Spacious with great features, but rainfly cannot be removed

Written on Mar 29, 2016

I bought this originally for Kauai to hike the Kalalau Trail. It's spacious for a 2 person tent. My gf (5'4") and I (5'8") fit in it, with room to spare against the sidewalls, and we even fit our backpacking backpacks at our heads/entrance. It held up in 40mph winds in Kauai and I used it at Lassen National Park on a snow backpacking trip. It held up well in the snow, but we covered the foot vent with a shirt to prevent cold wind getting in. The only knock on it is that the rainfly is connected to the tent itself for an easier setup (takes less than 5 minutes), so you can't remove it during warmer camping seasons to reduce weight, and you can't remove it to stargaze directly above you when you're laying down (but you can peak through the entrance window)

Other notes:
-Vestibule area is spacious enough for your backpack and boots and it's nice that each side has that.
-You can open the window to quickly see outside vs other tents with full rainflys will cover everything and block visibilty to outside, so you have to step out to open the rainfly in order to see outside
-Each side has a gear storage pocket and multiple ceiling loops for lamp/flashlights, etc.
-Door is in front of you instead of 1 side so you don't have to climb over the other person to exit..
