I was quite impressed with tent when I first set it up. It is quite roomy and very well made. It has all taped seams, nice Atlas poles and some lightweight hardwear, features found on more expensive tents. It is big enough for 3 if you want. You always read reviews saying a little snug or not enough room for gear, but what Lightweight tent isn't. Mountain Hardwear lists the minimum weight as 5lb 4oz, minus stuff sacks, stakes and anything else you can jettison. Compare it to other 3 person tents on this site and anything lighter costs twice as much. What makes it lighter is the classic double A frame design( not free standing). My previous tent of 34 years is the same design and it worked well for me, but it was time for a bigger tent. As others have stated, it weathers storms and wind really well. When you set it up, you will immediately notice how taut it is. Also it is very easy to set up. Just stake out the 4 corners(thats all the stakes you really need) and pop in the poles, Done. The fly on the other hand you may want to practice setting up before using it for the first time.
