pleasantly surprised, A good 4th season tent.
I recently took a chance on a 4-season tent that was significantly more affordable compared to the higher-priced tents I usually purchase. Despite its slightly heavier weight, which is to be expected from a four-season tent, I found it quite manageable. I’ve tested it in snowy and sub-zero conditions, and it performed impressively well, keeping me comfortable and protected.Initially, I had reservations about the black rain cover, but the white fabric of the inner tent offsets any potential darkness, creating a surprisingly bright interior. However, due to limited natural light penetration, I found it necessary to use a hanging light for visibility during the day.The tent offers ample headroom and feels spacious, thanks to its very vertical sides. This design also contributes to a wider top area. Additionally, I was pleased with how well the tent managed moisture inside after a night’s sleep, which is a crucial factor in colder environments. Overall, this tent has proven to be a worthwhile investment, especially considering its affordability.

Four season tent, handled the cold well
This tent checks all the boxes.Well-madeFour season, (woke up to 8°F the first morning of a winter camp trip. This tent performed much better than previous tents used during the winter.)Good head roomLight, especially for sizeEasy set up and take down

A very nice tent
I used this on a recent camping trip where the overnight lows got into the low 20’s Fahrenheit. One thing that I did not realize when I purchased this tent, was that the tent itself is a proper single walled tent and could be used alone in the summer with few problems. There is only one small patch of mesh at the top of each door. The white of the tent is a water resistant tent fabric. When I bought the tent, I was thinking that there is no way that I’d use the tent during summer months because that black would just be too hot. But with the ability to skip the rainfly in warmer weather, now it’s a white tent that would probably be better in the summer months (which for me is mostly Arizona summer months).One thing that I was a bit disappointed in was the lack of a storage netting at each end like the cosmolito has. I didn’t notice until the next morning that there are small mesh pockets on the wall to either side of each door, but they wouldn’t hold things as well as the net shelves of the cosmolito. There is a potential of hooking up a storage net to the center of the ceiling, as there are nylon web that you could attach it to. But that would require purchasing a separate netting and hoping that it would fit properly.The wind wasn’t very strong when using this, however I camped out in the cosmolito (which I also have) with the same basic design and there was a 25 to 35 mph winds. That tent help up very well to the winds with only occasional movement to the wind. I would expect this Stella to have similar wind resistance.Temperature comfort. I can compare this tent to an REI tent in which I spent a night in similar temperatures and conditions recently. This Stella was so much more comfortable. I used the same 0° Teton sleeping bag for both trips. I was noticeably colder in the REI tent than in the Stella. The REI tent was a 3 season tent whereas this Stella is a 4 season tent. And having that double wall due to the Stella tent having proper tent walls combined with the rainfly made all the difference in comfort compared to the mesh walls of the REI tent with the rainfly.This is a very nice tent at an affordable price. The tent stakes great.I do have to disagree with the stated 4 lbs of the tent though. I weighed it, and mine weighs 5 lbs. The same as the cosmolito which is stated to be 5 lbs. Each of mine were weighed with the additional footprint which weighs next to nothing.

The tent is good, but I wish it was bigger, not a lot of space for gear.

This is the perfect 4 season tent big enough for 2. Very good quality
