Great tent value - NEMO Equipment Galaxi 2 Tent - 2 Person, 3 Season

This tent is built very well and has very heavy duty fabric. The fact that it comes with a footprint puts it as the best backpacking 2 person tent in the $200-$300 price category IMHO. The inside dimension just fits my wife's 20"x 72" sleeping pad next to my 25" x 77" sleeping pad. I'm 6'-6" and I BARELY fit head to toe... my long size sleeping bag touches both ends. My wife and I are very "cozy" inside this bad boy, but I see no need for a bunch of extra space and weight in a backpacking tent. We actually go up into the back country, and we sleep warmer in the smaller tents anyway... we actually used an REI Nitelite for 15 years, and this tent is MUCH roomier, self supporting, and the same weight. Love it.
My only gripe is I wish the rain fly had some sort of recess to keep the ridge pole centered on the area that is reinforced with double thick material. I erect the tent so the fly so that it is perfectly centered, but it seems to want to walk slightly sideways so that it is pushing on the single layer fabric area... makes me worried it will puncture over time. Overall an awesome husband/wife backpacking tent.
