"Best Little Tent" - Review of Black Diamond Lighthouse Tent 2-Person 3-Season

All reviews target the possibility of getting wet in a tent. All tents leak eventually to some degree. It is a matter of fact. I spent ten hours in the "Best Little Tent" in continuous rain in the Sierra Nevada 2006 October. I got a little wet. It's not a double wall. For three pounds, I'd do it again. I have a North Face Expedition double wall that stays much dryer and it's ten plus pounds. I have a Sierra Designs double wall and it keeps you dryer and it's six pounds. You can't have it all. Also, both of those tents have vestibules which I love. "The Best Little Tent" at three pounds has no vestibule but I will not take another tent unless I go to the rain forest. It has room for two, plenty of headroom, good ventilation, freestanding, easy setup, a giant door, darn near four season, packs micro small, cheeeery color when hanging, water tight floor, and finally my only beef, only one door. Another door would increase the weight by several ounces. Can't have that! If ya don't have the Lighthouse, ya don't have "The Best Little Tent", period.
