This ultra light one-person tent is awesome! Its set-up is extremely simple and takes only minutes. I could go on forever about the durabilty of this product.

Example, on my most recent trip to the Sierras I camped with six friends who were wasted by the night's end and on the way back to their campsites four of them tripped over the the rain fly's guy lines and while my friends did face plants into the ground (one breaking his nose) the tent didn't flinch.

I cannot stand the condensation problem with bivy sacks and the excellent ventilation this tent provides solved it. I am about 5 ft 11 in tall and had just enough room to sit up and change clothes. The vestibule has enough room to keep my Gregory Acadia pack and boots dry on rainy nights. My hat's off to Sierra Designs for making such a superior product. If you are a solo backpacker/thru-hiker then this is the tent for you hands down!!!
