For those saying that it's not sturdy in high winds, learn to stake out a tent."

Ultra lightweight shelter best suited for solo use, but fits two in a pinch. I've had this for four years now and I still cannot find a lighter two-person tent.
Compromises -- no sealable door on the tent body (the fly has to do the job in foul weather, not really bomb-proof),
VERY cramped for two -- all seem acceptable when you consider the low poundage for a decent tent."

Even though it's the lightest, you need one per hiker, so if you're with a partner, carry a true two-man tent."

I've had this tent for several years. It's been to Alaska, Texas, Pennsylvania, the Smokies, all over in the western US. Never a problem."

The drawbacks are: Not too much room (you can't really sit up in it even when alone.
If you pitch it up every night and take it down again the nexxt morning, setup becomes rather bothersome."

- Watertight and wind resistant
- Best used as a roomy solo shelter
- A great tent for long distance hikes or bicycle tours
- Mine survived a foot of snow during a winter storm in '95"

Small vestible, it has small storage space and it does not come down far enough all around the tent. When it rains real hard water runs off the rain fly onto the lower main body of the tent also causes water run-off to splash mud on the body of the tent."

Light weight, packs small, 2 people can sleep in it, wind stable, cool hanger for a candle lantern.
The BAD:
Fly provides little storage space, also the fly doesn't leak but it does not come down far enough to keep water from dripping on the corner of the tents and hard rain from splashing mud up on the body of the tent."
