Design: single pole teepee
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: a hassle epecially 1st few times
Weight: weight with pole and stakes 3.2 lbs
Price Paid: $159 US

Very light for the room inside. Works much better with the pole than using the trekking pole extention. We got caught in a wet snow dump two Octobers ago and it held up well.

The weakness of this tent is condensation. The morning or the snowstorm we were rained upon inside the tent if you're in conditions that you have to close the door, the top ventilation is totally ineffective in venting moisture.

The tent will keep you protected though, and there's enough room for two to easily avoid touching the sides. Takes a while to set up properly, seems like you're re-setting the stakes for a tight set-up.
