"So I am an avid backpacker and have really enjoyed going lightweight, i. e. a nice bivy sack or just bug netting. However, my friends don't seem to enjoy the same level of excitement. So when I purchased this tent last summer, I kept thinking it would be a great tent for two, but fully functional for three."

"Great tent but like many three person tent it's just an oversized regular two-person tent. The reason I say that is because even though the floor plan may be large the walls slope down considerably, not giving you much room for three people unless you guys are playing cards."

"I think that I'm in love. . . Good weather? Take a SL3! It's a bug screen with a fly. What more do you need? Maybe it's a little small for 3 dudes but for a couple of people it's perfect. Not raining?- 360 deg. views w/o bugs. If it's raining - fly is tight and all condensation goes to fly through screen."
