"I already had a Kelty Gunnison 3. 1 and a Henessy Hammock, but I don't sleep well in a hammock and the Kelty was too heavy, so after a month or 2 of deliberation I settled on the Squall2.

I love the low weight of this tent when you look at the generous footprint, and it's nice and long, almost 7 feet."

"I love this tent. 35 ounces with 2 poles and stakes included! Held up great in a northern New Mexico high elevation thunderstorm.

Have used on 4 trips now. It has taken me a few tries to get the best set up for wind/rain conditions but totally manageable."
