Pros: spacious space-to-weight ratio (roomy fit for 2 plus gear),lightweight, sturdy in high wind, fast and easy setup, clever dual use of trekking poles.
Cons: heavy condensation occurs inside even in relatively dry alpine climate and only 1 person inside! must seal many long seams yourself (sealant not provided) or will leak badly, drafty (wind blows under the walls without floor), must add weight of floor/ground cover if you want this, no bug protection
