The Hyperlight is the biggest two-man tent for backpacking at 43 sq ft. It is small when compared to the car camping tents, but is light enough to be carried far. The inside shape is a bit strange. I wish it were more square inside for more room. That would add weight though. The vestibule is large enough for my 4100 cc pack and boots. The first time I used the tent it rained for two hours. I stayed dry and so did my boots in the vestibule. With the complete coverage rainfly, it should stay dry even in thunderstorms.
