This is the best backpacking tent made. It really turned heads when I bought it (in 1991) and it still does. It is incredibly easy to set up, it's usually the first tent up in camp. Also, while it is not freestading, two extra stakes and 15 seconds is well worth the weight. I don't understand why anyone would buy another backpacking tent.

If you do buy an old one, try to buy a Clip Flashlight, I almost bought a sleeve flashlight 1990 model I think, and it is slower to set up, and the vestibule is really tiny. The newer designs have improved the one that I have.
