So yea, this is an amazing tent. It is super lightweight. I take my dog backpacking all the time and this tent is perfect for me, all my gear, and him. I don't think I'd use it as a two-man if you are doing to be hauling gear, but could work in a car camping scenario.

The tent is incredibly strong, sets up in less than 5 minutes, and the design of it allows you to sit in the middle of some of the harshest weather conditions and be just great. I've gotten snowed on, hailed on, rained on, and been in constant 60mph winds, and this tent held up like Fort Knox. Despite the actual tent structure being almost entirely mesh, the rain-fly was so superbly designed that no wind gets through to the Rock 22 inhabitants.

Really just a great product, and one of the many reason North Face has the clout in the adventure world that it does.

5 stars, highly recommend.
