Gear Review
Taking heed, but going hard.

I was warned about the single wall tent- I believe the phrase was "sweat-box", so when I took this out on a few trips, I braced myself, and ended up being really pleased.
2-person is kind of a stretch; unless you REALLY like the person you are sharing with, or space/weight is an issue. This tent is part of a crazy-light package from TNF, so what it misses in breeze, it makes up for it packability. Its phenomenally easy to set up, take down, etc. I'll admit its tough to go from a two door system to a one front door, but the vesibule is decent size, so it works.
Overall, this tent is completely worth it.
