Sleeps: 2

Weight: 6.5 pounds or so
Price Paid: $800+ usd
VERY expensive but a bombproof tent. I'm 6'3" and can easily fit another person and some gear inside. This is not a 3 person tent as advertised. There's no way 3 people could live in this tent without killing each other.
Excellent design. Even without guying this thing is totally rigid and rock solid. You can almost sit on the top. Steep walls make for efficient space usage. Fabric does suffer from minimal condensation in humid climates but that's not what this is for. Higher up there was NO condensation after many nights over 10,000 or so. Of course it's totally waterproof (even without seam-sealing the outside stitching).
Little velcro things inside have also been replaced with these nifty locking plastic tabs that are much easier to work with. All poles set up from the inside so even in high winds you can get it up.
If you can afford it... BUY IT.
