Very Good Tent

April 25, 2010
I just returned from a four-day, three-night hiking/camping trip in North Georgia, where 10 friends and I did the approach trail to Springer Mountain, which is the start of the Appalachian Trail. I like a lot of room for my gear, so I used my Limelight 3 just for myself. The weather was clear for the first two nights and rained pretty hard on the third night. The tent had good ventilation, even with the rain fly on, and was very easy to set up.
This was only the second trip I've used the tent, so I don't know yet how durable it will be long-term, but it appears to be pretty solid. It has a very nice design, with two doors on the tent and the vestibule on each side of the rain fly. If I needed to share it with someone, it would not be a problem. The height of the tent is very good, as I am 6'1" and can maneuver in the tent quite easily.
All in all, I'm very pleased with the tent thus far.
