From REI:
"Ultralight family camping? Believe it! The Sierra Designs Lightning XT 4 tent offers enormous interior space for a family of 4 while saving precious weight. Offers a unique tunnel dome design: like a tunnel, it's big on the inside and livable as all get out, and like a dome, it's freestanding and easy to pitch. Large D-shaped mesh doors and steep mesh walls provide great ventilation and views outside; each vestibule protects gear and provides protected entrances. Lightweight and strong DAC® pole system with press-fit connectors and lightweight hubs uses an anodization process without harsh acids. Hub/pole design reduces the possibility of pitching errors and aids in the speed of the pitch. Ultralight Clips™ and color-coded main door and fly keep setup simple and quick. DAC Jake's Feet™ at tent corners offer a secure connection and allow easy attachment of poles, rainfly and footprint (sold separately); release them with a quick twist. SuperSeal Floor™ combines the benefits of catenary and bathtub floors; raised PVC-free side seams are taped for complete waterproofness. Includes stuff sacks, stakes and guyline. Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only. Praising the Sierra Designs Lightning XT 4 tent, Backpacker April ’09 declares, “Four is not a crowd in the family-size featherweight!”."
