Awesome New Tent!

The Vega 2 has been an awesome tent so far for my wife and I. It serves as a perfect option for those outdoor trips where you do not need the ultra lightweight tent and instead want a little more space (while still packing small and being only roughly 5lbs). It includes all the high quality materials anyone that uses Exped products should be familiar with. Setup is quick and easy to figure out and it becomes incredibly clear that every detail was considered when producing this tent. The included footprint is also a huge plus to help with durability while also being removable if weight is a factor. Very happy with our purchase!

3 season tent with a 4 season rain fly

This is not the lightest 3 summer backpacking tent, but the headroom and the anchoring cord system are great. Feels very sturdy! 5 stars if it would be a little lighter, but I will leave the ground sheet at home when weight is top priority.
