Can this tent be set up without the tent? That is to say, with just the poles and rain fly? I'm looking at the options: either setting up the fly first in a downpour, so I don't get the mesh and inside of the tent wet, or skipping the main body and traveling light with the just the fly and poles (and maybe a footprint)/

dan, you can and it is actually pretty easy to do. you still have to steak out the footprint. its easy with 2people, manageable with 1. did it last night in the rain and nearing sunset.

Yes, the tent can be set up using just the rainfly, poles and the footprint. So it would work great as a superlight option or for trying to minimize things getting wet during a downpour. One thing of note, the footprint is sold separately from the tent and can be found here: http://www.backcountry.com/mountain-hardwear-lightpath-3-footprint-pl
