plus on hard ground where stakes won't go in. Wish the pole bag were slightly bigger, but it's a minor gripe for how well it carries.
