I think Dakkaguru broke it down pretty thoroughly. This tent rocks. It has negative weight. It compresses to a tiny, tiny little ball. In the picture I am waking up to chilly Grayson Highlands. The mesh is a huge plus for summer camping - the whole thing is practically mesh. This tent is so well thought out it's not even funny.
