If your mantra is lighter is righter on lengthy approachs, then this tent is it. Excellent contstruction, so much better than my other tents (4 or 5). The attention to detail is readily apparent, hardened bushings in the pole sections to prevent cracking, tensioning devices that can be used with gloves on, two way door zips, etc. All the guides that saw it in the Pacific NW were drooling over it. It hasn't leaked a drop, and it better not considering the price tag.
A couple of reasons I don't give it a five. One, please people-I see too many entry level tents here with 5 ratings, thats just silly. Two, if stuck in a storm with another person it would be a pain to cook in the vestibule. Three, it takes a while for condensation on the fly (which is attached pretty much permanately) to evaporate before you can pack it up. Bottom line is that this tent is an excellent product, but saving all that weight has its draw backs too.
