"The most versatile tent we make. Our award-winning trekker tarp has been redesigned to be lighter, roomier, and even more versatile. Combine it with the mesh trekker and you've got our trekker tent, offering complete weather and insect protection as well as unmatched versatility.Features: Superlight - weighs just 4 pounds; leave the at home for additional weight savings and sleep up to 3 people plus gear for just 2 pounds. Spacious - 66 sq. ft. of covered area and two vestibules provide ample interior space and great headroom. Versatile - 30 different setup configurations and 3 zippered entryways let you customize your shelter for a variety of conditions. Easy setup - set up with or without trekking poles; multipurpose guy cords with easy hook release make setup simple and increase stability. No-drip entry - rainfly/door won't drip inside tent, so doors can be opened for additional venting options in light weather. Proven - winner of backpacker magazine's"

From REI:
"Redesigned for 2004 to be lighter, roomier and easier to use, the Trekker Tent now includes the mesh Trekker Insert. Trekker fly can be used alone; Trekker Insert can be used alone; or they can be used together. Two zipper entries with vestibules (in fly) provide convenient entry and plenty of gear storage. Insert is an all-mesh body with waterproof nylon floor and three zippered entries. Can be set up using your own trekking poles, guylines or a combination of both. Multi-purpose guylines with tensioners and easy hook release makes setup simple and adds extra stability to the structure. Almost endless pitching configurations are possible. Ultralight ripstop nylon fabric reduces weight and is polyurethane- and silicone-coated for durability and added resistance to damaging UV rays. Features taped seams, reinforced stress points, ultralight stake loops, reflective guylines and user-friendly door toggles. Includes stuff sack, nine Needle stakes, four multi-purpose guylines and sewn-in set-up instructions and general tent instruction booklet."

"I bought this tent for two reasons, I wanted an ultralight tent for backcountry hunting and fishing trips in VA alone or with one other. Also I enjoy taking my two kids, aged 5 and 7, on short weekend trips. So I was looking for the biggest ultralight tent I could find."

"For under 2kg this tent is so roomy yet so light that I use it instead of my bivvy bag when hiking alone. It's especially good for extended hikes where you begin to appreciate the space at night, and for bad weather. (You can drag your pack into the tent with you and hang your wet clothes from the poles under the vestibule."

"I also own several other hybrid tarps and tents [both models of Twin Peaks, Betamid with Beta Bug, Missing Link, etc. ], but this is the one I chose for a section hike in early spring on the Appalachian Trail and it met every requirement!

It's very much like a high-tech pup tent and MSR improved the bug insert/tarp interface this year, so there is more space and less chance for bugs to bite you because your arm or foot is resting on the netting (a drawback with the earlier Trekker Tarp with Insert, but overcome with a ring on the underside of the tarp and a button on the net to hold the two together and away from the camper)."
