I spent days reading about different tents before buying the light wedge. I've taken it out on a 3 day trip in CO since buying it and couldn't be happier. It rained on us every night and on the third day it rained pretty much the entire day and night. When we got back from hiking, I was pleased to find our tent completely dry on the inside and all our gear under the vestibule equally dry. The tent is definitely adequate for 3 people (we slept two of us and our two German Shepherds very comfortably). At one point we had our two friends and the two dogs in the tent w/ us when playing some cards and it wasn't really that bad. Also, it packs up pretty small (recommend buying a compression sack for it) and is very light, especially when you split it up (wife carried the poles/footprint). Only thing I wish it had was more stakes. You need 6 more stakes to have one for each guy line on the fly (4) and another one to stake the side of the fly down on either side of the tent. Even w/o the use of the guy lines the fly still held off some torrential rain, so it's only a minor point, but I'm still going to buy 6 more stakes. Other than that, this is a perfect 3-season tent!
