This is a sweet tent. You can break apart the fly and the nest so each person can carry 3lbs. That's pretty sweet for all the room you get. And you can STAND UP to put on your pants, loads of headroom!

If you're a "couple" cuddling will be a challenge as the center support is exactly that - a center support. If you have the nest and tub floor - you can't use them at the same time. Its either one or the other. I made that mistake & thus ended up carrying additional weight for no apparent reason. Even though the nest is not waterproof - it is somewhat water resistant - bump it up with some Nikwax. Either way - its a sweet tent.

Shelter with stakes weighs 820 g, Nest weighs 1048 g, floor weighs 620 g , Pole weighs 430 g , Total: 2918 g/ 6.43 lbs. Floor attaches by six attachment points, seems to overlap enough to keep you covered. I don't own this tent and haven't used it but I thought I'd try to help you out. If anyone else has another opinion, do tell. Hope that helped.

Charles, I found one of the green ones on amazon for $180 but I think I got the last one. Search around the 'net, perhaps more are out there.
cheers, Chris

That's all it comes in.

This was confusing to me too. But after read more in depth on the Golite website, it appears that this is basically just a tarp. For the real 4 season tent capability, you also have to purchase the...Nest(http://www.backcountry.com/store/GOL0222/GoLite-Shangri-La-3-Nest.html) and the Floor(http://www.backcountry.com/store/GOL0223/GoLite-Shangri-La-3-Floor.html), ** The floor isn't necessary if you use the nest.for a total of $409.85. We all know 4 season tents aren't cheap, but you can find better priced ones that aren't so "complicated", not to mention who wants a stake right in the center of the tent?

You will have plenty of room if you leave the poll at home, and tie the top of the shelter to a tree branch or a rope that is attached to 2 different trees. That will allow you to sleep in the middle, which is plenty of room.

I have the 2 person emerald and the 2 person seedhouse and the last tent I got was this one and I love it! This is way easier to get in and out of than both the emerald and seedhouse, more room too. I use a hiking pole and the 3oz extension with 2 people, to get a third in you would have to ues a overhanging branch and rope. I got it when it first came out like a year ago and have not bought a tent since It did leak on me like a nobodies business. The seams are suppose to swell when wet sealing the seams, but mine didn't and I woke up in a puddle of water;( I called go-lite and they were willing to swap it out but I had seam sealed while I was on the trail. They wanted to see why it leaked. It leaked so bad I took pics. I sent them the pics and just kept the tent.( I would Test it in the yard with a water hose before heading out), But it is my most favorite tent to date. The top vent doesn't have a way to close it and in wind blown rain you will have to use a poncho or stuff sack to cover it. Now if you don't mind bending low into your tent and not being able to star gaze look at the OR night haven and floor. It is way better than the seedhouse 2. The vestibule on the seedhouse is so small it is almost non existent, so don't let the lack of one on the OR Night Haven deter you from buying it.. and if you want something with 2 good size vestibules and plenty of space for 2 people the Emerald is NOT for you. A little small for my liking. Now don't laugh, but I like the Eureka Pinnacle . It has good head room and plenty of floor space for 2 people and a 10 lb dog. Plus the vestibules are nice and big.As long as you don't mind the center pole, this is a comfortable & roomy tent.
