REVIEW: (3 Nights at Bass Lake, CA)
- (SETUP) Even with instructions I was baffled with the pole configuration. I'm serious, the instructions could have been in "Pop-up book" format and I'd still have been lost! Even when I thought I had everything in place I came to find out that some sections were upside down. [When you set it up once (correctly), you'll be golden from then on and it shouldn't take but a few minutes in the future.]
- Condensation collected under the cover of the tent, but it never fell through the net-mesh.
- Great Airflow with/without the cover.
- Both entrances/exits work well and felt strong.
- Tent is solid as a drum when fully assembled.
- Stakes aren't needed unless you have the cover on.
- Plenty of privacy with the cover on.
- The net-mesh works amazing at keeping insects out and giving the occupants a panoramic approach to sleeping.
- [BACKPACKING] You can fit it all into one pack, but you might want to split it into two if you are sharing sleep space with a friend.
- [BACKPACKING] You will probably need a smaller sack to keep this tent in if your looking to save space.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Long story short, if you need a great solid tent that can fit three bodies, plus gear, in comfort and is Backpack friendly, then this is an excellent choice.
I'd buy the Footprint for this tent. The material for the tent is plenty strong, but if your going to invest in a tent of this quality and cost, then it's better to get as much as you can out of it for future uses.

I wanted a light tent that could pass as a 2 man, (with one of the men 6'4", 260 lbs) plus 2 dogs or a tent that could accommodate 3-4 people, if necessary.
Lots of room and very comfortable head room.
Setup was easy without pouring over step-by-step instructions.
Loved the see through mesh. We took the tent to mosquitoville (early Desolation Wildnerness), and groups of us hung out in there, just to escape. Even the dogs quickly figured out it was better in the tent without the mosquitos.
I was very surprised at how rugged the mesh was. The dogs would try to get in/out by scratching at the door. I expected big claw marks in the mesh, and there were none.
The rain fly was very rugged and comprehensive and yet we did not experience any condensation.
I was kind of disappointed it didn't rain, because I wanted to see how that would turn out, but unfortunately, we had beautiful weather.
