Great Backpacking/Kayak Camping Tent!

I purchased this backpacking tent after heavy research when I lived in Colorado. I have nothing bad to say about it other than since it's a single walled tent you can find condensation gathering on the walls during cold nights (you can purchase a breathable nylon liner to help prevent this). I have slept in below freezing temps in this tent and I've also slept in 90 degree nights. Then tent and poles pack into a small bag, weighs less than 3lbs, has 2 doors with 2 vestibules and is a breeze to setup (one center pole). Other tents with these characteristics cost close to $500 but the Double Rainbow retails at $275. It's a great tent to be used for canoe or kayak camping due to its small size and light weight.
