Good tent - Big Agnes Rattlesnake SL 2 mtnGLO Tent

this is a pretty sweet tent. not what i was shopping for, but the sale price was to good to pass up. don’t care for the rainfly color, but thats probably why it was on sale, right? tent is very lite, and easy to set up with one person. like most 2 person backpacking tents, this is very small for two people. i bought it for solo trips. you could get two people inside it, but it would be very tight. vestibules could be bigger. footprint was nice. tent will kite in the wind if not staked down! still kinda torn on the whole led light system. i didn’t get the tent for that feature, but will say, the leds are handy at night in the tent. of course you have to carry batteries. only thing wrong with the tent is the sidewalls in the footbox area are not high enough. if it’s cold out and the fly is on, the tent will draft/draw air up from this area right on top of your feet. your feet are going to get cold! i plan to add a strip of rip-stop nylon about 12” high to this area to cause the draft to move up off of my feet. the tent has adequate guy lines, and seems sturdy in the wind. don’t think it would handle a snow-load on it, for those thinking of pushing the 3 season rating.
