Have been using a Megamid for three years. It rules! I live in Colorado, I use this tent (mostly at altitude) from mid-October thru May. I don't use it during the 3 summer months when I need a bug screen. Its light, hardly bigger than a nalgene bottle and can comfortably sleep 2 people with all their gear or 3 with most of their gear. Its well ventilated for cooking inside during a storm and spacious to hang out in. It pitches with 2 ski poles (avy probe type) and has withstood many winter storms and some serious winds. Am very pleased with its performance.
