Default Exped Venus II tent

OK, it's not really GS gear but most of the time that I use a tent I'm on my GS so thought I'd pass this info along.

Teaser pics...





Lots more info at http://www.snafu.org/pics/exped-tent/
Can't really call it a review, yet, because I haven't done more than set it up and tear it down in my back yard.

Thanks for the prereview. I have been looking for tents also but my issue is that I am 6'4" so it is a little tougher to find a tent that I am not touching both ends while I am sleeping.

This is not the tent for a 6'4" person. I prefer free standing tents so I can find tune placement once erected. Then I stake them out. The long ones seem to require staking to erect. Or you might find a 3 man tent that packs small. Good luck.
