Satisfied with new back country home! - Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 3 Tent - 3 Person, 3 Season-Clearance

I was in the market for a new light weight backpacking tent and did extensive research before making my purchase. I ended up going with the Fly Creak HV UL 3 as my new back country home for my trip out to central NV. I was looking at the Fly Creak HV UL 2, which is 1lb lighter (trail weight) than the UL3. For some that might be a big difference, but after reading several articles all two person back country tents are a tight squeeze for two adults. So I went with the UL3 for the additional room for 2 adults and a dog. When I received the tent I took it out and put up the tent in no time! I didn't fully stake it out to really maximize interior space but it definitely looked like it would fit two sleeping pads and a dog pretty comfortably. I decided the Toyiabe Crest Trail would be a good trail to break in the tent. The tent was easy to setup and easy to tear down. When I fulled stake down the tent to really maximized the interior space, it felt just right for two adults and dog. For three adults it be pretty snug inside. I'm 5'11" and I still had some footspace to spare. I have a Thermorest sleeping pad and my wife has a Nemo UL sleeping pad and that took up most of the floor space (You would not be able to fit three sleeping pads in the tent comfortably). We put on the rain fly and made sure it was nice and snug with the tent and it did very well in windy conditions. It's dry out here so I didn't experience the condensation people have experienced if the rain fly is not snug when using this tent. Since then I've used the test five times and its always a breeze to setup. If you're in the market for a new UL back country home for two adults I would go with the UL3. I'm Very satisfied with my purchase and I can't want to go on more outing!
