| best for.. | ultralight hiking in warm or cool areas | cool to cold conditions as minimal mesh ventilation | alpine hiking; very spacious all purpose tent although there are lighter options for most hiking needs; | tall people; 1-2 adults hiking; unprotected sites eg.

| door size | large doors | 130cm base x 83cm high | ||
| dual layer door | NO, 2/3rds nylon, upper 1/3rd mesh | NO, fabric only except small mesh at top | full rolls up to upper/rear of tent | full, rolls up to centre of tent |
| door position | triangular base at end | curved triangular starts at non-wind end | central triangular base at bottom | central D doors |
| door rain protection with fly open | OK if pegged out | OK if pegged out? | seems good but only if pegged out, less protection if folded fully back | very good as deep vestibule overhang |
| ridge pole | upward concave to give extra height to doors | standard | std convex | convex to ground |
| ability to open wind end vestibule | yes, entire fly can be opened at each end and left attached in middle for fast closure if rain comes | yes | yes also has part way pegging options - half way at foot end on left and half way at head end on right, while 1/3rd the way on left head end and 1/3rd the way on right foot end; this allows for best vision out on left side with best wind chill protection to upper body on right side irrespective of which end is head end; | no, unless remove ridge pole and use guy ropes |
| fully nylon sealed inner dust proof mode | NO | No small mesh top each door | yes | yes |
| zippable open inner vents | only upper part doors? | No | doors and ceiling vents - all dual nylon/mesh | only doors |
| can set up without fly | yes and can also have fly attached in middle and ready to apply | yes | yes | yes but more difficult and need guy ropes |
| can set up with fly only | yes and can be used as Hangout sun shade mode with trekking poles to elevate one end | no | ?possibly with footprint | yes, easy |
| extra features | Hangout mode; fly can stay on in middle only; pack comes in 3 parts for sharing and also doubles as tent pockets and diffused holder for ceiling lamps; | use as a bird hide; has most waterproof floor and the strongest poles which double cross; gear loft; 3 ceiling carabiners; asymmetric door zipping and vestibule pegging options so left side of head gives max. vision while right side gives maximum windchill protection to upper body when fabric on each of the doors is half unzipped irrespective of which end you have your head so if wind direction changes 180deg during the night you can just swap head position without need to rotate the tent; | extra height for tall people; large doors; hybrid tunnel design with ridge pole to ground; gear loft; tiny storage pocket; floor may not be waterproof enough | |
| potential cons | may not be as stormproof or durable; much less spacious inside; | NOT for warm conditions as no vents apart from small door mesh; not a lot of vestibule rain protection when open; only one ceiling carabiner, no gear loft; tiny storage pocket; floor may not be waterproof enough | a little heavy for everyday hiking; plastic clips might be an issue if stepped on; 2nd pole needs to feed through the plastic clips on 1st pole so need to pitch at home first to understand this; | heaviest and most expensive of the 4; poles need to feed through tunnels of the fly thus can't be used without the fly; |
| other versions | mesh version: $AU849 | NB. 2020 version only has 15D nylon inner; 2021 version has 20D; | Extreme version has UV protected silnylon fly but gets saggy and takes longer to dry when wet; Orion III is a 3P version; | |
| GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!!! | Compared to full nylon Mont Moondance II, the Dragonfly is 10cm wider, stronger pole layout with shorter poles, larger vestibules with additional peg out options, 30D fly instead of 20D, 70D floor instead of 40D, more storm-proof, door are full dual mesh/nylon not just the upper half for greater ventilation options and is thus 560g heavier |
other 2P full fabric tents
single wall tents for use inside larger shelters

- not waterproof - don't use in anything more than light showers unless you have it in a larger shelter or under a tarp
- too short which makes it problematic with tall people or stretcher beds;
- annoying 5 and 6mm fibreglass poles need to be passed through sleeves and can catch on the ferrules.
- probably not windproof - the poles are liable to break as they are only 5mm and 6mm but the sleeves may help to protect them
- does not seem to have vestibules
