This tent has definitely been designed around the end user. There is so much room for my sleeping mat, not to mention head room. I also really like how much gear storage has been built into this tent (2 seperate gear "lofts" and then even more storage by the head of your bed). There are 2 vestibules, one of which is more for your gear than a human. That is cool on it's own, but there is actually a zipper on the tent to be able to your stuff without having to get back out of your tent to get into whatever you stashed there. Not to mention the "nice to have" touches like glow in the dark zipper pulls that actually glow! The stashes for the guylines is also nice to keep them out of the way when they are not the ones you don't use regularly. All in all, a great little tent. They got the weight right and I really like this design.
Been using this tent for a couple months now and it continues to impress me. Plenty of interior space and it’s easy to sit up and move around. Quality is great. The large vestibule is especially useful.
