Roomy tent for two. The vestibule is great. A pain to set up at first. Highly recommend a paw and foot print for this tent ( or any tent for that matter ). This tent holds up very well in strong wind and rain. Ventilation is very good in keeping the moisture down to a minimal. Packs well horizontally in my Deuter Futura Vario 50 + 10 backpack.

The description on this product page is very thorough, so I will only highlight a few things. The construction of this product is of very high quality. It is pricey, but this time I think you get what you pay for. I read lots of reviews of tents on other websites and this one always got high marks. I bought it to take on a 2 and a half week motorcycle camping trip across the western US. The selling points were lightweight (since I also take it hiking) and compact. I really liked the single wall design that did not require a rain cover.

It is very roomy inside, enough for two people plus gear IF you do not use the vestibule. The vestibule floor space is at the expense of interior space. What I like to do is leave the vestibule attached on one side and not the other, so I have a sort of triangle vestibule for my shoes, etc and still have almost 9 feet on the other side (since I am over 6 feet tall). It is very quick to put together; pumping the air beams taking the most time. It took me about the same time to put mine together as it took my friend to put together his 2 man REI tent with rain fly.

I still cannot figure out how to attach the guy lines (the pictures do not match the instructions). However, even in wind and rain, the stakes held very well. I read reviews of people who used the guylines in snow and very high wind and said it was "bombproof". In my experiences, the stakes were enough and I never had a problem.

I have used it from Estes Park in the Rocky Mountains to just outside Death Valley, and it works great in both climates.

The single wall really does work. There are good vents in the sides and back that allow air flow to keep condensation out. And the spare air beams are small enough that you can always keep them with you. I have had the tent now for about a year and am very please. It is still in very good condition (I store it out of the back at home). I got the pawprint and footprint and highly recommend them both as well.

This is a real cool and interesting tent. Light weight and easy to set up. Seems pretty warm although I haven't been able to use it in cooler climates as of yet. That jury will still be out. Seems too much ventilation for a 3 season tent, but the room in this tent is awesome!
