I'm looking for a three person tent for my wife, kid and I. The most interesting options are the REI quarter dome 3 and tarp tent rainshadow 2. I have set up a qtr dome and it seemed very spacious and like the two doors. The walls were relatively vertical on the sides. I like the tarptent for its weight but am somewhat concerned about the angle of the sides and also only one door is kind of a concern. I also like the stratosphere 2 but think it would be a bit to tight. Does anyone have any opinions about either or other options. Thanks

I did but I dont remember why I didnt put it on my list so Ill take another look. The floor dimensions on the cloudburst are the same if I'm not mistaken as the stratospire 2(at max width)? Do those two have a similar sleeping feel/useable floor space?

Recently a member here posted a photo of his SS2 with 4 mats inside .
He used that doing the Appalachian trail with his wife and two kids.
So depending on how you feel about space the SS2 can do what you are after.
However the CB3 was designed to be a 3 person tent.
The larger entry point would make it easier for the third person to get in and out of the tent .
It is a hybrid so not full two walls but you can add the liner to cover the sides and top so you could use that option when needed .
