Summary

I highly recommend this tent for most all 3-season backpacking trips. It has proven very durable and I have no regrets after four years of use. IT looks as good today as when I first bought it. Numerous trips on the AT have made this tent earn its reputation!

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Packable
  • Durable

Cons

  • Tight fit for 2 adults

I have used this tent for three years now. The longest trek was an 11-day trip in the mountains of New Mexico at the Boy Scout Philmont Ranch. We hiked over 100 miles on this trek, and this tent worked wonderfully — as it always has. 

It pitches so easily. Even with high humidity, there was never a condesation issue. Headroom is limited, but the lightness of the tent compensated for this. Plus, with two people sharing, one person carried the poles and the other carried the tent/fly. Practically no weight at all for each and made it very packable.
