From REI:
"A lightweight method to tie doors up and out of the way, DryTies are glove-friendly and easy to use. Adjustable stake loops have ladderloc buckle tensioner that is backed up by a second webbing loop. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. DAC Featherlight aluminum poles are 26% stronger and 16% lighter than other aluminum poles. Dry Guys, water-repellent zippers and zipper pulls are reflective for easy tent location at night. DryGuy guy-out system won't wick, freeze or hold water, plus it's glove-friendly and reflective so you can find tent at night. Equal-length poles and continuous poles sleeves provide easy set-up and a strong structure. Ingenious Adjustable Door Vent System allows maximum ventilation and protection, even in a downpour. MSR uses non-wicking materials throughout; these prevent water weight gain during your trip and won't transport water into the tent. Patented ZipGate lets you replace zipper slider in the field. Polyester rainfly and MicroMesh offer maximum UV-resistance, durability and tautness to keep you dry. Polyurethane-coated polyester rainfly and nylon bathtub floor provide excellent waterproofness and durability. Rainfly doors feature zipper flaps and noiseless, water-repellent zippers to keep water out. Removable gear loft, interior pockets, stow-away door pockets and utility loops keep your house organized and gear accessible. Shaped-by-nature geometry: poles double cross and attach on same side providing lots of headroom and increased usable floor space. This unique 3-season tent features 2 doors and 2 vestibules--one vestibule is big enough to hold 2 bikes, extra gear or your furry four-legged pal."

"Wow. This tent changed my whole idea of camping. If you carry an extra tooth brush, just in case one breaks this might be the tent for you.

I have a Moss Hooped Outland (Now MSR Sitadel). I purchased this Moss four years ago and have seriously used it once."
