Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Guiding Light is the biggest tent in Black Diamond's Superlight line and an excellent choice for lightweight 3-season camping with a group of four. Its very breathable and highly water resistant EPIC canopy combines with a SilNylon floor to bring you this roomy tent for a weight of only 5lb 6oz. The Guiding Light tent packs down to 7 x 12in, and sets up in less than a minutes thanks to its single-wall design. Instead of sliding the poles through sleeves or clipping them into mini carabiners, they just set up inside this Black Diamond tent. In extremely bad weather, crawl in and set it up from the inside."

Reviewed by Carleurope, Aug 02, 2007

"The tent it's really well built and once set up it's tight. It's roomy for 3 and probably tight for four although I have not yet used it with 4 people. It's super light for a 4 person tent and it packs really small. I am very happy in general.

The only big issue that I have with it is the condensation problem."
