GoLite Shangri-La 2 Nest
Long and light

My favorite thing about this tent is that it is LONG.
I'm 6-2, not super tall, but tall enough so that I know what's it's like to hit your feet or your head on the tent walls. That is not an issue with this tent. It's the full 9.5 feet long. A huge plus in my opinion.
So far I've only used it by hanging it from a line strung between a tree and a treking pole. I have not used two poles inside option to stand it up.
It's light weight, very easy to pack/unpack. Stakes down and stands up nice and tall (while hung from above) without any issues. I used a tyvek 10x14 foot tarp to keep it dry. Plenty of room for me an my girlfriend.
I also used a tyvek sheet underneath as ground cover, but I doubt the floor really needs it.
Anyway , no complaints at all. It keeps the little black flys out just perfectly and there is lots of room to spare.
