Baked in a Timberline 4XT in July 2005 trip to DC and wanted a better breathing lightweight tent for summer use (summer camp with scouts; backpacking trips, canoe trips). This tent suits the bill with large areas of mesh, twin doors, twin vestibules. Best value ($20 rebate through 7/31/06). Quick setup that my 13-year-old mastered easily. I am concerned about corner pocket durability in two corners that may tear through. Have not field tested yet.
