The North Face Spectrum 33 Tent 3-Person 3-Season
Great tent

I just returned from a 3 day trip during which I used this tent for the first time. Set up was quick and the tent performed very well. The first night had very little breeze and thus ventilation was a little lacking (I had zipped up the vestibule). As a result, the inside of the tent had become quite wet. The second night I cracked the vestibule slightly and all was dry in the AM. Perfect.
I will acknowledge that this is a small 3-person tent; only slightly larger than my buddy's 2 person REI dome tent. The purpose of this tent's feature-set is simple; to keep the tent light and fast. Considering I was lugging 2.5 pounds less than my buddy, I'd say it works.
