Mountainsmith Lichen Peak: 2-Person 3-Season

I've never had an end-hoop style tent so I was thinking it was going to be saggy in the middle. Then I saw they gave me 17 stakes and I thought there was a bunch extra. You use them all, and no it's not saggy. Once I got it all set up it's very rigid and tight. Very weather/wind proof. It is very comfy for 2 and a deluxe suite for one (I'm 6'-4" plenty of room). I could see this as a 3.5 season with a good bag. Love the included ground cloth (that buckles to the tent so you can set up in one piece instead of fighting the wind!) but makes pack-down size a tad bigger than hoped.

This tent is much smaller than the description states. The floor is only about 7.5 feet long, not the 9 feet it says in the description. That makes a big difference if you like to bring your packs into your tent with you. The vestibule adds about 1.5 feet to the length, so maybe they mistakenly included that in the floor measurement.

I have used this tent on riverbeds in Western Oregon, at 5500 feet in the Enchantments, and on the Lunch Counter of Mt. Adams. It hasn't failed me yet, in rain or wind, heat or cold. For a single-walled tent, there isn't too much condensation. I wish it was a bit lighter/less bulky, but for $90 I really can't complain. If you're looking for a cheap backpacking tent, this is a good option.
