Mountain Hardwear Skyledge 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season
Spacious, but third-pole and vestibule design are poor

This is a nice tent - it's spacious and light.
The third pole is a poor design, however - it ripped through the fly fairly quickly. And the vestibule isn't a very good shape, in my opinion - making it pretty small. Finally, when it's windy, the tent just doesn't feel that solid - frankly I think they went a big bit for a standard two pole X design.
Overall, I'm kind of unimpressed, especially considering MH's usual excellence with tents.
