Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $120

Summary

I used this tent on several trips this last summer. I found it roomy and comfortable for two of us. Weight of the tent was great when split. It rained 2 times once very hard for the whole backpack we stayed very dry.

Pros

  • Design — layout (space) and set up is great
  • Kept us dry in the heavy rain
  • Fast and easy setup

Cons

  • There are lighter tents out there

I think if you're looking for a great two-man backpacking tent with plenty of room and for a reasonable price this tent is the one for you. No problems with the wind or rain, no leaks or wet spots on floors or walls — well ventilated with large amounts of mesh. Poles are simple and the colored hooks make it easy for fast setup when you need to.  

Note there are a lot of tents on the market that do weigh less, but few that can compare with the price.
