This tent was purchased in Feb 2015 and has served me well, but the zippers are starting to get troublesome. Despite cleaning, tightening, and lubricating them, they work okay be not great, as the zipper sometimes isn’t zipped after the slider is used. I have four new sliders, sent to me by Henry at Tarptent, but have decided to get a new tent instead of dealing with installing the new sliders. These sliders are meant for the inner tent; there are two more zippers in the fly for which I don’t have new sliders.
The tent is in great shape, other than one small hole in the fly that was patched with Tenacious Tape. No other tears or seam issues. The tent includes all the original parts, plus two extra stakes and a carbon fiber arch pole (the original aluminum pole is included but not in the photos). There is no crossing pole. It was seam-sealed when new and again about two years ago. It weighs about 37 oz with the carbon arch pole, 4 stakes, etc.

I’m 6’2″ and the tent works well for me. A little tight in headroom but it works. See Ryan’s review of the tent at https://backpackinglight.com/tarptent-moment-dw-review/ Note that my tent is an older version. Newer versions have internal storage pockets, among other minor features.
I was going to toss the tent before I got the new sliders, but then was sent the sliders. After doing a bit of research on slider replacement, I decided that after 11 years I could justify buying a new tent. So, I’m selling the tent for $40, shipping included, hoping someone else can get a few more years out of it. Here’s how to replace the sliders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlSqKFo1qJY
