This is the perfect, light-weight backpacking tent for those who care about weight and performance. This tent is not cheap, but it's not overpriced. It has every small detail you could hope for...and the weight and foot print are perfect for 2 or 3 folks. I know this tent won the 2006 Backpacker's Magazine Editor's Choice Award. By the way, this is a my favorite magazine.

My favorite things about the tent: 1) The weight. It's as light as i could wish (under 7 lbs). 2) two entrances are great. they include a "no-drip" entry which really keeps folks dry inside. Lastly,...i also have used the tarp on its own. This is my favorite tent out there. May not buy another tent for 5 years.

MSR did great with this tent. It is pretty daggum big for a backpacking tent, but it packs small and weighs around 7 pounds. not at all bad for a 3 man 3 season tent. This tent has tons of room and great little attention to detail. Quick to set up and you can do it yourself.

There is One thing i dont really like about it. It might possibly be MY tent and not others but i dont think so. That is that the vestibule of the rainfly doesnt get as taught as i would like it too. It is somewhat loose or limp. it doesnt really do much harm but it would be nice to have it nice and tight so that it allows more room for stuff.

The mesh snags easily on things too so be careful. there ended up being a tiny little hole (the size of a quarter) from me snagging it on something. Also a bear got a hold of it in CO leaving a large hole in the vestibule and tent mesh. But it was all easily fixed by seamgrip and seam tape.

Great tent, a little on the pricey side but i guarantee you will be glad you bought it!

i give it 5/5 cause i wont buy another tent for years
