Summary

Easy to use, reliable, no worries about this piece of equipment, ground sheet is not necessary.

Pros

Sets up in seconds
Plenty of room to store pack under the rain fly
Lots of airflow
Don't feel cramped inside
Room to hang clothes for drying

Cons

It's not the lightest tent on the market

I first used this tent in Denali and loved the fact that it was easy to pitch, stood up to wind and did not need a footprint. I've since taken it with me on several treks over VT's Long Trail and don't leave home without it, preferring to sleep in my tent vs shelters on the trail. It does add some weight to the pack, but I find it's worth it.

I've had it for 4 years now and it hardly shows any wear at all.
