Good design, good construction, good product. - Sierra Designs Mountain Guide Tarp - 4 Person, 4 Season

FOR...Just under 6lb ready to hike with and once erected and guyed out it is a very stable tent.
The skirts should keep the cold out as they readily seal the tent up without anything on them.
Guyouts are quality parts.
Reflective tape on tent.

AGAINST...The colour - how about green/grey?
Guyout lines not reflective.
The tent won't go back into the 'store' bag - should come with a compression bag as when hiking you rarely put the tent away dry and neatly folded.
Aluminium pegs are worthless, buy some Ti pegs instead (5 for the tent sides, 5 for the guyouts).
When fully sealed it becomes obvious why the extra vent in the side is there - the tent becomes airless inside without leaving the door open a couple of inches. A fly-mesh vent with a popup cover would be a very good idea on the side opposite the large vent.

WHAT NEXT?...Shock cord and plastic hooks to stretch between the corners of adjacent skirt panels. Corner, around guyout peg, to next panel = tight skirts.
