The Full Review:
Two words sum up this tent to me: BUY IT! Yeah, it's a significant investment, but that's exactly what you're making here, an INVESTMENT. An investment in your backcountry comfort, an investment in your tent's livable volume, and an investment in something that we all hold near and dear to our hearts.....weight reduction. This 2-person, free-standing Taj(as in Majal), is sub 4 lbs (3lbs 13oz off the shelf, but who's counting), has a 39" peak interior height, and boasts 43 cubic ft of interior volume. A must-have for the avid backpacker!
The Good
Super fast assembly. Vertical wall construction. Free standing. Lightweight. Awesome
The Bad:
Nada
The Bottom Line:
If you've experienced all that exploration has to offer and you're interested in upgrading your gear or you're a bit newer to it all but want to invest in a piece of gear that is super rad and will last, buy this tent. If you are questioning whether or not to buy this tent, you should buy this tent. If a tent isn't even what you wanted to read about, but you caught yourself reading this review, you should buy this tent.
