Decent Tent

This is a decent tent. When I got it, the actual weight of the thing out of the box was almost exactly 6 lbs, (a little more than 5.5 listed in the specs, but if you remove stuff, it could get a little lighter).
I took it to Red Castle Lake in the Uintas and it was light enough. The weather was windy, rainy and at one point hailed on us. Tent kept us dry and fairly warm. I didn't notice any condensation the next morning either.
There are a lot of neat things I didn't realize about this tent until after I set it up. The fly has a vent that you can open that allows a little more air through.
The jakes foot clips for the poles are kind of neat. You basically just clip the poles, fly and footprint to the same thing. Very little hassle.
The fly has adjustable straps built in as well that make it easy to pull the fly tight.
Lastly, the fly has small velcro straps that you can use to strap the fly to the poles for good wind protection.
