Mesh did not stop no-see-ums
This would be a great tent except that it doesn't block no-see-ums. We tried this tent on two trips and were covered in no-see-um bites both times. On the second trip, we used our bug tent to cover the Aurora tent just to try to keep them out. This tent would have been a great addition--easy to set up, spacious, good pockets, good fly coverage. With such poor mesh, we had terrible sleeps, bites for weeks, and won't be taking it out again.

Worst tent investment I've ever made
I bought the Aurora 3 person tent for backpacking. Not too keen on the one piece tent pole, the zippers are terrible quality. The tent doesn't come with enough guidelines to stake the whole tent out. I got four guidelines and two tiny ones. The included instructions and videos they have o. YouTube share very little information on setting the tent up and guiding it out entirely. The center separate tent pole doesn't have a connection point to the fly which the zipper gets in the way of it and I can tell just by looking at it that it will over time wear a hole in the tent fly in windy conditions. There's only two gear pockets, which three would be great in a three person tent. I feel like this tent is Coleman level of quality and engineering behind the tent. There are ten possible guideline attachment points but only four guidelines and two short guidelines that I can't even where they belong. There's 8 tent pegs included, four for the base and four for guidelines and to properly stake out the vestibule I need more 2 tent pegs. I'm heading to Algonquin park for a week and I'm worried this tent won't stand up to much weather. I'm regretting purchasing this and I've only set it up in my living room. I don't think this tent was really well thought out. And for the price point I should get guidelines that have a 10 cent injection moulded slack adjuster on the guidelines. I really wish I didn't buy this tent.

Great upgrade for our fam!
With our kiddo now nearly a full-sized human, it was time for our fam to upgrade from a 2p tent. I chose the Aurora for its headroom and packability, and was thrilled! It fit our 3 sleeping pads easily, the stow pockets are perfectly placed and big enough, and since we're all under 6ft tall, both of our dogs had plenty of space to sleep at our feet. I experienced no claustrophobic-family-tent-rage, which is a huge win. On its maiden voyage, I set it up in 4 minutes alone, without even having read the instructions. Super intuitive. It spent one night in the rain (nailed it!), and had a couple of dry nights following. We're really pleased with our Aurora. Oh - and if you're reading older reviews mentioning a single one-way zipper on the doors, don't worry! This has been updated and the zippers are great.
