Here you go @BigMF
I've had the Odyssey 55 Tri-Layer for about 6 months now, Sept '20, spending at least 2-3 nights in each of those 6 months. (gotta love SoCal winters) I have noted the same issues as @Upnarms
Fading of whatever coating FSR used on the perimeter aluminum frame, wonky ladder attachment, and misalignment of front & rear latches (although not as severe). These are all problems you don't expect to see with a tent at this price point, borderline unacceptable. The Velcro tabs used to hold the door and screen up could be improved as both layers share the same tabs. I'd prefer to see an individual toggle & loop set up like on all my previous tents, just easier to operate. The LED light strip is cool, but would be better if they included an in-line switch of some type rather than having to unplug the USB from your power bank to turn it off. And here is a weird thing, the frame has no floor! Not a solid one anyway. The mattress is simply supported by quite a few closely spaced aluminum cross members. You don't feel it when laying down, but when sitting up, you definitely notice the ridges & valleys on your bum. I wouldn't quite call it a negative, but it's just weird.
With all of that said, I love this thing. The Tri-Layer fabric really adds some insulating properties in both warm & cool weather and does an admirable job of keeping that early morning sun out if you care to stay in bed a bit longer. Setup & tear down is a breeze, especially compared to my previous soft shells and the low-pro stance is perfect. All the zippers work great and I don't mind the undoubtedly firm mattress. The fabric is taut when set up and I've had no problems with water intrusion in the few brief rains I've experienced. I moved up to the hard shell and the Odyssey specifically for the capability of the cargo rack which I use to haul my Port-a-boat. Overall there are several things that could be improved, but a very solid tent nonetheless.
