I’ve been fortunate to spend some time now in my Aeon. I definately have some issues.
1. Are they all made the same? I read where someone 6′ tall on a 2.5 inch mattress had enough room. I’m 5’9″ and sleep in a 6′ sleeping bag on a 3″ mat. My foot end of the bag touches one end of the tent when I only have about an inch of space above my head. I barely fit in this tent. First time ever for my size. My foot of the sleeping bag is always damp. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone over 5’9″.
2. The magnetic straps that hold up the fly and net are to long. It doesn’t hold very well. It allows the material to roll/slip out.
3. You have to be a contortionist to connect the clip at the base of the rainfly. I prefer a zipper.
4. I don’t know how to describe the next failure. It has to do with the two triangular struts with vents. There’s a strap that is fed through a round grommet. That freefloating strap needs to be non-freefloating, so a method can be designed to tighten it, pulling the walls tighter.
For me the length is the biggest negative.
