This is the second tent I've owned by Sierra Designs (the first being their Comet CD). As always, Sierra Designs put out a great product that was definitely worth the extra cost (compared to some of the cheaper alternatives that aren't anywhere near as durable). I purchased this tent as a graduation present to myself (I got a degree in Parks, Recreation & Ecotourism, so I'm somewhat of an outdoor junkie; subsequently this seemed like a fitting gift for the occasion), and have been updating my gear from "car camping" equipment to ultralight backpacking gear for the past few months. This tent was exactly what I needed, as it was lightweight (not even 4 lbs!) and folded up quite small. It is easy to and quick to assemble, and the clip/snap technology to attach the poles and the rain fly is handy (and pretty cool too). The space is actually rather roomy, considering that I'm 6'1 and usually have a hard time finding appropriately sized gear, and can fit me and another camper snugly but comfortably. I'm looking forward to taking this out in the Catskills on a weekend backpacking trip to test it out further. The shipping was quick (came in 3 days) and arrived in perfect condition. I would continue buying Sierra Designs and would order from this seller again!

Pros: Light, durable, free-standing design, fast shipping.

Cons: None!

Happy hiking!

When it comes to hiking gear, I'm obsessed with smaller and lighter equipment. This tent is one of my favorites. It break down to just a few pounds, which makes for easy carrying. When you deploy it, it has room for two average-sized (5'10" 160 lbs) people.

The black screen is an extremely fine mesh; even the smallest insects would not be able to get in. The material at the bottom is thin but waterproof and durable.

I took this tent on a 3-day hike in early fall. It was comfortable and bug-free when deployed, and it was nice and light when it was in my pack. The tent hasn't shown a single sign of "wear and tear."
