Although it is pricey, it could very well be the last tent you purchase if you are in the market for a roomy one person or small two man tent (the Eldorado model is a larger version of the I-Tent). I would suggest you order it with 2 doors if you hike in a potentially wet and humid areas like the northeast (Adirondacks). It eliminates any ventilation problems for just a few more ounces of weight. The I-Tent is a bombproof mountain shelter, however, the light weight, ease of set up, waterproofness and cheerful color suites my backpacking needs very well.
