good ultralight 1 human tent...

i have used this tent twice so far, both on two day backpacking trips in cold but mostly dry weather.
WEIGHT: it is THE lightest weight one human tent that i have found.
SPACE: i am 5' 1" and fit in this tent with my 3,000 cubic inch pack & my beagle, and had just a little space to spare. PACKED SIZE: good size to be able to fit inside or outside a pack.
WATER TEST: didn't get the chance to test it in the rain... just a few sprinkles, so can't say if it keeps the H2O out.
DOORS: the tent entry is big and its a side door instead of a front door BUT when unzipped, it sits on the floor instead of to the side, so you end up stepping on it.
VESTIBULE SPACE: there are several inches between the vestibule and the ground, enough space for rain to get in if coming down at an angle, so i wouldn't trust putting stuff right up against the vestibule wall.
OTHER: they make a footprint for this tent.
OVERALL: good tent for what's out there now in the ultralight one person tent category.
