"Great price Great tent Great manufacture." - Review of Outdoor Research NightHaven Light Shelter 2-Person

Rating for this product: 4 By abwillhoit1980524 on June 23, 2008
The name says it all, its super light, extremely packable and after a few set ups easy to pitch on the trail or in the bush. Outdoor Research doesn't offer a full line of tents but what they do offer is pure gold. This tent has all the amenities of a floored tent with the weight of a pocket shelter. No-see-um mesh zip door, roof vent and mesh on all four sides keep the air well circulated. Pitching this tent for one used to poles and guide sleeves might find this tent a bit complicated but for ultra lighters or someone looking for a more packable option should look no further. Condensation levels stay pretty low during the summer with the door unzipped. I highly suggest purchasing the footprint, which works more as a floor than a footprint. Another attribute few floorless designs have is the floor extension that the footprint overlaps for full protection from cold or wet ground. Two person is an adequate rating the length is good but for anyone over 6' 2" it would be a bit tight. The height also for taller people might be a bit tight with the restrictions from the trekking poles. This tent for the price is a steal, no one offers a tent with these options for the price. A few suggestion for erecting this tent with trekking poles is to have a pole that has a latching mechanism like Black Diamonds Flicklock instead of a twist lock like the MSR Denali III poles makes set up much quicker and easier. Also this tent needs to be erected on almost completely flat ground to allow for good air circulation.
