I debated between this tent and another brand (Sierra D) for some time before choosing my first backpacking tent. For less money, the Walrus gave me factory taped seams in the floor and fly, better ventilation, and more usable space inside. The Starstreme also has a larger vestibule that is pole supported. The SD tents are definitely quicker to set up, but for an extra few minutes I've found that the other features that have been mentioned are more important on a long rainy night out on the trail.
I have had the Starstrean XV for about five years.

I have had the Starstrean XV for about five years. The quality is very good and it is not difficult to set up. One nice feature is the see-through mesh in the ceiling so you can see the stars. The only downside to this is a little less privacy and the ruckus caused when your dog spots a ground squirrel at 3 in the morning.

Review: Black Diamond ATC
This style of belay devices is named after this product. It's the Q-tip of climbing. I think my ATC came with a big belay locking carabiner back when I bought it. Read More »

Low profile, alpine climbing pack. I bought this pack on closeout at Sierra Trading Post and after using it for a month, I was sad I hadn't picked up a second. Read More »
