My girlfriend Ms. Webster had this tent as our home for 2 months of hiking. It was more than adequate for both of us an our small dog. Many nights we "half-flied" it to watch the stars and were able to get the fly up at the first sign of rain. I've used in many times since and still haven't had the opportunity to explore all of its versatility.
I highly recommend it!

Probably one of the best 3-season tents I have ever owned. I’ve used it several times now including twice in early spring on Emory Peak in Big Bend. It holds up great in rain and hard wind. I like the entire mesh top, opposed from the HP, because on nice nights you can view the stars without being bothered by insects.

Used for cycle touring in Australia and South America.
Pros: Lightweight; two doors; freestanding; fly very waterproof; generous headroom; can be pitched fly first; can be used without fly or without inner; nice pegs; non-drip vertical doors; plenty of room for 1 person + gear and adequate for 2 people (head to toe).

I bought this tent for 2 reasons:
#1 - I wanted a lighter tent for 3 season solo outings. At 3lbs 14oz this was a great improvement that still provided me with optimal room and storage space. I found this to be one of the best tent designs as far as utilizing internal space availability.

I used this tent for 10 days at Philmont Scout ranch in New Mexico on a backpacking trip. We had rain almost every day and hot days and cool nights. The ideal situation for testing out a tent.
It takes two people about 2-3 minutes to set it up.

Ok, I got this tent as a prodeal working at Uncle Dan's, so I didn't pay full price. I mostly do late spring, summer, early fall camping. Sometimes I lead canoe/kayak trips in the Midwest. Anything from the Lower Wisconsin River to the Apostle Islands to Boundary Waters.

For 3-season packing, this is a well-sewn lightweight tent, good enough for two and perfect for a solo hiker and all your gear.
At first, the pole system appears daunting, but even without the instructions, which were missing from mine, it was simple to figure out.

This tent is great! It is light, so it's amazing on backpacking trips and it is just as good at base camp!
It is big, so two 6.5 foot men can lay side by side. This tent is a must-have.

Okay it's orange. I know. Get past this and you discover that it's actually a very very nice piece of kit. It has a simple one pole design that fits into the inner to create the shape. It's nice and lightweight which makes it ideal for cycle touring or anyone who's looking to shave those grams out of a pack.

Ok, this is sort of a preview review. My first impressions. Easy set up. Set it up in the backyard and then put the hose to it for about 20 minutes. No leaking anywhere. Good interior space (at least compared to my Sierra Designs Clip Flashight).

I bought this tent a year ago, and my wife and I have put it through the ultimate test in that year. We used it in Australia, Africa, Europe, and South America; from sea level to 5,000 meters, deserts to rainforests. It's been set up well over 100 times.

Okay, so this is a great tent for your basic backpacking needs. It's light, and there is enough room for two 6-foot males in the tent. It's a little tight in the shoulder space, but it is 7 ft long.
All that said, the tent is not very sturdy in its pitch.
