The most awesome tent I've ever used! In an unforeseen storm the tent held up to one of the biggest poundings by the weather I have ever experienced. As some one else has already said, there is a shortage of pegs. During my night out I managed to sleep 3 people in it, because the storm had destroyed my friends "Gelert" tents, one of the poles was bent a little by the massive winds, but Mountain Hardwear's lifetime warranty means I'm getting it replaced for free, no questions asked.

A very lightweight tent, awesome for long treks and mountaineering. The groundsheet is waterproof all the way, as proven by myself, because I woke up in the morning, and the tent was pretty much in a lake. I was dry, but my gear in the vestibule wasn't so fortunate. I would recommend that you buy a footprint for the tent because the water underneath the groundsheet does make the floor a little damp, but with a good camping mat and a good sleeping bag, it shouldn't be too much of a worry. On the whole an awesome tent!
