seems pretty good but "2 person" tents tend to be just wide enough for two sleeping bags to fit side by side and are usually around 8 feet long. If you plan on fitting two people, two backpacks, and any amount of food with you it may be too small (couldn't see the dimentions on the website so i'm not sure). Anyway, I'm in the market for one of these too and the two pole designs are standing out most. The one I am looking for is a one person modle though.. but I plan on using it for solo hiking overnighters... my options are that or a tarp.. still not sure.. anyway, if you plan on using the tent with someone and you are taking a little bit of gear with you you may end up storing it outdoors/in a tree/etc... if you are thinking about getting one for camping I recomend a bigger one.. My "camping" tent is 8' X 8' and 6' high in the center...

Thats nice Kim. I have a 3 person 3 season & its perfect for 2 people.
But its no doubt heavyer then a 2 person, but thats the trade off.
A 1 person tent is very small, but very nice in weight & packability.
A 2 person is to me is a great 1 person tent, lol. But if you want 2 people to have " some " room get a 3 person tent.
But !.. if money and weight is on your mind, a 2 person is fine.
you save weight & money but you sleep really close together.
Boyfriend / girlfriend / husband wife thing are fine for 2 person. Cool

Basicly if you want to have a backpack and a tiny tiny bit of elbow room you need to have a tent that is suggested for at least one more person than you plan on being with while camping... 2 ppl = 3 person tent, 3 = a 4 person tent, etc..
