 Great light tent for 2! No Really 2 PeopleFeb 24, 2010
By Frank T. Steele
I laugh when I see people say "There are lighter tents out there, but for more money". Oh really? name one.... That is 59 inches by 89 inches and weighs less than 5 lbs. Hmmm, Big Agnes Seedhouse 2? Nope they are 84" x 52" x 42", not even rectangular, only 6-8 oz lighter (I bought titanium stakes, which I use between different tents, the Pinnacle is 4 lbs 12 oz in the bags with light stakes) $70 more expensive ($120 since the pinnacle can be found for $99) with 9 less square feet and no real vestibule(s).
The Pinnacle Pass 2 A
1. Weighs 4 lbs 14 oz with all the bags, mine is 4lbs 12 oz with lighter stakes
2. 36.5 square feet, its 89" x 59". When I car camp I put a Coleman Queen size air mattress in it and it fits perfectly (A solo air bed tent that is super comfy for one or two) can't do that with ANY other "2 Man" backpacking tent!
3. Has two LARGE gear vestibules.
Hmm what else, REI half dome? Nope 5 lbs 8 oz, $150, only 31.8 Sqft
new REI quarter dome T2? Nope 4oz lighter, but 6.7 less sqft and $269
bigger REI Quarter Dome T2 Plus, almost, same exact weight, but still .84 sqft less room and $300!
Lets go extreme, the MSR Carbon Reflex 2 at $500, weighs 24 oz less, BUT is not free standing and has only 29.2 sqft, 7 1/4 less.
or maybe a Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2? (much better than the Carbon reflex) It is 2 lbs 2oz lighter, but again 5.5 sqft less area and $350.
How about "The fly doesn't cover the whole tent" Uh, Hello... McFly, it's a backpacking tent, they are trying to cut down the weight. The fly covers ever place that has noseeum mesh, and not the other water-proof areas, plus it creates two good sized vestibules for gear. Backpackers don't normally store their gear in the tent with them like car campers.
Speaking of water-proof, ALL tents should be seam sealed by the buyer, yes, even that $500 MSR Carbon Reflex 2, read the manual.
I own a lot of tents (even more sleeping bags). Are there lighter 2 man FREE STANDING tents out there, Not really. Most of you seem to think these "2 man" tents are too small, including this one. Is a Queen sized bed too small for two people in your world? because my Queen size air mattress fits in this tent.
I have a tent with 5.5 sqft MORE room than this tent that only weighs 2 1/2 lbs, BUT it is not free standing AND costs $265 (not bad really, a Tarptent Rainshadow 2). So it is $165 more and is a single wall tent so you have to watch out for condensation.
At $99-170 for 36.5 sqft tent that weighs less than 5 lbs with the stakes, guy lines, poles, fly and bags. This is hard to beat.

Great bang for the buckJun 25, 2006
By Joeseph Schmeau
I bought this 2-man tent to use while backpacking.
It sets up in a hurry, is very durable, and is very light for a 2-man tent.
I generally backpack with one of my kids, and this will hold two of us, plus a change of clothes and our small gear with no problem. There are two doors, which is great, so that we don't have to climb over each other to get out of the tent. Outside each door is a small vestibule, which is a great place to put your shoes to keep them dry. The tent poles (2) are aluminum, and they are very strong and light. I also like the fact that this tent is free standing. Once you get it set up, you can move it around easily if you're not happy with the location.
This is a great backpacking tent for the money. It will hold two people with just a few things comfortably, or one person with all your gear comfortably. There are lighter tents out there, but you'll pay for them.

Great little tent!Jun 14, 2007
By No Schist
I love this tent! It's perfect for 2 people for backpacking, and also for just one. The setup take literally 30 seconds in the dark (I've done that many times). What I often do is attach the fly to only one end so I can look at the stars at night. If it rains, it takes 2 seconds to hop out and snap the fly on the rest of the way. It's one of the best tents I've found for backpacking!

Good Quality for the PriceAug 19, 2006
By Kevin Arnold
"Ntronn"
I was overall very happy with the performance of this tent for the price aournd $100. It recently survived well while being used for over a week of backpacking in Denali National Park in Alaska. The weight is slightly more than typical backpacking tents, but the price and features make up for that. It survived over 40 mph sustained winds one night with no damage. The two doors and size are decent for 6 foot people without being too cozy. The vestibules are very handy for storing your boots. On colder nights it did get a fair amount of condensation on the inside of the tent though. Overall a good purchase.

 If you expect rain while using this tent...Jul 20, 2007
By Mary Lee
This tent is good except that it is not a full coverage rainfly. I worked on a trail crew and lived in the state parks in a tent for 2 1/2 months with this particular tent. It rained everyday for a week and the tent definitely leaked through the seams that were not covered with a rainfly. Other than that, the rainfly did do its job for the part of the tent that it did cover. This tent is good if you are not expecting rain.
