Perks
The Clip Flashlight benefits from clean design and practical features. The current model has stronger poles and a stiffer frame that maximizes interior space. The rounded design makes the Clip Flashlight stand strong against wind. The tent feels slim enough to stay light but roomy enough to sit up in.
Sacrifices
While the Clip Flashlight is roomy for one, it can be cramped for two, particularly if one of the sleepers is larger. While the two-pole design makes for quick set up, the reliance on stakes means that the Clip Flashlight cannot be used on ground too hard for stakes. In other words, its useless on scenic cliff-tops.
Bottom Line
An all-around tent with some limitations, the Clip Flashlight is a worthy pick that will serve you well for years. It goes up easy, makes for a comfortable shelter and packs tight enough to be squished into any backpacking arrangement.
