I've been looking for a tent to replace the old "Hillary" one my family has had for years. I wanted something that I could use for backpacking, andit needed to have space for a couple of people (or a person and a giant German Shepherd) and some gear. I didn't want to spend all that much, so 4 season was pretty much out of the question. I had bought a french mil-surp tent of sportsmasguide, but it wasn't at all what I wanted. But it was only 20 bucks, and I'm planning on deconstructing it to use as a tarp.
I checked a certain discount website for a certain backcountry gear website and found this tent on sale for $134. While it's not exactly what I wanted and had a couple of negative reviews, I couldn't pass up the deal.

NOTE THIS IS NOT WHERE I BOUGHT IT, NOT DEALSPOTTING, THE DEAL IS NOW OVER
The tent was most of what I wanted, vestibule, 3 person capacity, footprint included, rainfly, aluminum poles, light enough for backpacking. I need to see if I can get a gear loft for it, but I'm really happy and excited for my new tent.
Anyone have any experience with Big Agnes? This tent specifically?
Once I get it and get out to use it I'll post a review. Right now I'm just hoping that I like it.
