 Great tent - Especially for the price!Nov 15, 2009
This may not be the lightest tent on the market, but it's definitely the lightest for the price. You may be able to drop a pound by dropping another hundred bucks...not worth it to me! There is plenty of room, both inside the tent and inside BOTH vestibules. I'm not sure if it was necessary, but I chose to waterproof the exterior of tent and the rainfly with spray silicone. It was still up in the back yard the next day when a HUGE rainstorm came - an all day downpour! When I checked it that night, there was not a drop in the tent. I was super impressed. It's also extremely easy to pitch (read 3-mins). We've had no condensation problems due to ample venting. If there's no rain in the forecast, I would recommend leaving the rainfly off - awesome view due to 4-walls of noseeum mesh.
I recommend this tent.
Awesome Tent!Nov 01, 2009
This tent is easy to set up, (10 min for one person 5 for two), is light enough for backpacking, and roomy enough for two. My brother and I had plenty of room and we are big buys. The two vestubiles are roomy enough to keep your gear dry. I would recommend this to a friend.
 Apex 2XT with full rain flyOct 20, 2009
This review is for the Apex 2XT with FULL rain fly.
My first outting with this tent was a 3 day trip in October 09 to Pine Mt. GA during which it rained 1"+ a day for the whole week with temps down to low 40's high 30's at night. The seams around the top arch of the fly door zippers leaked but the material held up very well. I adjusted the angle at which the fly was staked out and got a little improvement with a very taut set. A little seam sealer should see some improvement. It was well ventillated so after mopping up moisture wasn't a problem. The set up and break down, both in heavy rain, were simple and quick. At 6'3" and broad at the shoulder this serves as a one man tent for me. Two could make do but it would be tight. At 5 lbs 12 oz I wouldn't want to carry it very long distances but for a few miles a day or base camping it's not too bad. The vestibules are huge and have plenty of room for two sets of gear and more. At 6'3" I didn't think I would have the previously mentioned problem of reaching the fly zipper but even I had to crawl out into the mud with a camp shoe on one hand. The angle of the fly and tent doors also allow rain to come straight down into the tent when entering/exiting. So have your mind set about what you're doing and make it quick to minimize exposure. The tent itself is very well ventillated with plenty of mesh. This is a solid tent for the price and I would recommend it it to anyone from beginer to old timer. But, as with any gear how you use and care for it will determine how well it does in the long run.
PROS:
Good Price
Well ventillated
Huge vesibules
Easy set up/ take down
Solid craftsmanship
Weight decent if spilt between two packers
CONS:(Poor design of Fly/Vestibule)
Seams of fly zipper leaked
Rains straight down into tent door when fly door is opened
Zippers awkwardly far from door
Wonderfull tent !Oct 10, 2009
Used this tent for backpacking around Mammoth mountain area. Rained each day, never got wet at all, Then had enough room for my self and my gear to be kept dry. Even enough room to keep gear on the inside of the tent and sleep. Not the most light tent made, but for the price.. Its unbeatable. Highly recommended Get it !

Like itSep 11, 2009
First, I like the design and color. It didn't disappoint me when I got it. The quality of the material also seems to be good.
I used it twice. The first time there was a whole night thunder storm. I could sleep peacefully, not worrying leaking. Some other friends had to sleep partially wet.
I saw one review suggesting drop cloth to protect the bottom of the tent. It works great for me. Greatly reduced the effort to clean the tent. And the cost is minimum.
