I have just used a Sil-Hexpeak tent myself on a recent trip without the inner mesh tent. I used a bug bivy. I am 6'3" and when another hiker had some trouble with his solo tent we both shared my tent the last two nights. This tent takes up no room in your pack. I stored my tent (minus the inner mesh tent) in my pack's water bottle holder.

I still have a few remaining. I adjusted the price elsewhere so I simply wanted to also pass that savings on here. This is an excellent tent with great feedback so far. If you would like to give it try, just let me know and I'll hold one for you. Cheers!

So, is that a piece of webbing running along the bottom? I assume to make pitching easier so you know how far to put the stakes away from each other?

And, if the tent and pole is $200, is the tent without pole still $190?

Exactly, there are two quick disconnect straps that help gauge the distance between the four main stakes. They make a huge difference when pitching the hex shaped tent, especially in the begining. Stake the first four corners out, insert the pole and then stake out the remaining corners. I tend to pack the tent away with those straps connected and lay it out to pitch with those staps attached and running across the top of the tent, imstead of under. I usually disconnect atleast the front strap, after pitching..but not always. It just makes things easier, especially initally.

The tent without the pole is only $175 for now. However, the quality of the poles really are top notch. Either way, you would be hard pressed to find a better set up for the price.
