Light, fast easy to pitch and boomproof.
This is a great 4 season, three to four person tent. On its maiden trip it saw 10-12 inches of wet snow and shrugged it off with no trouble. Has a nice little window to peak on progress of a winter snow storm. Condensation is tolerable and space is a bit cramped for four average sized people and gear. With no vestibule it’s hard to house larger size packs with multiple people and has one vent that works pretty well but two would help the condensation. One gripe I have with it is that it doesn’t have a mesh door. It would be nice to be able to vent with an open door and not let the bugs in. There’s an optional Bug Nest but if you’re counting ounces its not your best move. This is an all around great tent for the price and packed weight
