General Comments
The Ferrino Chaos 2 lite-weight tent shares many of the same design features of the popular, and expensive, MSR Hubba Hubba. The pole structure and usable interior space of the two models are almost identical. The most significant difference between the two tents comes down to material; polyester fly-sheet and taped-seam floor (Chaos) vs nylon fly-sheet and bathub floor (MSR). Overall, I'm quite pleased with the purchase. The tent's waterproofing and ventilation system functioned perfectly during initial tests in the Chatianshan rainforest.
