So light it blew away! Awesome tent.

I bought this tent for the ventilation, light weight, and slick setup. I am not used to having such a light tent, and the first time I used it I sent it up in the yard for the kids on a hot night. No fly and didn't bother to stake it. It was a beautiful night, blowing about 10 knots, and the ten was tucked on a lawn surrounded by a 4 ft sea wall keeping the lawn from the ocean. We went in for dinner and when we came back out the tent had blown away into the ocean! It was so light it took off like kite, even though its all mesh. Sadly we are now tentless (though we have the fly if anyone wants it) - but I will try and find this tent on deal again. It is fabulous! Next time I will be sure to use the stakes right from the get go.

REI Description inaccurate
2 months ago
Just received this tent. I set it up to make sure all equipment was there. I noticed it seemed smaller than described. REI website has it as 90x68. I measured the 90 is correct but the 68 is actually 65. On the Mountain Hardwear paperwork it's described as 90x66. So the REI website is inaccurate. The few inches is very noticeable.
