I was a sleeping-under-the-stars sort of person but wanted to get a tent for bug protection. I love this one because if you use it without the rain fly you feel like you're really outside. It's super lightweight, packs down smaller than other tents I've seen, is a snap to assemble, and has a couple pockets inside. My boyfriend and I share this tent and feel like it's the perfect size (he's 5'8" and I'm 5'4"). It's cozy for a couple but probably not roomy enough for two tall friends. As for the asymmetrical walls sloping issue, I don't think it's really that noticeable but I'm short. The worst part of this tent is probably that it has TNF's cheesy slogan ("never stop exploring) fairly large on the rain fly.
