Well, I'm stuck in Hawaii on a work assignment for longer than I wanted and friends wanted to go camping. All of my gear was 6 time zones away, so I headed to Sports Authority to see how horrible the selections were. I was shocked to see the MH Light Wedge series there, and after checking here, I figured it was worth the shot. Somehow, they mistagged the tent and I snagged it for 160 when it should have been 240.

We used the tent for 2 people camping at the beach and it held up very very well to the strong Hawaiian winds. The construction seems very solid and I love having all the huge windows, allowed for great views at night looking up, and the ventilation was to die for.

The vestibule is a nice added feature - I can't say anything negative about it.... having all the pockets was very nice, and the "gear loft" (if you want to call it that) was useful.

The only negative: count your tent pegs! I was shorted 3 of them (probably why I got it so cheap), and make sure to put your tent together before you use it first and play around with everything.
