Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Design: single pole
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: very simple on level ground, takes longer otherwise
Weight: around 3lb for the tent around 5.5lb with the nest
Price Paid: $300

Super piece of kit. I paid about $300, but that was with the Nest as well, a good deal. Rain just runs off it, condensation is not a problem, especialy if you use the nest to make it a two skin tent. The trekking pole idea is that you use your pole and a length of pole that comes with the tent to achieve height, you DO NOT just rely on the trekking pole. Even with the nest, it's light enough to backpack with, leave the nest and poles at home and you can string the tent off a branch giving you a super size bivvy. The tent sleeps two in comfort with kit.
