Just got one finally. It will be the tent for wifey and I going bike-packing (mountain bikes) over turkey day holiday as long as the weather is reasonable. It splits the difference between my usual bivy only style and our 6lbs car camping tent.

Reviews are definitely right about sizing. I'm 5'11" and if you were much taller it would be hard not to touch the walls in two person usage. Interior height is awesome! We can sit up and play cards, no where near the ceiling and cook as long as it's a non-white gas stove. Great! Not a huge amount of room for gear but for an ultralighter or UL pair it can be done. We think fitting in the dog (golden retriever) could be done although we don't mind being cozy. Heck I think it's downright spacious compared to using just the montbell bag cover most of the time.

Looking forward to giving it a go over the next year or so. It will see above treeline mountaineering trips, two person back- and bike-packing trips and some winter use as well. We'll see if it survives :)

If you have any questions fire away. No rain is predicted anytime soon although we might get snow on Tuesday night so maybe I'll pitch it outside.
