Design: Sping, Fall, Winter 3 season (no summer or at leat south of Alaska)
Sleeps: 1
Ease of Setup: outstanding
Weight: The best

As you would expect a tent sanctioned by Mr. Viesturs is not going to let you down even in the highest winds or worst conditions (hey anchors are a personal issue mofo) but the single wall ventilation always makes me sleep light if snow is heavy. Don’t even think you can share this with a partner (even with minimal gear) unless extreme intimacy is not a problem (did I include my cell# here?!?). Set up was super fast but what do you expect from Mountain Hardwear and the incredible Mr. Viesturs. (This is not considered kissing up!!! Unless it helps in some way!)

Uses: Absolutely not a four but a three-season tent for sure as the summer is not a time you want to be in this boy. Promise!

Pros: Super light, super small. Good colors (hey this can be REAL important), fairly (hey I don’t need to name names but she would object as well if she could) good ventilation. Super easy set up. Ultra stable, lots of room for me and my six cousins (not!). Do design a few inches and make this the only tent to own. Oh, don't forget it gets hot in the summer.
