Very comfy backpacking tent...

By Aaron Pfau Ranked #1182 - 3-Season Tents January 25, 2010

I've used this tent on 4 recent backpacking trips, all less than 3 nights. Purchased it as a larger, (heavier, but not by much), alternative to my single-person Big Agnes. Wanted something with more head room that would be more comfortable to hang out in at night and be able to store my gear inside. The tent has held up well so far and kept me generally warm inside. One night had very high winds in a gorge and while the poles swayed a bit, the tent held steady. Incredibly roomy inside and has plenty of space for my sleeping bag, backpack, and supplies. Would be a bit tight with 2 people but thats not what I got it for. Definitely not a standard design, was a little tricky to setup the first time but after you figure it out, you can get it setup quickly. The design maxes the interior space and keeps the walls nearly vertical. At 6', I can easily sit up inside without my head touching the walls. My biggest gripe is the stuffsack it comes with is over-sized, you'll want to replace that immediately if you're going to backpack with it. Have not used it in heavy rains yet so the jury is still out on how well it keeps out moisture.
