"Excellent, compact shelter" - Review of Black Diamond Eldorado Standard Tent 2-Person 4-Season

Finally dropped the money on a single wall after dragging The North Face VE-25 into the hills all the time. At 4-5 pounds lighter, my wife and I were expecting it to be a snug fit, but the Eldorado's wide footprint and steep sidewalls give plenty of space for two, with packs outside or in the vestibule. If I could change one thing, I'd have gotten the two-door option, if only for a little extra venting at the far end of the tent. It comes well sealed with good stakes and extra seam-grip for the exterior seams. Also comes with guyline, but it's surprising that you pay $600 for a tent and they only give you enough cord for half of the stake points. An inconvenience, but not a big deal. We slept warmer in very cold weather and had more space in the packs -- perfect.
