"The minimalist GoLite Shangri-La 4+ Shelter shields you and three pals from inclement weather, with enough room at your feet for all your gear. The simple square design and single-pole setup keep the Shangri-La 4+ safely in no-brainer territory, and you won't find a lighter tarp out there if GoLite has anything to say about it. Pair the Shangri-La 4+ Shelter with its matching footprint and Nest for a killer all-season component system."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Ultra-lite, expedition-ready, and simple to pitch, our Shangri-La 3 is a model of backcountry versatility. This 4-season teepee-style shelter sheds wind and weather brilliantly and can be used by itself, with the Shangri-La 3 Floor, or with the Shangri-La 3 Nest inner bug tent. You can pitch it with the micro-adjustable aluminum pole included, on snow, over a paddle or ski pole, or hang it from a branch via its top loop. Dual roof vents provide excellent air flow, reflective stake out loops keep you from tripping in the middle of the night and the hydrophilic thread at the seams expand when wet-sealing the seams and eliminating the need for liquid sealant."

"It's GARGANTUAN! I have the 4+ nest and the 6+ tarp, bought for foul weather conditions to provide ample living space. It far exceeds my expectations.

Easy to pitch, roomy, and strong (depending on the soil you stake to). I had this tent in rain going sideways with 40 mile an hour wind staked into dirt, for a night, not a drop inside."

"I bought the shangrila4+ because it has a very low weight. The central pole means you can stand up in the tent to change trousers etc.

I have recently tested it in a field full of campers at glasonbury festival in three hours of english down pour."
