This tent rocked my world. We had all the weather: rain, frozen rain, wind, snow, sun. And it weathered all the weather. Even when I didn’t get the pitch quite right with the strong winds, it managed to keep two of us dry. It managed to keep most of the blowing rain off our stuff stored in the vestibules.
I have been skeptical about using a two-person backpacking tent for two people since a rainy backpack in British Columbia when I was 18. I remember a night or two spent figuring out how to keep my sleeping bag dry. And everything else dry. It seemed as if I moved I would touch the wall of the tent which would touch the wall of the fly and then all the water would come in. It was too small, there was no room. And this was for two tall but average sized women. What would you do for two large and tall men? My previous solution was to use a three-person tent.
But now I have this MSR beast. Weighing in at only 3.5lbs., she’s keeping it tight.
