Good tent

Bought summer of 08 and took on 8-10 backpacking trips. Held up well in Alaskan summer/fall, hiked Kesugi Ridge with this on a rainy weekend and this tent kept me, my dog, and my gf all nice & dry. The weight of this thing vs. interior space is awesome.
7/31/11 - additional review...have had this tent in multiple expedition (7+ days) trips into Wrangell St Elias and its still held up fairly well. My 2 qualms - compared to more "technical" tents it doesnt pack down as nice. Secondly the fabric after a couple years seems prone to ripping & tearing...I carry a tent repair kit and expect a bit of wear & tear, but my rainfly at this point is just pattern of my patchwork. Still a good tent for the price/space & average use.
