Rating:
Design: 4 season single wall
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: Fairly easy, internal poles
Weight: 6 lbs w/vestibule
Price Paid: $600

I picked this tent up on my AT thru hike.

The tent performed very well. I was nervous about using a single wall in the summer, but condensation was no problem.

The tent is similar to a Bibler Eldorado, but includes the removable vestibule and has a rear window.

This is a great tent from a manufacturer that builds bomber gear.

Don't believe Backpacker's so-so rating of this product. Testing tents in a backyard with a sprinkler setup is, in my opinion, a poor testing method.
