Great lightweight backpacking tent - Big Agnes Seedhouse SL 3 - Tent

I bought this about a month ago from Campsaver, and had an opportunity to field test it over a weekend backpacking. I can't believe how light this thing is. I was hiking with my kid, which requires me to carry most of the gear, so we didn't split up the tent, and I had no problems carrying it at all. Super light, and packs down small in a small compression bag. It is super easy to pitch, and has multiple pitch options, which is nice. I would say that this tent is on the large side of 3 person tents. It is a palace for two people, but you could fit 3 adults in there in a pinch. An adult and 2 kids, or 2 adults and 1 kid, or 2 adults and a dog would be ideal. While it didn't rain the night we used it, I have full confidence that this tent would keep us dry. It is easy to pitch, and you get a nice taut pitch. One end door is definitely better than one side door like other tents have, though 2 doors would be nice (it would probably add to the weight though).
