Pros	Lightweight, high-tech materials, completely waterproof single-wall, removable mesh, large side-entry door, optional vestibule	Stormworthy, highly resistant to snow loading, pitches quickly from outside, great ventilation, multiple set-up configurations	Extremely lightweight, very packable, completely waterproof	Super strong, livable design, above average versatility, great pockets, reflective Kevlar guylines with camming adjusters	Huge hooped vestibule, lighter for a double wall, durable design, easy to set up and take down, quality construction, does well in the rain
Cons	Expensive, snug fit for two	Zippers are small and slightly harder to grab, less headroom than other models	Stakes and bug netting not included, not great in high winds, expensive for what you get	Heavier, pole sleeves aren't as quick to set up, more care must be taken while pitching the tent	Mediocre headroom, so-so weight, small interior doors, vestibule is hard to get taut, hard to attach rainfly to poles with gloves
Bottom Line	This is the most waterproof, breathable, lightweight, single-wall 4-season tent we've ever tested	Built for the worst conditions but still light and packable enough to consider for summer mountaineering	An ultralight mid, or pyramid tarp, that is outrageously lightweight and totally waterproof	A popular pick among climbing circles, this model performs well and won't entirely break the bank	A high-performing all-around 4-season tent that does most things well but isn't the absolute best at anything
