Some one man tents resemble survival bags with poles, when it rains the wet tent fabric moulds itself around your body resembling a cagoule pegged down to the ground. This tent appears to have overcome this issue and it would be comfortable inside in the rain.
Olpro have opted to put the single flexible pole at about chest level (when you lie down). This means that the tent fabric will not be directly in your face as you lie there, you can put a pack under your shoulders light a lamp and read before going to sleep, this is important should you be stuck in the tent on a long wet day.
Imagine arriving at the campsite in long trousers, you put up the tent and want to go swimming, your mission should you chose to accept it is to change into swimming trunks inside the tent. I think in this tent it would be possible but could be a struggle.
The problem with any one man tent is where to stick your kit, if you only have the one set of clothes that you are standing up in (with warm jacket and waterproofs packed) and you plan to have bread and jam for breakfast pie and crisps for lunch and dinner in the pub you can minimise your kit and fit inside the tent, but you'll be limiting yourself to a long weekend.
For a longer camp, touring and visiting public campsites (where you can't just leave kit outside the tent) I feel that you really need a 2 man tent.
The single flexible pole is apparently aluminium, this suggests quality over economy and I trust the rest of the tent is made to the same standard.
I would be quite happy to try this tent for a weekend camp, there's nothing obviously "wrong" with it but personally for 2 weeks hiking or cycling I'd prefer something a little bigger (2 man tent) with more kit space. If arriving by car I use a 3 man tent.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.
