That is my tent of choice. Its good for one or two plus a little terrier. My poles are REI brand (Leki?) carbons and they work. Two biggest issues are condensation (but really not bad for a single wall: pitch it tight with a stick to prop the back wall a bit) and footprint (you can't always find a consistently flat spot in some sites). But its great in the rain, and with that huge door, you can pitch it towards a great view and wake up looking right at it in the am. Takes me less than 2 min to set it up. Love it! Buy one! Buy two! Never stop buyin gear, bro!
