    Good tent, kept us warm in Ireland. That said, it would have been nice if it had a bigger vestibule and needs more pockets on the inside. Also, be prepared to have extra pegs as not enough are included to use with the fly.

    AWESOME tent. Used it in Arizona mountains. Kept us warm at night, but vented well in the day. Fly can easily get caught in zipper. Definitely a two person tent, but not too crowded. Worth it all for the light weight!

  • Great tent for one but tight for two
    By eagleVerified PurchaserVerified Reviewer from Maryland on 05/07/2008

    I bought this tent to use on a rim to rim hike in the Grand Canyon. For that trip I will be in the tent by myself but my wife and I tested it out last weekend and the tent worked very well but was a tight fit for the two of us. For one person feel this will be a great tent.
