Good Tent.

Easy to set up

This is a great tent. I used the Tadpole 23 during an 11-month trek through Central and South America. It is very easy to set up. The vestibule is large enough that it kept gear for two people always dry. This thing is very aerodynamically and even while sleeping on top of a volcano during high winds it didn?t flap or make much noise. I really like the nice tent stakes that come with this tent; they really dig into the ground and hold very well. I also like the generous amount of netting. I spent many nights sleeping on deserted beaches and in the jungle unperturbed by the swarms of hungry insects and still was able to enjoy the cool evening breezes and respite from the perpetual heat. A very good all around tent, however, you had better know the person you are sharing this thing with very well because it is very cozy on the inside.
