I work for backcountry.com and I’m here to tell you this is the one. I'm six foot four and I can stretch out in this baby. This thing is touted as a one person but it is wider than my tnf canyonlands which is a two person tent. I took this on my wonderland trail trip around mt. Rainier which is a 100 mile, 20,000 ft elev. Gain and loss, 12 day trip. It is the lightest, roomiest tent I’ve found. Yes you can find lighter, you can go with a bivy or tarp, or another 1 person tent. Are you going to climb into your sleeping bag which is inside your bivy if you get to camp at 2:00 pm and there are a ton of bugs and it's 70 degrees? Can you sit up in it and change clothes or add a layer? Is your tarp going to keep the bugs away? Can you take the rainfly off your tent and look at the stars and still be this light and roomy? Didn't think so, me neither which is why I chose this one. It weighs less than 3 lbs. Just get one, you'll thank me. One note, keep the Velcro away from the mesh, it snags easy, light weight almost always comes with a compromise but like all gear if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Happy trails!!
