[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally decided to invest in a new 3P tent for thru hikes after having a reliable 5lb Vango tent house me for the past ten years. Now, I haven’t trail tested it yet, but I’ve set them up in the yard a couple times now to compare, and wow! The first thing that stands out is how roomy this tent is. I’ve always had the mentality that if you want to hike with a friend you definitely need a 3P because no way are two grown men fitting in a 2P tent. In the same way, you’d be lucky to fit two men and a baby in a 3P tent. Well. I actually think I could fit three grown men in here! A little squeezy still but possible. The tent is well designed so you can sit upright virtually anywhere, the vestibules are big enough to fit all your gear, the lighting system provides a good ambient glow to get settled at night without blinding you. I can’t wait to take this on the trail! Set up and pack down were simple- my only criticism is I’d love to see a few more stakes included. If you want to set up the ‘porch’ area with your walking poles, there just aren’t enough stakes. Minor details, and I get it. Helps achieve that claimed weight.
