Does anyone have experience with this tent? Found a lightly used one and thinking about jumping in on it. I'd appreciate any info you folks might have. Reviews look pretty good, just was hoping to get some additional practical comments.
Thanks,

Good question. Think seller is going hammock. Me, I mostly hammock but want a good tent for areas that don't allow them. I've got a phlimont trip in 2017 and a shorter trek next spring that a tent makes more sense on. Leaning towards TT Notch, but the price hurts right now (irs was not my friend these last several months), or SMD Lunar. This was a slightly smaller and lower prices alternative.
What has me confused is I'm finding negative info on line from folks who haven't used it (obviously not very useful) but not praise from those who have.

"What has me confused is I'm finding negative info on line from folks who haven't used it '
that happens a lot but sometime at least for valid reasons.
After one has used several shelters and say familiar with many more it can be very easy to spot the good and bad points in a new design.
I am sure you do the same with something you are particularly familiar with but others are not.

I would do some asking about ventilation and condensation issues. I love my Contrail, which has a similar design minus the side door, and I do have to be careful with setup to avoid condensation issues. With the side door closed, the Zero 1 doesn't have the side ventilation that the Contrail does. It would worry me a little.

The Zero1 looks a bit like a coffin and doesn't allow much ventillation. I think it would be a better choice in California than in the Rockies where thunderstorms happen more regularly. You can bank on having to ride out afternoon storms in Philmont, and I'd rather be in the Notch.
I think I'd like the Zero1, but I rarely actually need a tent.
