I'm convinced you can't get a better backpacking tent for the money. This tent is just over 4 lbs, packs small, the easiest tent I've ever set up, and has a vestibule (a must for me).

I have a Sierra Designs Stretch Dome, which cost me 4X as much, but I take this tent on my trips probably 75% of the time. You just can't beat it!

I agree with some feedback that the vestibule is small. It is plenty big for my pack and my wife's pack on a 2 nighter, but if you plan on doing more than a few days, I agree that it would probably be small for two packs with that much gear.

The tent is a perfect one man tent, but also works great for my wife and me (in full disclosure, we are both thin - 6'3" 175 lbs, and 5'4" 110 lbs).

Another added bonus ... the poles fold up a little smaller than a typical tent, so the poles actually fit perfectly in the side pocket of my pack! Nice!!
