I'ts cool to see something innovative come to market that is strong in both form and function.
Function: Last year I took this tent to misty/rainy eastern Europe and then to the high altitute/arid Tibetan plateau...performed in both environments perfectly..i'd take this tent for just about anything besides a full on winter himalayan expedition
Form: The roomy overhead space has helped me with my lingering claustrophobia induced by hanging portaledge bivies!
