Hilight next to Stoic Arx
By James Jenden
Ranked #7 - 3-Season Tents
June 24, 2011
These are both supposedly two man tents, but the Stoic has about twice as much total area as the Hilight. It's really a one-man tent unless you're alpine climbing or something.

I'd say the HiLight is more of a 1.5 person tent, meaning it's not really big enough for two unless you're willing to leave all gear outside but bags and matts. Even then, you'd better be really small and/or like each other a lot. It's a great solo shelter, though.
