Craigster is right. If you are one person it is great to have a two man tent. 3 folks then maybe a 4 man tent.

I have had a Big Agnes two man tent with only me using it. The extra space is nice to have. It is made in Steamboat Springs Co. Very light weight of 3 pounds so a 4 man would not be much more. I have backpacked a lot with it and it does not take much space.

It has the fly cover as well and does not seem to have the condensation problem. Easy to erect in max 15 minutes. I have not camped overnight for a couple of years but I do take it on day hikes as it is so light in case of an emergency.

I prefer a hotel room for sleeping but day hikes only get me about 3 hours into a hike and then I turn around and come back.

So if you are backpacking the lighter the tent the better and should be compact for putting in your backpack.

Cheers, Guy

PS My tent withstood strong winds in a thunderstorm. Leaving the tent in the middle of a thunderstorm could have ended up with the tent blowing away!
