I've had a tadpole for 13 years and it still rocks. It's kind of small for two, but that's what I'm looking for. It's light and compact in packing so easy to carry, and set-up is simple....even in the rain. The NF materials are bomber too, even after all these years, it still doesn't leak. Sweet tent!

me, too! right now i am not sure whether to send back the rain fly; it is impossible to fit it perfectly... is the second rain fly better than the first one?

Mike, I've had the same expeience. TNF replaced my old rain fly with a new one for free :-) Other than that, my Tadpole has performed amazingly well for over 6 years in every extreme condition (except heavy snow).

how is your rain fly? I bought a tadpole 23 and the rain fly gets sticky and is cracking all over
