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."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The single-wall Black Diamond Guiding Light is their largest Superlight tent. It uses an internal five-pole architecture to create a luxurious four-person base camp-style tent with full-size doors on each end. For fresh air in nice weather, both doors have a full mesh panel, and for even more space, each door can be fitted with an optional vestibule (sold separately). The Guiding Light canopy is made from Epic fabric, which provides both water repellency and breathability and the floor is built with double silicone coated nylon ripstop for tear resistance and durability.

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