Design: tarp
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: simple
Weight: 1.75 lbs

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. It is very spacious for two sleeping. If there is no wind there can be some condensation, but you can crack the top of the door to help. It is so big that your sleeping bag does not touch the sides where it can be damp. You can't go wrong for a 45sqft shelter under 2lbs.
