Reviewed February 11, 1997 by martinic@...

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Design: 4 Season Expedition Dome
Sleeps: 3
Ease of Setup: Simple - All poles same length, Lots of clips and velcro
Weight: 4500 g, ~12 lbs (Complete)
Price Paid: ~$600 US

* 5 Easton T9 tempered aluminum poles, all the same length except for vestibule pole. Two vestbules - front is hooped.

* 62 sq. feet floor space plus two 14 sq. ft. vestibules.

* Gear loft and fitted nylon groundsheet w. attachments avaiable.

* This is a BIG tent and easily hold three people with gear.

* Not for weak solo hikers! Best for two to share the load.

* Serious kit. Holds up in difficult weather. Internal bracing system.

* Excellent ventilation with two door and zip ceiling panels.

* LOTS of pockets and storage (tent sack becomes a ceiling pocket)

* Ripstop nylon material. Includes full repair kit with pole splint.

Personally, I do a lot of solo hiking and can't justify the extra weight. I'm currently considering selling or upgrading.

Word to the wise: Consider your needs carefully. This is a great tent, but doesn't match my particular needs.
