Hi - I actually have one of these babies and it is a breeze to use, and in fact, when they say 15s to pack it up, it really is about 15s (after you've practiced a couple of times). The joy in arriving at a campsite and being pitched in a couple of seconds whilst your friends are busy unpacking poles, pegs, ropes, and then struggling to put them all in the right places is only bettered by the fact that you can break camp in a matter of seconds whilst they then struggle to stuff everything back into the packs they came in! A joy to use. But, as you say, wholly impractical for hiking - it folds into a circular package, which handily comes with rucksack style straps. However, this means you can't carry anything else, and if there is more than a stiff breeze you're also likely to end up flying to the campsite! All in all though, a very versatile tent (oh, and very spacious for a 2 man aswell!).
