Good time but difficult to set up - MSR Elixir 3 Tent - 3 Person, 3 Season

This tent is not very well suited to backpacking as it a little on the heavy side. Furthermore, the pole design is makes it challenging to set up on your own which is something I really wanted. However, the good side of this tent is it comes with it's own footprint and the material seems very strong. All in all, I would rate this tent as a good buy for car camping but not as a backpacking tent. There are lighter options and the ease of set up for one person would be a challenge.
