>>1036489I have one and used it for about 50 nights in the subalpine and coastal regions of the united states pacific north west (a temperate rainforest with gusting winds and not many bugs)
very satisfied. it has always kept me dry, held up to 40 mph winds with no trouble, supports at least a few inches of snow, and is quick to setup and take down.
get the new design with a zipper on both sides.
learn it pitch it high, the bottom should come up from the ground and form a wall about 2" high. otherwise the foot end will be super low and you'll have poor ventilation.
also, consider the tarptent trekker. it wasn't available when I got my skyscape, and I have no experience with it, but it appears to be more roomy for similar weight and bulk.
