"This is an excellent combination of comfort and weight. To start this tent is easy to set up and has 2 large doors on each side. I found this tent to have exactly the right amount of mesh. Plenty for stargazing and not so much that it doesn't keep cold wind out."

"I have used this tent in the summer on campsites and at the other extreme I have slept on a glacier in it. It is a comfy tent with plenty of room for two people. In the summer it is quite cool thanks to the mesh upper of the inner fly however condensation can be a problem on the outer fly if you have to keep the outer doors closed in the summer."

"Took this tent up a few miles of the Lost Coast Trail in Northern California.

PROS: Set up and take down was a breeze! Rolled up, it was extremely compact and lightweight. It comfortably slept two people. During a morning downpour, everything inside stayed bone dry."
