Zeus 1 Classic
Reviewed by Skrocki, Apr 16, 2007

"I love the weight-to-space ratio and the ease of setup on the Zeus. The inside of the tent was always dry during a rainy setup. Sometimes the condensation was heavy if I set it up and didn't take the time to stake it proper. The Zeus is my first choice if I am carrying all my own equipt. and sleeping single."
