BEST Ultralight 2 Person Tent in the world!

Usage-
Used in weather conditions ranging from +30 at +70 at night. Been through rain and on one occasion got hailed on (dime size hail).

Assessment- I am 6'2" and I weigh 170lb. This tent fits me both length and width with plenty of room to stow my pack and other things next to me. I can sit straight up and move around without any trouble in side the tent. The tent is incredibly light and when folded correctly it takes up a small amount of space in my pack. Held up well in the rain with NO condensation, and the hail didn't bother it either. Wonderful tent. Dead end pole sleeves work like a charm. I can fully set the tent up in about 3 minutes (fly and stakes too)

Pros-
1. light weight
2. roomy
3. fast setup -dead end pole sleeves make setup a snap

Cons-
1. not as much mesh as other tents- (I would like a better panorama)
2. no longer manufactured.
