Big Agnes  Crag Lake 3 Tent

I've taken the Crag Lake on several trips now. It's the first higher end tent I've used. I use it primarily for backpacking. It's a huge improvement over the beast I was carrying (some random 8 lb tent) but I'd say this is right on the edge of how heavy I'd want my tent to be. It's perfect for me and my wife. My dog (a lab) can fit if we absolutely have to, but typically she sleeps in the vestibule. This leaves us with a lot of space for gear and stretching out. We enjoy the side and overhead pockets which make organizing your personal items at the end of the night better. It's held up in moderate rain and wind and across three states so far.

I used this tent on a four day backpacking trip this past weekend. The tent was easy to set up and had plenty of room for two of us. Although it didn't rain, the rainfly feels really well made and looks like it'll do a great job shedding water. Also plenty light enough for such a "large" tent.

I use this tent for exploring rivers and fishing out of my jet boat. I chose the 3 person so I can store gear inside if needed, totally worth the minimal increase in weight. The floor is plenty durable and I set it up on rocks and gravel frequently without a footprint. Two large vestibules are great for laying out wet waders/boots and other gear. It is a higher profile tent (one of the reasons I purchased it) but had no problem with 20 - 30 mph winds. Great mid-priced tent and very comfortable!
