Big and light, but...

Ranked #941 - 3-Season Tents
December 23, 2009
This tent give you a LOT of space for the weight but there are definite tradeoffs. First of all the seams are not taped so you'll need to spend time seam sealing them before taking this anywhere. Second, there's no vestibule so you need to store everything inside in the event of rain and it's difficult to get in and out in the rain without getting everything soaked. Third, this is a single-wall shelter so if you camp in an area that doesn't have a lot of dry, breezy wind, there's a good chance you'll get some condensation on the inside. Fourth, my goodness it's an expensive tent!
