From Backcountry.com:
"MSR Twin Peaks is a 3 season hybrid: part tent and part tarp. The MSR Twin Peaks offers the absolute maximum weight efficiency in a 2 person shelter. And weighing just 1.5 pounds, it is a minimalist's dream. Pitch it with virtually any poles you can dig up trekking poles, walking staffs, even paddle shafts. The Twin Peaks proves to be extraordinarily versatile as well. Pitch it up-and-airy for a maximum ventilation shade source. Or pitch it flush to the ground when storms are rolling in."

"I've owned and used this tent for several years and it is very spacious for two people and reasonably light. In winter with snow banked on edges, it performs great. Without snow, in wind, a sleeping bag cover or bivvy is very helpful and is generally to be recommended in floorless tent."

"This tarp is an improvment on the clasic Black Diamond Betamid. Better door design and more space. I took this tent on a spring trip in Pikes National Forest and it took 40mi+ winds and 1 1/2 inches of hail then rain in one night. It had enough space for three guys and a dog to play dominos durring the storm."

"Well, I was looking for a very lightweight shelter, not necessarily a tent and not necessarliy a tarp. Being in the army I also wanted a lightweight application and the color had to blend in with the woods and it had to be compact and easy to use.

The TwinPeaks met the citeria."
