Design: 3 season (4?) hoop tent
Sleeps: 2
Ease of Setup: 5 of 5
Weight: 3lb 4 oz complete
Price Paid: $250

This is a very rare single walled version of the Flashlight. I have used it in winter, but don't recommend it if you expect heavy snow -- light snow is OK, like summer in the Sierras.

There can be condensation but a camp towel easily wipes it off. OK in a rain. Quickest tent I have to set up, bug proof and vents pretty well. 51 ounces complete with stakes makes it my 3 season tent of choice. Two hoop poles with clips, no fly to put on means it doesn't get wet inside while you are setting it up in a rain. Vestibule small, but OK for boots and keeps tent dry. I prefer single walled tents always.

LOVE IT! Doesn't meet California fire proof rules.
