User Review: Black Diamond Lighthouse

Black Diamond Lighthouse
Above: The current Lighthouse, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: Freestanding Single-wall Epic
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: very easy; the interior poles protect you in the worst weather
Weight: ~3lbs
Price Paid: ~$375

I think this is the best single-wall lightweight tent on the market. Condensation is kept to a minimum due to the Epic material and the venting design. I too wish I didn't have to seam seal it, but I did and I got to know my tent pretty well doing so. I'm a big guy and the tent is a great size. I bought the vestibule but have not used it yet. I always seem to leave it behind in favor of the lower weight.
