By Ranked #1183 - 3-Season Tents September 21, 2009

This is a great tent. If your not an ultralighter and want a good 3 season tent this should be your choice. Its a single wall but if you open the venting by the head and the small upper vent by the foot (thats how I lay in there) its decent. You will get a bit of condensation but for the price this is a great tent. The vestibule swallowed my boots and Gregory Z55 with ease and had room to spare.

One thing to note: the cool feature of the overhead vent system only opens near the vestibule. There is no opening on the opposite side, this I feel is a little misleading. It sounds as though the tent vents across the entire roof with openings on both ends but alas there is just one vent by the vestibule. Its not a negative but something that should be noted. If you cannot open the large screen on the opposite end of the vestibule the roof vent really provides no ventalation what so ever. And this of course leads to condensation.

All said and done this is a good tent for the money. A great single wall that packs small and is light enough to be worthwhile!
