Sirius 3
Product Description
Intelligent design and backcountry wisdom make the Sirius 3 unique and lightweight. The Quick Pitch Swivel Hub not only streamlines set-up, but also increases strength by stabilizing poles in a windstorm. The DAC Press Fit poles offer more strength for improved durability and a more wind-resistant pitch. Siliconized ends of the tent body function as a single-wall shelter, while the half-mesh doors and half-coverage vestibules permit ample airflow through the tent. The Sirius 3 is comfortable, resists condensation, and weighs next-to-nothing for three campers.Specs:

Very nice tentPros:
1) Very easy setup.
2) Great ventilation
3) Very strong and light pole system. The swivel top and aluminum poles combine for a very strong skeleton.
4) Roll back fly allowed us to sleep under the stars with little concern for how long it would take to re-set the fly.
Cons:
1) The vestibules are very small; just enough for boots and maybe a little cooking.
2) The zippers are not the smoothest. To start the mid-floor zipper is a two handed operation.
3) Perfect for two sleepers. Three would be cozy.
4) As with a lot of backpacking tents, Our heads and feet were up touching the walls, thus transfering the moisture from the wall to the sleeping bag. I'm 6'0" and my wife is 5'8" and it was a slight problem for both of us.
All in all a great lightweight tent with no outstanding problems. Plenty of room for two average sized people.
